In this edition Julian and Ashea are joined by Luke Goddard and Paul Maunder, where they discuss tried and tested production rules and ask, does anyone care about that anymore and if so, why?

Talking Points:

Being in the room with the artist/client, is it still necessary? Does it even matter?
Have listeners' ears become accustomed to things like Auto tune, heavy compression, would anyone care if we stopped doing these things?
Loudness Wars- does anyone care anymore?
Mix Assistants E.g EZ mix, is it cheating?

Finds of the week:

Julian:Using what you already have in the studio (Carbon story, Caldigit Ethernet, audio key on piano)
Ashea: Audio Ease- Speakerphone 3
Paul: BlackMagic UltraStudio Recorder
Luke: Leaf Audio

As we went through the Q&A time and the session drew to a close one of them said; “What we really want is for you to do this for us!” They weren’t joking, they all knew how important marketing is, but all hate the thought of doing it.

If that’s you, then here’s my attempt at helping those of you who want to get ahead in audio when you hate the thought of marketing."
