Murphy's Great Video Podcast Yamaha MSP5 Studio Monitor Speakers History of the Yamaha NS10 LiveFromDarylsHouse.com T-Bone Wolk Celebrity Interview: We're proud to welcome performing and recording innovator Todd Rundgren. The most excellent Slau (his podcast: SessionsWithSlau.com) joins me for this interview. Hailed in the early stage of his career as a new pop-wunderkind, supported by the certified gold solo double LP Something/Anything? in 1972, Rundgren's career has produced a diverse range of recordings as solo artist, and during the seventies and eighties with the band Utopia. He has also been extremely active as a producer and engineer on the recorded work of other musicians. During the 1970s and 1980s, Rundgren produced big-selling albums, including Bat Out of Hell by Meat Loaf, We're an American Band by Grand Funk Railroad, and Skylarking by XTC. In the 1980s and 1990s his interest in video and computers led to Rundgren's "Time Heals" being the eighth video played on MTV, and "Change Myself" was generated on commercially available Amiga Computers. His best-known songs include "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw the Light" which have heavy rotation on classic rock radio stations, and "Bang the Drum All Day" featured in many sports arenas, commercials, and movie trailers.

This week Mike is relaxing in Cabo and Slau is sitting in as guest host. Slau is a New York City-based singer/songwriter and producer. During his teenage years, he developed his performance skills as a multi-instrumentalist while performing with various folk ensembles and dance bands. His reputation as a versatile musician led to an early career as a session musician for television scores as well as commercial jingles and underscores. Slau's songwriting has been recognized by Musician Magazine where he was a semi-finalist in the Best Unsigned Band Contest and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Songwriters Workshop. He's been a featured performer at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Showcase and has been a regular contributor to the New York City Songwriters Circle and The Bitter End. In 2005, the new media world of podcasting rallied behind one of Slau's tunes entitled If Every Day Were Christmas, a song co-written with Orlando Pagan. Former MTV VJ, Adam Curry, heard the song, played it on his podcast, The Daily Source Code and came up with the idea of a We Are the World-type benefit. Over 50 artists from 9 countries took part in Podsafe for Peace, a benefit song for UNICEF produced by Slau. It remains in the Top 10 most played songs in the podcasting world and has been played on satellite and terrestrial radio including Sirius, XM, BBC, CBC and Westwood One. Currently, Slau is working on a follow up to The Weight of Words, his 2001 debut album. The new album is scheduled for release in the spring of 2008.

What I'm looking for is something with a record button that I can click, say "boom", and have that "boom" available immediately for manipulation and sequencing." Try Abelton LIVE. Joao Alves: FaderWear Pascal Zander: Help Him Identify These Songs Greg Kocis: This video details the origins of one of the most famous and used drum loop samples ever. It narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. John Walker: "I travel on business a lot and I'm looking for a way to take something along that will allow me to work on songs while I'm on the road. I'm a Pro Tools user and I'm seriously considering the MBox Mini, but I was wondering if you guys were aware of any other platforms that might work as well or maybe better on a laptop." Go For The Mini Pierre Foisy: "I need to hook-up an audio-interface to my iMac running Garageband. I've been behind in my knowledge of all the digital things and so I'm just coming back to recording and trying to get up-to-snuff on all this. "I would like to make a recording that will be the best I can do with the equipment I have. Right now, I've stopped my choice of interface to three models: Edirol FA-101, Focusrite Saffire (not LE) or TC Electronic Konnekt 8 or Konnekt 24. In terms of quality, how would you rate them from less to better." Those are three very nice units, all from reputable companies. Any of them would make a great choice.

Who? You can see this Unsung Hero Of The Music Business in this video at the 1:05 mark where he says, "What are we saying to each other?" Slau - "There’s a known problem with the Edirol R-09 that might potentially affect listeners who own the machine. I was listening to Jim Fidler’s podcast, Republic of Avalon Radio, where, during his walk with his wife, he started talking about this problem where the side of the unit starts to come loose and buckle. It seems like a minor nuisance at first but it becomes a major problem if not fixed. I experienced the same thing and was surprised to find out that a lot of people are starting to see this. "Jim had one of the first units ever shipped and I followed suit about a week later. So, now that we’ve seen this effect, I bet more and more people will start to notice this. Thing is, our units are out of warranty but those people who see this now and bought their units a few months after us can still have it fixed under warranty. BTW, another issue that people have seen is that the back plate switches come loose very easily and just move freely without any effect. That was a problem that happened to both of us and is also a known issue. Edirol hasn’t done any recall or anything but I think they should. They’re replacing warranty units with a different polymer these days. Anyway, maybe this will help some folks. Jim Fidler talks about it in one of his recent episodes."

