Mixerman meets his assistant Lance, and attempts to pull tones with the drummer of the band, which proves to be a far more difficult task than usual. The producer calls in with some distressing information.

After Mixerman musters up the courage to ask Willy Show a very important question, he takes a moment to explain his strategies for getting Lance to the session on time, and Dumb Ass to the session late. We get more background information on the band and their marked disdain for one another.Episode Credits: CharactersWilly Show played by Ken Scott (Beatles, Supertramp, David Bowie)Dumb Ass played by Kenny Gioia (Marcy's Playground, Hall & Oates)Yore played by Dylan Dresdow (Usher, Black Eyed Peas, Nas) Narrated by MixermanProduced by Aardvark and Mixerman

You've probably heard of Eric Sarafin, aka Mixerman, but have you heard what he has to say about mastering ? As always it's entertaining, potentially controversial but also thought-provoking, so it seemed like a good idea to get him on the show and ask him to explain himself ! We talk about: * Why he thinks if you don't make money from your music, you shouldn't pay for mastering * Whether an online mastering service is actually a better option for a musician starting out (gasp) * Eric's favourite limiter, how he uses it and why * How loud he makes his mixes * Recent potentially game-changing developments... * And why they might make mastering engineers obsolete !

It’s a pleasure to welcome back Ethan Winer to Your Audio Solutions! Ethan is back to further bust audio myths that can help you save money and to not succumb to placebo effects in your studio or in your favourite listening position (e.i., audiophiles).This interview is partly a continuation of our previous and very popular interview which you can find here: Ethan Winer - Busting Audio Myths And Why Dave Pensado Was TrickedEthan Winer is well known in the audio industry with his many articles for major sound magazines as well as with his book The Audio Expert (Check it Here). Ethan has also been active at AES with, for example, his popular Audio Myths presentation (Check it Here).In this interview, we spoke about:- If you can tell the difference in the quality of converters by running them hot or clipping them- If recording in a higher sample-rate improves the antialiasing filtering in converters- If you need to “burn-in” your new speakers or headphones- How you can null-test plugins such as EQ’s in your daw and if it’s possible to null-test sample rates- Why the emotional impact of using, for example, different sample rates as suggested by Mixerman should not be included in scientific testing- If Paul McGowan from PS Audio is correct by saying that Ethan’s null-test is fallible- What Synergy is and if it, in fact, has an impact in audio- If you should worry about using 16bit over 24bit resolution for your recordingsAnd much moreOther resources mentioned in the interview:Monty Montgomery - D/A and A/DEthan’s Null Tester DemonstrationHow To Do A Proper Listening TestAll digital equalizers are the sameSound On Sound article: Do Expensive Mic Preamps Make A Difference?Don’t Sound Like Everyone Else.

My guest today is Eric Sarafin aka Mixerman, a gold and platinum award winning record producer and mixer. He has worked with many nationally known acts, including The Pharcyde, Tone Loc, Ben Harper, Lifehouse, Nine Days, Barenaked Ladies, Amy Grant, and Foreigner, just to name a few. After 25 years based out of Los Angeles, Eric is now living in Asheville NC, where he produces and mixes records out of several world class recording facilities located there. Eric is also a published author and has written several books under the pen name of Mixerman about recording, producing, and mixing. It all began with The Daily Adventures Of Mixerman chronicling his recording journey in the studio. He then went on to write Zen And The Art Of Recording, Producing, and Mixing as three separate books after that, which I highly recommend reading. And now he has come out with his most recent book presented as a field manual for the studio called: Musician’s Survival Guide To A Killer Record. Thanks to our sponsors!

My guest today is Ryan Earnhardt, a video creator and studio owner who produces a YouTube show called Creative Sound Lab. It covers recording-focused topics and out-of-the-box topics such as DIY effects. He recently built a Pooper Time Cube (A delay made from 4 inch drainage pipe) and created a reverb out of a garden hose. Creative Sound Lab stresses fundamental recording techniques and capturing real sounds such as using re-amping during mixing or using echo chambers for vocals - even if that chamber is your living room! Ryan has also partnered in teaching with Brian McTear of Weathervane Music and author Eric Sarafin aka “Mixerman”. Ryan started Creative Sound Lab in 2013 because he saw a need for something different than computer screen videos that mostly covered mixing topics. He currently has over 37,000 subscribers and hosts over a dozen online courses at Creative Sound Lab.tv Hear more on Youtube If you love the podcast then please Leave a review on iTunes here Want to learn more about mixing?
