I’ve had so many ah ha moments with my mixing listening to this podcast.

I am doing live sound engineering courses at Berklee Online and this podcast is so cool and full of information plus advice! Thanks a bunch for making this podcast

Quality mentoring and sound advice

I’m new to this community, and way beyond excited about 2023. Keep it up Mr.Justin! I’m ALL ears..

I subscribed to a handful of shows on the subject so I could have the jargon and lingo in my head as I start learning this stuff. As expected, most of it was super boring and above my head, but this guy somehow manages to be interesting and above my head. He’s still talking about stuff that I don’t fully understand yet, but he does it so patiently, and explains things so well, that I feel like it won’t be long before I know all about it. Whereas most other shows make me feel like I’ll never catch up to the amount of knowledge I need in order to do anything. Bottom Line: Informative Easy-Listening.

Well as a guy who work for some years in these kinda things I mostly know about the topics but there’s so much space and confusions in my knowledge cause usually nobody teach the reasons to you and most don’t know the reasons themselves But the cool thing about these videos is that I understand the reasons behind and even get the reasons for other made up rules they fed me, to the point where you can come up with things you want and your sound need and mr colletti is a really great skilled teacher for guiding the hows and whys theoretically and feelingly There are tons of people having opinion on these topics but I never saw a more convincing person

Justin’s great. He knows his stuff and will challenge you without talking down to his audience.

Nearly every piece of advice, every tip, every concept, has a disclaimer something along the lines of “this wont even make sense until you buy the course” or promising details and explanations and then cutting off saying “thats too much for now, just go get my course”. The best way to review this podcast is said by the author himself: “maybe if your already able to hear every minute detail of every parameter change, then this free podcast is good enough for you, but otherwise go check out my product”

Justin knows his stuff. This podcast is a great balance of affirming the things you’re doing right, challenging bad habits, and also presenting new ways of thinking about your approach. The way info is presented covers lots of perspectives and situations.

Justin mixes in the craft and the business of music production - the latest episode from 4/19/22 focused on how to build your network and ‘reel’ for example. Extremely relevant topics for us hobbyists, semi pro producers and pro engineers! Can’t recommend this podcast enough.

I’m sooo thankful I found this podcast! Justin breaks down every concept that you need to understand in order to take your music productions to the next level. This truly is a treasure trove of audio wisdom. It’s a little different from the normal audio tutorial type stuff, this podcast is about how to think about audio production more than technical knowledge. Sonic Scoop podcast is pretty much a free 4 year degree in Music Production. AMAZING!!!

Seriously I have no other words than “greatness”. Just start listening and don’t stop. Get the course and create a deeper understanding of mixing philosophies to make knowledgeable decisions from here on out. Thanks so much for the knowledge!

I just discovered this podcast and I’m really glad I did. So much useful information delivered concisely and thoughtfully. Thanks Justin!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Quality content in here. Honesty, i I like the short format episodes; quick drive by knowledge. Thanks Justin.

Justin breaks down topics into digestible bites, and distills the more technical information down to what really matters when working with audio. Highly recommended!

Thanks for such an awesome podcast ... Justin is awesome ... I learn so much from each episode

One of my new favorite sources of encouragement, pro tips, and “been there done that” kind of advice for folks getting into the music industry. Justin knows the craft well and is an excellent communicator, offering lots of insight into a complex audio world with engaging and easy-to-listen-to chunks of advice. Thanks for the information and inspiration!

Great insights and excellent presentation. I really like the no nonsense approach Justin takes to the episodes. There is no annoying theme music or sound effects, just great info presented in a very consumable way. PLUS once I heard Jiu Jitsu mentioned I knew there was a reason I liked it so much 😂! Great work, and thank you!

I think the aspirational audio world could use more of the big picture of the business and personal habits and work ethic - something I struggle with and have struggled with forever. New listener, but really good first impressions.

Listen to everyone of these. I learn something every time I listen.

Justin is an amazing person and a fabulous engineer. He brings years of experience and a deep knowledge to every session he makes. You can’t help but to learn from him!!!!

