We had the chance to sit down with legendary metal producer Jens Bogren at MetalCon 2026 in Berlin, where he shared deep insights into recording heavy guitars, working with bands, and the psychology behind great productions.
In this interview, Jens breaks down his go-to guitar miking techniques, why the Shure SM57 is still a studio staple, and how pairing it with a Royer R-121 can shape a powerful metal tone. He also talks about the importance of phase alignment, experimenting with different speakers in a cab, and why capturing the right sound at the source is still crucial—even in today’s digital production world.
Beyond gear, Jens emphasizes something many producers overlook: psychology. Learn why understanding your client’s vision, guiding them diplomatically, and building trust are just as important as technical skills when producing records.
🎸 What you’ll learn in this video:
Best mic techniques for recording metal guitar amps
Why the guitarist matters more than the gear
Real amps vs amp sims – which should you use?
Recording vs mixing: where the real sound is made
How to build a home studio on a budget
Why room acoustics and monitoring are more important than expensive gear
The role of psychology in music production
We also talk about Jens’ work with bands like Opeth and Kreator, and how certain albums helped shape their careers.

Human Made Content – Why We Rely on Real People
More and more videos are created entirely by AI — with no real voices and no real experiences. We’ve chosen a different path!
Our videos feature real people: musicians, FOH engineers, sound designers.
With real voices, real opinions — and real sound examples.
AI can cut clips or add subtitles —but it can’t replace real experience on camera.
That’s why: Our content is made by humans, for humans.
And that’s what makes the difference!
