Studio Rats Podcast #8 - Know Your Tools

In this episode, I expand a bit on our discussion last week about gear shootouts.  

I think it’s time well spent to shootout gear you already own - not only for discovering what gear sounds the best, but also from a workflow perspective.  In other words, what gear gets you the desired sound quickly and with minimal fuss.

Studio Rats Podcast #6 - Is DIY Killing Your Creativity And Efficiency?

In this episode of the podcast, Jeff and I discuss topics that are only sometimes tangentially related to the topic! Along the way, we mention; Mumble, Crane Song HEDD, George Lucas, the excellent book by Howard Massey called Behind The Glass Volume 2, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, stereo and mono guitars, panning, stereo delay instead of double tracking, the importance of arrangements, American Idol, networking, BARMMAP, AES, EARS, Steve Hindalong of The Choir, and finally, spontaneity and inspiration.

Special thanks to Mark Marshall for providing the music.
