Special Guest: Grammy Award-Nominated Producer/Engineer Paul Fig

Music, Mindfulness, & Madness

This week, we speak to Grammy Award-nominated producer/engineer Paul Fig about how he works and develops his craft. We also discuss the rich history behind his studio, www.davesroom.net, in Southern California.
While working at world-famous Sound City Studios, Fig had the opportunity to practice every aspect of his trade, working with such luminaries as Joe Barresi, Matt Hyde, Don Smith, Matt Wallace, David Bianco, George Drakoulias and Greg Fidelman. During that time he worked on albums by Ry Cooder, Robert Cray, and the legendary Johnny Cash.

Fig has since put his stamp on records by Deftones, Coheed and Cambria, Trivium, and the critically acclaimed Ghost B.C’s 2013 album, Infestissumam. In 2014, he received a Grammy Nomination in the category of Best Engineered Album Non Classical for Alice in Chains “The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here”. Most recently, he Co-Produced and engineered Jerry Cantrell’s new solo effort “Brighten” which was released October 29, 2021.

Despite working all hours in the studio, Fig also finds time to compose and record music for television and film, including the HBO Docu-series “Sonic Highways”, The Motion Picture “The Collection”, Fox Sports, and MTV.
