loving it! I love it when you guys team up. great post!
It leaves us with the question:
are you mixing to fix something crappy or are you mixing to enhance something that’s already great?
get it right at source! This is about home recording not just home mixing.
Yup. Mixes are only as good as the tracks…kind of.
This is great guys… any plans for an RSS to iTunes?
Yep. It’s submitted to iTunes. Just waiting for them to approve and put it in the iTunes Store.
Great info! Thanks to both of you. I have just completed producing a project for a brother and your sites helped me a lot. I look forward to hearing more!
Best of luck with the new podcast.
You should have your links open in a new window, Graham so the podcast isn’t stopped!
Good idea, Steve. Thanks.
Awesome guys! Keep up the good work.

Al! You and I go way back. Didn’t I sell you a Zoom H2 at Sweetwater years ago?
Hey, great show! Do you guys have an option to get an RSS feed of this page? I can’t seem to find one, and I love me some updated recording podcasts.
You can just copy the site URL to your RSS reader and it should grab the feed for you.
You guys are so creative! May God make you fruitful!
really enjoyed this first episode please keep it coming. i’m fairly new to recording just starting to understand it properly after having messed around on garageband for a few years. i was one of the many that thought mixing was the answer to anything so thanks for you’re first episode for starting me of in good habits.
Awesome. Thanks Max!
Hi guys. I’m already expecting the next podcast!
I believe that you are doing amazing things for the home-recording scene.
I don’t know if this is the right place for suggestions, but there’s one thing that I haven’t been able to find a lot of info about: -Synths and phase issues.
As I use a lot of synths on my songs, it’s very easy to end up with a great sounding mix in the headphones, but not so great on my car.
I think of a car environment as a halfway between stereo and mono: we do have stereo sound, but we have a lot of speakers on the same (small) acoustic space and frequently facing each other (here’s the “mono” part of the question).
So, how do you handle this problem?
Keep up the great work!
Cheers.
Hey Rogerio. I know this doesn’t really answer your question, but a great mix will sound great anywhere. In your car, on a laptop, on a PA system, on earbuds.
We all struggle to get our mixes to translate. It starts with your room and your ears. Train your ears to know what a good mix sounds like in YOUR studio (use reference mixes if you need to). Then, once you’re getting good mixes in your studio, they’ll sound good in your car.
Hey,
For those of that do not use iTunes, will you make a feed available so that our podcatchers will download your podcasts automagically?
Thanks.
Hey Dave, I think this is it:
