#140: Josh Silverberg on Programming, Producing, & the Power of God [Podcast]

programming

Draw your inspiration from the one who inspires, not from a secondhand revelation.” – Josh Silverberg

How would you like to sit down in the studio of a successful producer in Christian music and learn about music production? That’s what this conversation with Josh Silverberg feels like.

Josh is an incredible producer & songwriter in Nashville who has produced The Newsboys, Jordan Feliz, Urban Rescue, & Audio Adrenaline, to name a few. Some of his more recent songs are with Jesus Culture – “In the River” and “Miracles”, as well as the hit single by Jordan Feliz, “The River.”

In this interview we talk about Josh’s mindset as a producer, what gear you need to get started, what makes hit songs, and even some stories of healing and the power of God.

Enjoy!

padslogoToday’s podcast is brought to you by Coresound. Coresound is an amazing new company that provides pad loops for your worship services.

What are pad loops, you may say? Essentially, it’s like the best keyboard sound or guitar swell you’ve ever heard, sitting underneath your live worship team. It’s helps to create a beautiful, patient atmosphere for your worship team and fill out the sound.

They’re a great investment if you have a smaller worship team or if you have a large team but want to create a bigger sound and improve your transitions. We’ve used them quite a bit at my church. We’ve actually done a two piece setup with me on a guitar, pad loops, and a drum pad and it sounds HUGE. And of all the pads I’ve tried, Coresound are the best sounding. By far.

I have the Deluxe bundle which comes with 6 different sounding pads in all 12 keys. It’s amazing because you literally have an arsenal of versatility for your worship team. Load them up on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and you’re good to go. Whatever you play within the key of the pad loop sounds amazing, and each pad lasts for about 20 minutes.

So here’s the deal: head on over to coresoundpads.com and use the promo code “beyondsunday” and get yourself 20% off any purchase.

In this Episode You’ll Hear More About:

  • How much has changed in the last three years.
  • Why programming skills are essential to songwriters & producers.
  • How to create the biggest sound using the least amount of tracks.
  • Why you should stop worrying about writing “singable” songs and what to focus on instead.
  • Production tips for a verse and chorus drop.
  • What it’s like to write with Jesus Culture.
  • Why you need to stop comparing and copying.
  • Why you should write from a worshiper’s perspective.
  • The secret to writing a hit song.
  • The importance of wrestling with songs.
  • How to be used by God in the miraculous.

Our job on earth is to love God and love people. God does the healing and we do the loving.” – Josh Silverberg

      Josh, thanks so much for praying!!! I instantly put my hand on my stomach as a “stand in” for my son who has a severe dairy allergy (like anaphylactic). I wept and had no voice it was so intense…it was such a powerful moment. May God be glorified in your massive fruitfulness!
