Great Podcast
This is a great podcast for any one interested in music and audio production. Great conversations by industry professionals. Tips for breaking into the industry, DAW and gear discussions, including Current trends and directions of the industry. I look forward to this podcast every week.
Spot on the money...
Best audio industry podcast I've heard yet. A seasoned group of veterans cover trends in both hardware tools and future musical applications. I love their insights, and tend to really agree with them about how some functions are gained with the new "in the box" DAW style productions, but the danger may be that feel and originality may be sacrificed, and why this may be pushing popular music to become so homogenized. Of course keeping an overview of the whole process with valuable producers such a these authors, helps keep the tools in their place, and the music still the most important thing.
