Chris and Jody tackle several common recording myths. Common whataboutisms of recording get exposed. Do you need great gear? What about amplifiers and EQs? Oh and those pesky sample rates, should I always be using the highest available one?!? Plus you might hear about Audiothing, Spotify, CJ Vanston, Jeff Scott Soto, Eric Valentine, Dave Pensado, and Sir George Martin. It’s also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discussed. To top it off, what are this week’s Friday Finds. It’s all in here.

Chris and Jody do a mini dive into the world of sample rates and what they mean. What exactly is a sample rate? Why we choose certain sample rates. Should you upsample after recording at a lower sample rate? A short history of how digital gear got better with sample rates over time. How did “they” arrive at their sample rates initially. Drawbacks of higher sample rates are discussed. Plus the ONE thing you shouldn’t do when recording in relation to sample rates. It’s all in here. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
Stick around and find out what Friday Finds Chris and Jody discovered this week that will be beneficial to your recording prowess.

This week Chris & Jody tackle the definition of what a Producer actual does and what a Mix engineer actually does. Going thru the “old school” means they were defined by. Of course we have the all important Friday Finds and there’s some real good ones this week. A big thank you for the listener who sent us a request to define these rolls in the world of music recording. It is not unlikely that some nonsense will also be discussed.

Chris and Jody ring in 2021 with talking about the elements that make up the anatomy of a synth. The pieces parts so to speak from a signal flow concept. Think of it as an overview of the beginning to understanding synthesis. They also kick off the year with their first Friday Find – what will it be? Plus learn what this week’s Goldstar word is – will you win? It is also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discuss as well.

Chris and Jody take on the mighty world of the Delay. Giving a broad overview the history, types, and uses. Think of it as a gentle swim in the shallow end of the pool of getting to know how delay came about, where’s it at, and whetting your appetite for future deep dives into specific delay units in the future. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed. ** The irony of it not posting at its original time is not lost on us. Imagine, an episode about delay that got delayed.
If you hang until the end you’ll find out the Goldstar word for the week, and also be privy to the Friday Finds of the week.