News: Sneak Peek At Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0 Musical Affirmations For Musicians Audio Damage Announces Vapor Jars Of Clay Remix Contest StudioTraxx de la Mancha Releases Ring Thing FREE VST For Windows Our Friend Marc Sorger: Hello everyone, this is Big Al. This week I lost a good friend of mine in a senseless auto accident twenty miles north of Spokane, Washington. His name was Marc Sorger, He was 56. Marc was a real renaissance man of the music business; someone that did everything well. And a true Unsung Hero. He was one the best all-around musicians / studio cats I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. He was a vibrant and dynamic live performer as well as a gifted engineer and mixer. He was also one of the few golden ears I've ever known. I swear he could spot a problem that was plus or minus 2 db at 18k . . . over the telephone. As a performer (sax and vocals) he was so fun to watch. He lived and loved his music. His vocal range was stunning and he could do total justice to screaming rock and roll or a tender jazz ballad. He had the kind of voice that made most people feel like just giving up their singing when they heard him. For some reason, it just made me want to be better. I studied him for hours and it was an education beyond monetary value. He performed and wrote with The Dillards, The Righteous Brothers, Gino Vanelli, Michael McDonald, Dean and Carol Parks, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Wopat, Greg Topper, The Spirits Of Rhythm, Safe Sax and a host of others. He also helped to design and build several studios, including Walter Brecker's place over in Hawaii a few years ago. I had so many good times with Marc in the studio. We usually spent the whole session trying to recover from laughter. I remember one time we were working on some foley late at night and we were like two kids playing in their favorite sandbox together. It was pure joy and magic. That's the way it was always meant to be in the studio as far as I'm concerned. Below are links to just a sample of some of his work, including some projects we worked on together, and other folks with whom he worked and played. If you happen to have known him or worked with him, please drop me a line and let me know. I can't begin to fathom that we'll never work together again. I miss him so much it hurts. My condolences to Marc's whole family, his daughters (Rachell, Natalie and Sabrina), his friends and his long-time musical partners in the group Safe Sax, John Lowry and Tera Wolfe-Brasch.

New Quincy Jones Video Podcast Optimizing Windows XP For Audio Diddy Recruits New Assistant Online Eagles New Album Almost Ready Tuna Pitch Tuning Widget Crosstalk: Mike gets new gear! PSN In Jason Heath's Double Bass Blog ProTools VS Analog Listening Challenge Tronical Power Tune System Featured Performance: We recently featured a news item about the sad and untimely death of Brad Delp of the band Boston. Michael Masse wrote us about this and a tribute he's produced. Michael writes, "I wanted to share with you a recording I recently completed as a tribute to Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston who passed away recently. When I heard the circumstances surrounding his death, a suicide, it broke my heart. That someone who brought millions of people so much joy could feel so sad and alone—there’s no thought more tragic to a fellow musician and fan. "One of my favorite Boston songs has always been A Man I’ll Never Be from Don’t Look Back. That song hits home for me even more now. It expresses a feeling of inadequacy that I think we all can relate to at some point, and I expect that song gave Brad some comfort, too. "Here’s my humble rendition—it’s sort of an acoustic arrangement. I could never do Brad's voice justice, but I wanted to record it to mark his passing. I performed all the vocals and music, and recorded and mixed it in my home project studio. The chain was a Neumann TLM49 into a Pacifica pre amp then through my RME Fireface 800 into Cubase 4."

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: The song, Light My Fire was recorded and released at approximately the same time by two different artists. The more famous one today is by Jim Morrison with The Doors, but the song was equally successful by another singer/guitarist. Who is he? A: Jose Feliciano! This week's winner is Steve Sawyer!

