Have you ever wondered if it's hard to organise a synthwave music festival? Maybe you're seeking help on the topics: how to start a music festival, how to create a budget for a festival, or what makes a good festival. Then check out EP 153 of the Inside The Mix podcast.

Can you imagine transforming your synthwave studio project into a live performance at a historic castle in Schloss Bevern, Germany? Join me for an intriguing conversation with Rainer Aschemeier, aka UAP, host of the "Let's Talk Synth... Seriously" podcast, as we explore his ambitious journey from the studio to the stage. Rainer shares the challenges and strategies of coordinating international collaborations with artists like the Martin Brothers from Switzerland and Katie Tich from the USA. We also touch on the often-overlooked power of traditional promotion methods, such as posters and flyers, in the digital age and how these can be crucial in bringing a local event to life.

Sound design lovers, this one's for you! We discuss the art of sound design and the transformative impact of live performances on music production. Drawing from insights from Rainer, we highlight how live shows can inspire more intentional sound choices and elevate your recordings. Plus, hear about Rainer’s discovery of Katie Tich through Landr, and the logistical hurdles he overcame to bring her from the USA to Germany for a concert. This chapter underscores the importance of live mixing and the creative opportunities it opens for artists.

We also dive into the nuts and bolts of planning and executing live concerts. Rainer walks us through his two-year collaboration with Katie, from recording their single "Talita" to the financial and technical challenges of bringing their project to a live audience. Learn how they navigated financing through gig salaries and a Kickstarter campaign, with expert insights from Brian Hazard of Color Theory on mixing and mastering. Whether you're an artist, a sound engineer, or an event planner, this episode is packed with practical advice and motivation to elevate your music projects.
