Pro Audio Tips: How to Use Pan Laws for Better Mixing
Pan laws: the thing you didn’t know you needed to care about—until your mix went sideways. Chris & Jody tackle the mystery with their usual mix of clarity, sarcasm, and nonsense. Why do pan laws even exist? Do they matter? (Spoiler: yes, sometimes.) You’ll hear the breakdown of different pan law settings, when to use them, and how not to let them wreck your carefully crafted balance. Expect laughs, nerdy insights, and a couple of “aha” moments you can actually use. Oh, and don’t miss the Friday Finds, because who doesn’t love new excuses to add more hidden features in studio gearto their setup?

Do You Really Need More Home Studio Gear? The Truth About Gear Hoarding
Confession time: do you really need that sixth compressor plugin? Chris & Jody put the spotlight on our gear-hoarding tendencies and ask the hard questions—like why your “backup” guitar has three backups of its own. From shiny new plugins to “hidden features in studio gear” you forgot you owned, this episode digs into the obsession that drives us to collect, collect, and collect some more. Does it make your mixes better? Maybe. Does it make your wallet lighter? Definitely. Add in some laughs, some truth bombs, and a bit of nonsense, and you’ve got a brutally honest look at why too much gear can sometimes mean too little music.