You've heard him at the top and end of the show for over a year now. This week, Mike sat down with Lane Sumner, the the composer and performer of the PSN theme called Road Trip. He's a fantastic guitar player, a project studio owner, and a teacher. Listen in as Mike visits Lane at his studio. Lane Sumner's Web Site Lane's Studio: The Stupid Knob: Keith is at it again! Derek K. Miller from Inside Home Recording sent us this Nickelback comparison: Click here to listen Feature Story: This is a great story from Brian Daste of The Magic Closet recording studio in Portland, Oregon. It's a fascinating project bringing young and old artsits together. Bryan graduated from the University of Miami with a baccalaureate in Audio Engineering. Since then he has worked in some very well respected post-production studios on the East and West coasts (Outpost in Miami and Bongo Post + Music in Sacramento) - as well as independently working for musical artists in both regions. DeepRoots.com ScotlandBarr.com TheMagicCloset.net Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: What was the first classical album to go platinum, and who was the artist? A: Switched-On Bach by Wendy Carlos (then Walter Carlos) was the first classical album to go platinum in 1968. Her Bach transcriptions for the Moog synthesizer brought electronic sounds into the mainstream. She's been credited with starting the synth revolution. Before this album, synths were mainly perceived as educational tools and not part of mainstream music. She painstakingly performed Bach using a MOOG modular and an Ampex 8 track tape recorder. Remember, the MOOG modular did not have any presets, was monophonic and you had to use patch chords to manually connect components to come up with a new sound. The album came out and rocked the music industry. It�s fascinating to think a Bach album started it all. This week's winner is David Melfi.

One of our listeners, John Phillips, just found out first-hand a couple of weeks ago. Al caught up with John so that he could share his experience with everyone. http://ProMediaTraining.com Featured Performance: We ran across a very interesting article by Dan Richards over at Studio Reviews Magazine. Dan recently published an article, Why Don't My Recordings Sound Pro?, and in it he concentrated mostly on the idea that the road to getting a "pro sound" had more to do with making a good working arrangement, and less about needing a $3,000.00 microphone. He also pointed out that it was important that we sometimes try to see the forest for the trees by de-emphasizing "the gear" that we all lust after. Because, in the end, the gear doesn't make the music. Check out a tune recorded with just a few Shure SM 57s!

Clean[Show #49] Charles Dye Part #1: This Time ... It's Personal. | News, a Celebrity Interview with Charles Dye and we tweak The Stupid Knob! News: Digidesign Releases Pro Tools 7.3 LinPlug Releases Organ 3 Celemony Releases Melodyne Plugin Celebrity Interview: Charles Dye This week we sat down for a conversation with Latin Grammy Award-winning engineer, mixer and producer Charles Dye, who began his engineering career in 1992. Since that time he has mixed hits for Ricky Martin, Sammy Hagar, Julio Iglesias, and Jon Bon Jovi, as well as recorded artists such as Aerosmith, Hanson, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Gloria Estefan, among many others. Since then, Charles has become a bit of a pioneer in the area of mixing records on Pro Tools, evidenced by his mix of Livin' La Vida Loca, as Dan Daley said in Mix Magazine, "a milestone of technology: the first Number One record to be done completely within a hard disk system. In addition to changing the course of mainstream pop music, 'La Vida' may also turn out to be a pivot point in how records are made." Charles's further commitment to Pro Tools and mixing on it was demonstrated by his two-time Grammy and Latin Grammy nominated engineering and mixing of five additional songs on Ricky Martin's album, including two additional singles Shake Your Bon Bon and Private Emotion. In 2001 he was awarded a Latin Grammy for Best Engineered Album for Thalia's Arrasando, and he worked with Pro Tools on that project as well. As a veteran Pro Tools user he has recorded, mixed and produced almost every record he's worked on in the last several years completely on the system, and though he may use an analog or digital large-format console from time to time, you'll always find his Pro Tools nearby for the sounds and techniques he's become known for. And most importantly, he's a good friend of PSN and all of our loyal listeners. Get Mix It Like A Record For Just $99! Source Elements Plugin The Stupid Knob: The MPAA swings its weight around...again. Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: Timothy B. Schmit replaced Randy Meisner in the Eagles when he quit in 1977. But that wasn't the first time Schmit had replaced Meisner in a popular band. When, and in which band did he replace him prior to 1977? A: Poco in 1969. Congratulations to this week's winner Patrick McNeal! He takes home a copy of Guitar And Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at GuitarAndDrumTrainer.com.

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: Are You Lonesome Tonight? was a big 1960 hit for Elvis Presley. But he wasn't the first one to record it. It was first recorded all the way back in 1926. Who was the artist? A: It was written by Roy Turk and Lou Handman in 1926 as a vaudeville recitation and first recorded by Al Jolson. Brian Stephens over at The Music Pro Show found some alternate research that suggests the answer might have been Ned Jakobs on May 17, 1927. It was difficult to find a definitive answer for either one, so we would have accepted either answer. No one but Brian submitted a correct answer and he generously offered to pass the prize on to the next winner. Brian also sent along a little trivia about our trivia. Elvis' version of "Lonesome" was recorded during a late night session, about 3-4 AM, at the request of Colonel Parker. His wife apparently loved the song so much that he wanted the "Big E" to do a version, assuring Elvis it would be a hit again. See you next week!

Trevor Brooks - Lava Lamps Indoctrinating Our Children: Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: What was the first record to sell a million copies? A: There were a lot of really good guesses, but none that went back in time quite far enough. There may have been some confusion as noted by Tony Butterworth over at the Home Made Hit Show. His answer was Perry Como's Catch A Falling Star, which the RIAA's own web site says was the first Gold single that was...and here's the important part...."officially" certified by the RIAA, which was founded in 1952. The original "gold record" awards were presented to artists by their own record companies to publicize the achievement of 1,000,000 sales. The first of these was awarded by RCA to Glenn Miller in February 1942, celebrating 1.2 million sales of Chattanooga Choo Choo. The 78-rpm commercial version of the song was recorded on May 7, 1941 for RCA Victor's Bluebird label and became the first to be certified a gold disc on February 10, 1942. The transcription of this award ceremony can be heard on the first of three volumes of RCA's "Legendary Performer" compilations released by RCA in the 1970s. Since Tony's answer was technically correct in the context of the RIAA, we're declaring him this week's winner and he takes home a copy of Guitar And Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at RenegadeMinds.com. Congratulations Tony! See you next week!

News: Ableton.com Live 6 Interactive Tour Airspun.com Combo Mac OS X Updates Compatible With Pro Tools 7: OS 10.4.6 For PowerPC Macs OS 10.4.6 For Intel Macs Mixing With Your Mind Celebrity Interview: Stewart McLellan is a project studio owner in British Columbia. He also used to work for TC Helicon developing and testing cool new gear, which he still does on occasion as a consultant. We caught up with Stewart a couple of weeks ago and had a chance to chat about his approach to making music in his studio...AND even getting paid for some of it! http://www.TC-Helicon.com http://www.harmony4.blogspot.com http://www.tc-helicon.com/default.asp?id=2895 http://www.tc-helicon.com/default.asp?id=2349 Stewart's Studio Viewer Mail: Patch Bay Information Answer To Last Week's "How'd They Do That?" Q: David Bowie’s Vocals On "Heroes". Bowie's voice starts dry and then has this huge reverb that develops deeper as he sings stronger and then automatically becomes more intimate and up close as he sings more softly. How'd they do that? A: Here's the answer straight from Tony Visconti, the man who came up with the idea. "I set up three microphones. We only had two or three tracks left, and I needed one of these for backing vocals. I couldn’t even bounce down, and so we’d snookered ourselves. "Therefore, even though I would have ideally loved to put each mic on a separate track – enabling us to capture the whole room when he sang loud, and just that one mic right in front of his face when he sang quietly – I put gates on mics two and three. Mic number one was in front of him with fairly heavy compression, because I knew beforehand that he was really going to shout, and it all went down to one track. This was recording by the seat of your pants, and Bowie was thrilled with the idea that I wanted to do something unique. He thrives on anything that’s different and someone else hasn’t thought of yet, and I just thought ‘Let’s do this live,’ because he’s a great singer and he could always sing it again if I made a mistake. That’s the luxury of working with him: he’s consistently good when he sings. He’s in tune, he’s passionate, and he delivers an arena-type performance every time. "Mic number one was a valve U47, and with the other two on gates I made sure that number two, an 87 placed about 15 feet away from him, would go on at a certain level, while the third mic, another 87 that was all the way at the other end of the room, didn’t open up until he really sang loud. That reverb on his voice is therefore the room itself, none of it is artificial, and it’s his voice triggering the gates. What is really great is that the sound of the opening two verses is really intimate. It doesn’t sound like a big room yet, it sounds like somebody just singing about a foot away from your ear. The whole idea worked, and what you hear on the record is probably take three." http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/chats/dbchattonyv0800.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/“Heroes?_(song) Thanks for this great idea from Dave from Cincinnati!

