Episode 15: Genius Requires Pain with Producer Aaron Sprinkle




Pioneers Podcast show

Summary: <br> Aaron Sprinkle is one of the most talented, prolific producers in rock music over the last two decades plus, having worked with Eisley, New found Glory, Demon Hunter, Abberlin, MxPx, Acceptance, and The Almost, among many others.  In this episode, Aaron discusses the inception of his creative journey and how he built his production career, and to be honest, I attempted to fill as little space in this episode with my own words as possible, as the amount of wisdom and knowledge Aaron shared had me hinging on every word, waiting to hear more.  In Patreon subscriber-only segments, Aaron gets personal and reveals his battles with addiction and mental health, as well as his role as a parent to as uber-talented son, who deals with Autism.  He also discusses burnout and his current haiatus from making records. And in our Breakdown segment, Aaron discusses secret tricks and recording techniques, and reveals the stories behind his Opus, Acceptance’s 2006 release Phantoms.  It’s an episode worth every moment of your time.   To become a co-creator of the Podcast (for which I will call you personally to say thanks), get access to up to 15 hours of bonus content, receive the upgrade pack ($10 new subscribers and above – seven P86 demos, my 2013 interview with Dustin Kensrue of Thrice regarding worship, and rare p86 pics and vids), visit my Patreon page <a href="https://www.patreon.com/user?u=13435186">here</a>.  I’m throwing the farm at you guys…there’s no podcast out there that offers a greater value for a subscription…<br>
