EP. 62 - Nick Wheeler Unpacks An All-American Debut Record That Was Anything But A Reject

The Record Process

In this episode, we sat down with producer, songwriter, and founding member of The All American Rejects Nick Wheeler to discuss the bands debut record that changed their lives overnight. He talks about recording Tyson’s vocals for the first time in high school, and we discuss the adaptability that was needed to create a full band sound with just two members. He describes the process of making the record with producer Tim O'heir, and he then shares his experience of going from a $75/month flat to touring the world and even being schmoozed by the big labels. Other topics covered include:

10:27 - Sending out demos
26:12 - Tracking the record in the studio
49:44 - The mixing and mastering stages
54:02 - What the record label experience was like