He collaborated with some of the greatest names in the music industry, including The Beatles, Sam Cooke, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Clapton, Sammy Davis Jr., Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, George Harrison, The Jackson 5, Quincy Jones, Bob Dylan, and The Rolling Stones. He was the only person to receive a credit on a Beatles single, playing the electric piano on Get Back as part of the rooftop concert. Here are some other quick facts: Billy Preston was the first musical guest on Saturday Night Live in 1975. He recorded the song With You I'm Born Again with Syreeta Wright as Billy Preston and Syreeta, which reached #2 in the UK in 1979. Miles Davis titled a song Billy Preston in his honor.

Clean[Show #19] Charles Dye - Part #2 Of The 30 Days Of Dye | Viewer mail, a hot new demo offer from IK Multimedia and we present Part #2 of our 30 Days Of Dye series of interviews with Charles Dye. Viewer Mail: A request for help from Aaron Griffith of Death 101 Records. His friend is using Fruity Loops Studio (the latest version). Amplitube 1.0 worked fine, but he's getting all sorts of errors. He also tried it with Cakewalk Home Studio and it won't work there either. Have anyone heard of any issues with Amplitube 2.0 not working in this context? Write in and let us know! On a related note, IK Multimedia is offering a fully functional Amplitube 2 demo good for 30 starts! You'll need a SyncroSoft USB dongle or iKey plugged into your computer when you install it to activate it. This is not an iLok. If you don't have one you can get one online or at a local Guitar Center for about 30 bucks.

Here's Charles' setting for the Waves RenComp that closely mimics the buss compressor on an SSL console: Set to Electro mode Character to Smooth ARC off Ratio = 2:1 Attack = 15 Release = approx. 250-300 (set about to 8th note) With most of the music he's been mixing lately, 4 dB of compression at the loudest point in the song has been sounding really good. Charles comments, "I should also say that this is in no way considered mastering compression. Compression across the stereo bus while mixing is done all the time on most of the records you own. Whether inserted at the beginning or towards the end it's been a pretty standard technique for decades done by engineers all over the globe.

You can control the amount with the send fader. However, when I want to compress two tracks, say two vocal tracks while recording, I don't think it works the same way. I think you need to send each track through its own compressor. Otherwise transients from one would affect compression on the other. What's your opinion?" Celebrity Interview: Al explains that a while back he found another podcast about home recording that he really enjoyed called Home Studio And Audio Review. Unfortunately, it's no longer being produced, but all of the shows are still available for download. Mike and Al caught up with one of the hosts of the show, Mr. Matt Long.

