We have a pretty exciting show this week! I had a great group of audio bloggers, podcasters, and YouTubers staying as guests at my studio, The Toy Box Studio. We threw together a live YouTube webinar where we had a Rockstar's Roundtable and gave our 10 best takes of Summer NAMM 2017. Join Dane Myers, Chris Graham, Pete Woj, Warren Huart, Chris Selim, Joe Gilder, Brian Hood, Glenn Fricker, and I as we tell stories about the Summer National Association of Music Merchants 2017!

Lij Shaw and friends go to Summer NAMM 2017 Nashville TN to learn what's new.

Join me and my friends as I head off to Summer NAMM 2017 in Nashville TN. This is the National Association of Music Merchants and a great opportunity to learn about the newest instruments, amps, hardware and software in the music industry. This year I was fortunate to host a large group of guest audio bloggers, Youtubers, podcasters, producers, and mastering engineers at my studio, The Toy Box Studio. I also got a chance to interview Matt McGlynn from Roswell Pro Audio microphones, and ask some fun questions of random conference goers.

Will Pugh talks about vocal production, recording in small spaces, and mix tricks that helped him reach the Top 40.

Will Pugh is the main songwriter in the Gold selling band, Cartel. Will is also a producer, mixer, artist, and is a friend of our previous guest Bobby Holland, with a room at the same studio, Pentavarit.

Will's records with Cartel have sold over half a million copies and he’s notched two Top 40 hits under his belt. I am psyched to be joining Will in his studio for this interview, and plan to get into some great questions about producing, recording, and mixing a top 40 hit.

My guest today is someone who has been suggested by more of my guests than any other producer or engineer. At nearly 100 episodes into the podcast I am thrilled to have Richard Dodd on the show today, a multi platinum Grammy winning producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer with 40 years of amazing credits to his discography.

Richard began recording hits in the 1970’s like “Kung Fu Fighting,” and has since distinguished himself many times over while working with artists Boz Scaggs, Stephane Grappelli, George Harrison, Clannad, Roy Orbison, Wilco, Green Day, Steve Earle, Delbert McClinton, Robert Plant, Roger Daltry, the Travelling Wilburys, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Freddie Mercury, Placido Domingo, and many more.

In 1995 he won the Best Engineer Grammy Award for Tom Petty's "Wildflowers", best Blues Album in 2001 for “Nothing Personal” by Delbert McClinton, and multiple Grammys in 2007 for the Dixie Chicks "Taking the Long Way". While in the Country market, Richard has Mastered all of Jason Aldean's Platinum albums plus all 13 of Jason's # 1 Hit singles.

Hear Kyle Lehning unfold his production techniques when working with Randy Travis.

Kyle Lehning is a self admittedly lucky guy who started recording at 17, and is now closing in on 40 plus years as a professional in the art and business of making music.

He has worked with artists as diverse as Little Richard and Chuck Berry to Waylon Jennings and George Jones. He also had the extraordinary opportunity, from 1992 to 1998, to head up Asylum Records under the Chairmanship of Bob Krasnow .

Kyle continues to produce, engineer, and mix for a wide variety of artists including, Ray Price, Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Lynda Carter, Jimmy Webb, Johnny Mathis, and Ronnie Milsap to name a few.

He is also a musician and continues to play jazz with The Leonard Small Situation, often sitting in on keyboards with ‘Lectric Mullet' at the Sand Shaker in Pensacola.