I never do these reviews, but I really have gotten so much from Justin's podcast that I owe it back to give praise where its due. I'm a professional audio engineer that primarily mixes/tracks HipHop/Pop here in NYC. I started as an assistant, worked my way up to tracking, then moved on to mixing like so many before me. I still continue to try and learn as much as I can about this crazy thing called the music business and this podcast helps with that. He gives great practical advice for technique as well as things to help me tighten up projects I'm pursuing through my own artistic endeavors. Thanks Justin. big fan of the pod.

Justin is a great teacher, goes in depth without rambling. He also brings a human element that is refreshing, particularly because he comes off as a genuinely good person who is passionate about not only music and engineering, but creativity, fulfillment, and self-reflection. Unusually high-quality content from a thoughtful person with a soothing voice. Highly recommend!

Justin does a great job teaching so you not just have answers to common challenges in mixing and mastering, but also so you are better equipped to ask your own questions and dig deeper. Like anyone with experience, Justin has his own opinions about subjective matters, but he always frames topics and questions through the lens of, “It depends,” which is always the right philosophy. An automatic listen for me every time, whether it’s a short or long episode. Give it a try by looking for topics that interest to you to start. Thanks, Justin!

What a great podcast, host, and incredible content. I love it. Always interested.

I love Justin's teaching style, and have learned a great deal from this podcast. I bought his Mixing Breakthroughs course, based on the podcast, and have been extremely satisfied with that as well.

Whenever I’m mixing songs I get up in the morning and as I’m drinking my coffee I listen to this podcast or Produce Like A Pro. It helps me prepare for job ahead. My mastering guy says these are the best mixes I’ve ever done and I have been mixing for decades. Living proof it works.

Such a useful podcast. I learn something new every episode!

Justin's combination of knowledge, focus, practicality and likability is why I always click play when I see that a new Sonicscoop podcast is available.

I’ve learned more from Justin and the crew in the last couple of years than I picked up on my own in the previous ten years. The podcast is superior to any other studio production learning resource that I’ve encountered anywhere. Sonic Scoop Rocks!

Great and thoughtful host, excellent show and content. I like that there’s no music in the show

I just finished listening to episode 63. I've been listening since episode 1 was released. Justin has become my mentor. Seriously... The information, advice and wisdom that this guy gives you (for free) is priceless if you're an audio engineer or striving to become one. I take away something valuable with every single episode. I couldn't ask for a better podcast. Thank you, Justin!

Justin does an excellent presentation on topics for making your mixes better. He is thought provking, not just offering specific how to fixes.

Justin and his guests are some of the most insightful engineers I’ve come across. Absolutely love this podcast. 10/10 would recommend :)

I stumbled on one of Justin's SonicScoop videos a few months ago, and was immediately engaged. There's a ton of mixing and pro audio content out there and much of it is worthwhile, but for whatever reason, Justin's manner and way of explaining things just resonates especially well for me. This podcast only has a handful of episodes as I'm reviewing but it's what I've come to expect from Mr. Colletti, with an added focus on music business concerns. There will be guests as the show goes on and I'm sure that will be great, but I hope the solo format doesn't entirely go away. You're lucky if you find someone that just seems to break through the noise in your brain as you try to learn this stuff -- that person may or may not be Justin C for you, but this podcast is certainly worth a listen.

Justin couldn’t be more clear and eloquent when talking about audio. Right to the point, concise, practical information. I just wished it would be a little bit longer. Thank you Justin and Sonic Scoop.

I’ve been a big fan of Sonic Scoop for years. Justin’s articles and videos are super informative so I’m really excited to see what he does with a podcast. The first couple episodes are great – I listened to them both multiple times and took notes. Can’t wait to hear more!

I've checked out Sonic Scoop regularly for a few years now, a geat source of practical studio lore, it helps me keep my studio running!

fantastic first episode \. Really dig the conent that sonicscoop puts out on their site and this pocast continues that , thanks!

I'm stoked to see where this goes! I've been a fan of Sonic Scoop for years now. As a veteran of the industry, I appreciate the killer info they share with their fanbase regarding all aspects of the music biz. Keep up the good work Justin and Co.!

Nerding out about audio and economics? What more could you want?? This guy is so entertaining that even the product plugs are fund to listen to. Always informative and worth the listen.

Thanks for launching this podcast! I was glad to find a show that talks to audio engineers and creative professionals about how to run their business. This episode helped me a lot to think about how I can set my rates better.

I have high hopes for this Podcast. The first episode is great, and I've loved all of Justin's videos in the past.