We review some of what has gone into our first ten shows and how we're just not going to stop! We're already planning what we're going to do to make our 100th show special. Today's show is a tasty grab bag of tidbits that were planned for earlier shows but never made it for one reason or another. CONGRATULATIONS TO JOHN DAVIDSON! John and his lovely wife just welcomed a new addition to the family with a healthy baby boy! He was born at 12:11 AM on Saturday March 11, 2006. He's 6 pounds, 9 ounces, and 20 1/2" long. Al points out that he believes John brought in a surround sound crew to record the birth and that he managed to get a small sample from the scratch track already in 5.1. Al plays the clip and everyone is amazed by the "you are there" realism! A Minor Correction: Just a minor correction from last week's trivia question. We spoke with Charles Dye, and while the Ricky Martin song, Livin' La Vida Loca was recorded and mixed entirely inside the box with Pro Tools, it wasn't mastered that way. It was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in New York, New York. Here's the link to the awesome Sterling Sound web site: http://www.Sterling-Sound.com Ted and Sterling Sound has done some great work with artists like: John Mayer, Destiny's Child, Nickelback, Ozzy Osbourne, Green Day, Santana, Bare Naked Ladies, Billy Joel, Chris Botti and a host of others. DIGI 001 Al brings up a couple of suggestions for upgrading if you're still using a Digidesign DIGI 001. You might consider the Mbox2, but it turns out that Digidesign is still offering their upgrade trade-in special towards any of the DIGI 002 systems. Al recommends contacting Andy Diekroger at Sweetwater Sound for details. Sweetwater Sound Andy Diekroger (800) 222-4700 Extension: 1273 Steely DanAja Mike highly recommends a DVD titled, Steely Dan - Aja. This is a vivid portrait of the making of the canonical 1970s record AJA by Steely Dan. Band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen recall the history of an album that was a year in the making, but rewarded with a Grammy Award and three hit singles. British songwriter Ian Dury, the Doobie Brothers' Michael McDonald, and music producer Gary Katz all add their fascinating anecdotes to this highly involving rockumentary. Many of the mixes are dissected and studio sessions are detailed. Find the DVD for less than ten bucks! Eric JohnsonTotal Guitar Al recommends a DVD by Eric Johnson titled Total Guitar. This is an opportunity to study with one of the electric guitar's true virtuosos. This lesson encompasses all styles and includes advanced picking for speed and accuracy, left and right hand muting, various blues bends, country "pedal steel" bends, using different positions for sound and more! Find the DVD for less than twenty bucks!

Clean[Show #9] The Cabo Project Trumpet -- Out of phase? Huh? | Mike and Al open the show with a recommendation of another podcast that's worth subscribing to.

Listen and find out! (Pssssst! In this segment John also gives away one the coolest live mixing secrets that engineers usually won't share with you. Watch out for any black helicopters hovering over your house John!) Celebrity Interview: This is the latest update in our ongoing production diary coverage of the Cabo Project, which follows the life of a song from its composition through its final mastering. In previous shows you've heard about how the song was conceived and written and you've heard the initial scratch tracks of the song. In our last segment, you heard the addition of mariachi style trumpets to the scratch track. The musician brought in to lay down these parts was the incomparable Mike Lenke. Last week we interviewed Mike about his background and his career as a performing and recording horn player. This week, we're talking with Mike specifically about his work on the Cabo Project. Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: What was the first #1 record in history to be created, start to finish, completely within a hard disk system? (No outboard gear, or outboard consoles, etc.) A: Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin, released May 11, 1999. It was #1 for 5 weeks. Charles Dye Double Bonus Points Question: Q: Who was the multi-platinum, Grammy award winning mixer/engineer that was responsible for this historic mix? A: Charles Dye! He won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album in 2001 and has been nominated six more times.

Clean[Show #8] Special Guest Mike Lenke - Pro Horn Player | Mike opens the show with an interesting web site detailing the huge collection of music memorabilia contained in the recent sale of the estate of Bill Graham: http://WolfgangsVault.com Mike's old band, Mt. Rushmore, is featured in the site here: See Mt. Rushmore memorabilia inside Wolfgangs Vault The Stupid Knob: The Electronic Frontier Foundation and ARS Technica reports on a latest statement (and possible filing?) by the RIAA that basically says it's illegal to rip your own CDs to your own iPod (or other portable player). They went even further and stated that it's illegal to make a backup copy of CDs you own. Here's one of the most interesting parts of the RIAA's take on this (emphasis ours): "Myriad online downloading services are available and offer varying types of digital rights management alternatives. For example, the Apple FairPlay technology allows users to make a limited number of copies for personal use. Presumably, consumers concerned with the ability to make back up copies would choose to purchase music from a service that allowed such copying. "Even if CDs do become damaged, replacements are readily available at affordable prices." Thanks for nothing! Mike Lenke Celebrity Interview: This week we Interview Mike Lenke, trumpet player extraordinaire. Mike has performed and recorded with the likes of Lionel Hampton, Buddy Rich, B.B. King and Ray Charles. Mike shares highlights from his career thus far as well as his experiences and insights on recording horns in the studio. After some cajoling by Big Al, he even gives up some tips on realistically emulating horns with a sampler. Mike will be making another appearance on an upcoming show as he is also part of the Cabo Project. Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: Who played keyboards on Stevie Nicks' song Stand Back under the alias Alexander Nevermind? A: Prince! This week we received correct answers from four listeners! Congratulations and props to Mike Schettler from Shortler Studios, Grae Smart, Corrinne Haskins and Jimmy James Page!

