Jon got a gig working on a movie this week so there will not be a normal show. I recently conducted an interview with a client who quickly became a friend during the process of making his album. We sat down and talked for about 40 minutes about the creative process, the studio process, and how the overall project came together. I also included one of the songs that we discuss at the end of the show. Here is that interview.

This week we cover all the comments from the previous show, the mix submissions from the show before that, and Jon talks about changing your guitar strings. This is a long show, but there is tons of listener feedback and content in this one.

This week Ryan interviews Bobby Owsinski. The interview is a long one, so the entire show will just be the one segment. Take a listen… it is more than worth the time.

This week Ryan is joined by Randy Coppinger to determine which of the most commonly used microphones would give us a great kick drum sound. This is a big segment. This show is almost double the time of our regular show and only one segment. If you ever wanted to know what is the best way to get your kick sound, this show just may give you that answer.
