First of all, let&#8217;s get this out of the way &#8211; yes, I watch X Factor. Even though I&#8217;m always banging on about authenticity, about being natural, unconventional and genuine &#8211; I&#8217;m a regular viewer.
Why ?
Mostly because I&#8217;m a parent of two highly active little boys, and at the end of a long, [...]]]></description>

People loved this when I posted it on Twitter, and I thought it was well worth putting it up here, too.
If you think you put loads of effort into your recording and mixing &#8211; watch this, and think again ! Brings new meaning to the phrase &#8220;playing the studio&#8221;. No extra commentary is [...]]]></description>

This is an enjoyable short film about the making of Amon Tobin&#8217;s excellent Foley Room &#8211; a great album which you may already know about. If not, I strongly recommend it.
I talk a lot about classic albums, recording live instruments and ¨real, natural sound¨ on Production Advice, mainly because in this time of [...]]]></description>

I have so much work to do at the moment I really shouldn&#8217;t be blogging, but this is just too good not to share.

- or: Read Bobby Owsinski&#8217;s Blog !
I can&#8217;t take any credit or thanks for finding this video &#8211; it&#8217;s lifted straight from a series of posts on  Bobby Owsinski&#8217;s blog, featuring isolated instruments and vocals from a fascinating range of artists, each with some interesting comments.

I quit my job yesterday.
It&#8217;s a big deal for me &#8211; I&#8217;ve worked at SRT for over fifteen years now, so I hope you&#8217;ll forgive me if this turns out to be a slightly self-indulgent, sentimental post !
Working at SRT was my first &#8220;proper&#8221; music industry job. I didn&#8217;t even know it was [...]]]></description>

There are plenty of moments to enjoy in this video with veteran mastering engineer Howie Weinberg &#8211; not least, proof that mastering engineers really do have a sense of humour !
I want to pick up on just one thing he says almost in passing though, and amplify it. People are always asking &#8220;What is [...]]]></description>

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ?
I&#8217;m not going to shout about it.
Even though that was the whole idea &#8211; to be honest, I&#8217;ve been SHOUTING non-stop since midday yesterday, and I&#8217;m getting a bit of a headache. (&#8220;Shouting&#8221; on the internet means typing in ALL CAPS)
When I suggested this gimmick for Dynamic Range Day, I had [...]]]></description>

&#8230;Wow.
I hoped it really was a good idea, but I never expected this kind of response.
I announced the idea of Dynamic Range Day almost exactly one month ago now, inspired by Derek Siver&#8217;s thoughts on starting a movement and Seth Godin&#8217;s suggestion to Declare A Holiday to publicise issues we care about.
Now, we have over [...]]]></description>