Clean[Show #7] Surround Mixing, Part #2 - Spectrasonics Trilogy Review | Mike opens the show with a fantastic resource located here: http://RecordProduction.com In this unique and comprehensive music production web site, you may watch over 100 leading record producers talking on camera about their work and take 80 exclusive behind the scenes video tours around some of the world's top recording studios. The Stupid Knob: Mike shares a short story demonstrating one of the most unique iPod accessories we've every heard of. Kids, don't try this at home! Spotlight: PSN correspondent and 5-time Emmy winner John Davidson is back for Part #2 of the series The Tech And Art Of Surround Mixing. This week John discusses the proper method for calibrating your listening space. Gear Review: Big Al reviews Trilogy, a virtual bass instrument from Eric Persing at Spectrasonics. The web site: http://Spectrasonics.net If you're not a bass player, you always run across the need to lay down a quality bass track, often with some kind of sampler. Trilogy is a Virtual Bass Module plug-in, 3 gigabyte core library with a powerful, yet easy to use interface and synth engine for manipulating the sounds. Windows and Mac, VST, AU and RTAS. Almost 1,000 patches in these categories: Acoustic Stand Up Bass - Mic'd and direct Martin Acoustic Bass Guitar Electric Bass - Fingered, Picked, Fretless, Slap, Muted Synth Several audio examples are presented demonstrating the True Staccato feature that is the power behind the stunning realism of this plugin. Big Al's Review Recommendation: It's the best in class and is going to be hard to beat any time soon, short of hiring a real session bassist. He gives Spectrasonics Trilogy 5 out of 5 VU meters! Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question: Q: In 1968, Iron Butterfly released the classic 17-minute long In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is actually a corrupted version of the song's original name. What was it? A: In The Garden Of Eden This week we received two correct answers from listeners! Congratulations and props to Grae Smart and Ronnie Marler, host of the Virtual Song Cast Podcast. Extra background facts: Is considered to be the song that ushered in the era of acid rock. Takes up the entire second side of the original record. The version edited and released as a single omits (among other things) Ron Bushy's drum solo and leaves roughly three minutes of music. Peaking at #4, the song spent 140 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. This Week's Trivia Question: Q: Who played keyboards on Stevie Nicks' song Stand Back under the alias Alexander Nevermind?

A: House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals - 1964 An interesting side note... The Animals did not write "The House of the Rising Sun." (If you look at the really small print on their 1966 album, The Best of the Animals, you'll find that it was only arranged by them.) According to Alan Lomax in his book Our Singing Country (1941), the melody of "The House of the Rising Run" is a traditional English ballad and the lyrics were written by Georgia Turner and Bert Martin (both from Kentucky). It was first recorded in the 1920s by black bluesman Texas Alexander and later covered by Leadbelly, Charlie Byrd, Roy Acuff, Woody Guthrie, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Tracy Chapman and Bob Dylan...just to name a few.

Clean[Show #3] Getting Great Guitar Tone, Wilson Pickett Dead At 64 | First up, some sad news. Wilson Pickett, best-known for hits "In the Midnight Hour" & "Mustang Sally", died of a heart attack yesterday at just 64 years young. Mike and Al share some personal memories of his work. Spotlight: Al discusses the new Macintosh computers with the Intel chip inside and it's compatibility with timing-based applications (MIDI, audio, video, etc.). The new computers are using a translation program called Rosetta to run any application that's not been updated to run on the Intel processor. Rosetta does not handle timing-based applications very well and is not ready to function as a media production platform until updates of the applications are available. Even Apple's own pro media apps (Final Cut, Soundtrack, Logic, etc.) won't run on this new machine yet. Updates of these pro apps should be available after March. In the meantime, if you're an Ableton Live user, you're good to go with the new Intel Macs! Version 5.2 was just released and ready to run on this new platform. Live 5.2 will be available as a download in February. Hot News From NAMM! Digidesign is heating up the NAMM show with lots of great news and releases...

Celebrity Interview:Big Al interviews Mike about a new feature on the show, "The Cabo Project."

We'll follow the process and along the way learn why certain decisions were made, why tracks were added or deleted, how it was mixed, etc. A sample of the very first raw, scratch track is played.
