RSR369 – Bob Bullock – Saving Fleetwood Mac Rumours & Ruminating About Mixing Fleetly on a Mac

Keep those hi-hats locked young man! Bob talked about saving the master tapes for Fleetwood Mac Rumours as a young engineer, why accurate monitoring is so crucial for mixing, why you need more than one DAW, and how less is more on your mix bus.

My guest today is Bob Bullock a recording engineer, mixer, and producer whose credits can be found on over 50 gold and platinum albums. He loves to work with independent artists from around the world and does extensive teaching through multiple universities including Belmont University & The Art Institute in Nashville, TN, and Troy University in Montgomery, AL. Bob has been a guest on the podcast way back on episode RSR055 where he shared his story of starting out and working his way to Nashville.

Today we will catch up with Bob joining us from his home studio in Nashville to talk about his beautiful Phantom Focus Mixroom and how he mixes in the box with Pro Tools.

RSR368 – Chris Mara – Analog Tape, Tubes, and Tunes at Welcome To 1979

Analog is instant audio! Chris talked about how much acoustic guitar players love recording to analog, how to capture vocals and harmonies, ribbons vs condensers for drum overheads, recording an upright piano, and the annual recording summit.

My guest today is Chris Mara who says in his own words, “Well, basically... I'm the luckiest guy in the world. My "job" (I'm a recording engineer and producer) is to find cool artists & bands and help them make cool music. How frickin' awesome is that? I've been doing this music thing here in Nashville for over 20 years (since I was 19 years old), and it's the only real job I've ever had. I absolutely love helping people make music and also take a lot of time to help them make some wise career decisions too. There's a lot of bullshit. in the music biz, so I try to keep things really straightforward and simple for the people I come in contact with.

I really dig the art of getting artists comfortable and then capturing great performances in the studio. Although I use all types of technology to record, tend to gravitate to the "old school way of doing things and record on analog tape whenever I can. That's probably the reason I built my retro, all analog recording studio called "Welcome to 1979".

I also record in other studios all over the country, as well as in barns, cabins, old churches, hallways, highways, byways, parks, and garages....basically wherever people are making good music!”

Chris also runs a tape machine restoration company called Mara Machines and In early 2016, Mara launched a vinyl electroplating facility offering vinyl mastering and electroplating under the same roof to allow for the highest quality vinyl to be produced. And every November you can travel to Music City to attend the annual W21979 Recording Summit for panel discussions on all things studio.

Chris has been a guest on the show before RSR027 and later his wife and studio manager Yoli Mara joined us for episode RSR180.

RSR366 – Daniel Tashian – Winning Grammys And Writing Songs With Burt Bacharach

Like floating down a river toward new songs... Daniel talked about his creative process, how to capture a great idea for a song, why images and story are your sources for new songs, ambient music, and rushing slowly to the chorus with Burt Bacharach.

He also has a band called The Silver Seas with Jason Lehning (episode 74) in 1999 doing very well in the U.K. including a gig on the Jules Holland Show.

Just what I needed
September 11, 2019 by jonathan_day from United States
This podcast was like water in the desert. Once I found it, it turned out to be just what I needed. That was almost 2 years ago. I’ve learned a ton from this podcast. Lij asks the “dumb” questions which makes you feel not so dumb. So honest. So real. Keep it up!
great podcast
September 1, 2019 by Chat-Happy from United States
Always enjoy this one. Good guests with good insight on studio stuff of all kinds
Fantastic podcast!
August 26, 2019 by ??‍✈️?? from United States
Recording Studio Rockstars in an invaluable resource for those in the the audio engineer, recording, and music creation communities. If you are a student, hobbyist, or a seasoned professional you will gain valuable insight from the experience of Lij Shaw and his guests. Highly recommended! Charles H. Root, III Electric Owl Works, LLC
Warm tone across the spectrum
August 19, 2019 by Matt7_7 from Australia
Like any good podcast you can take this one anywhere with you and it's like having an old friend there. This is largely due to the host Lij's wonderful manner - warm and playful, and self-deprecating almost to a fault. Personality aside, it is clear that Lij possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge extending to all areas of sound, recording and production. He also has a wonderful range of guests on the show, so rather than just listen to engineer after engineer talk gear, you might one day hear an acoustician talking spaces, and the next a songwriter talking processes and giving practical tips. And of course there are a couple of engineers in the mix (excuse the pun). And what might at times seem highbrow and beyond the reach of many aspiring students of recording, Lij is able to condense into simple 'take-aways' - a credit to his broad understanding of all things sonic, but also to the needs of (some of) his audience. Thanks a lot Lij and keep up the great work!
TapeOp was in podcast form

This is a well made podcast! Excellent!
May 30, 2019 by Bob Barney from United States
I’ve listened to many podcasts, YouTube videos, whatever, on the subjects Lij covers, and these are extremely valuable. If you just listen, these folks plainly say really impactful clues and kinda “big picture” stuff right there on the show. Then there’s Lij’s questions / comments. Really awesome!
God I love this podcast
May 25, 2019 by Scott h Stevenson from Australia
See above ?
Simply amazing!
March 27, 2019 by MetalJethro from United Kingdom

Love this podcast. I learn something almost every episode and even when I don’t I’m still entertained.
Valuable Resource!
March 16, 2019 by lnxguit from United States
Lij Shaw’s show is educational and entertaining. I’ve learned a lot from him and his guests. It’s hard to believe these podcasts are free of charge!!
Awesome
March 9, 2019 by Jimbo21120 from United States
I love listening to this!
95% fun 95% info...
March 4, 2019 by Fruity2x! from United States
...I save the other 5% for sleep (see episode 181 for the joke) Honestly though this is a really great podcast not just for the info but Lij is a really cool dude. The times I’ve made a comment on Twitter or FB he has replied back and even poked me about a typo that still makes me laugh sometimes when I hear him joke around with his guests. The cool thing is he gets his guests to tell stories and you never know what coolness will come from it, hell sometimes I find out I’m doing things real producers and engineers do!!!
Great stuff

Really valuable conversations and insights, loving it.
Into the groove
February 15, 2019 by T. myradar P. from United States
Lig, I appreciate that you aren’t afraid to dig deep into the grooves and thoughts of your guests to find out what and why they do what they do and what makes it “work” for them. Very insightful. Even on a budget, it’s great to be able to apply methods used by Wessell, Charles Holloman, and every awesome guests to the tools available to to a DIY passionate music lover like myself. Even though my studio is my home, the results are amazing and can only improve. Appreciate you keeping it real! Keep up the good work!!
Good Stuff!
February 12, 2019 by drum u from United States
This has been a valuable tool to for me starting out in recording. It’s so helpful to hear real stories and tips from some of the industry’s top mixers.
Lij rocks
February 3, 2019 by AAU14 from United States
And so does this podcast!!
Always a good time
January 31, 2019 by L0123NZO from United States
So glad I stumbled upon RSR and this killer community. Lij is an expert conversationalist with a deep love for music and recording (and some incredible guests) - I love the honesty and accessibility of his work. Are you ready to rock???
Can't get enough!
January 24, 2019 by KatherX from United States
This is actually the 1st Podcast I'm reviewing (which says a lot) because it's THE BEST ONE FOR RECORDING/MIXING/MASTERING! I've been listening to Lij's Podcast for the past 6 mos or so and I'm hooked! I'm a drummer and have a jam band here in Denver, CO. I started recording my band on a handheld recorded about 6 years ago, moved to multitracking in Garageband and have been a Logic Pro X user for the past 3 or so years. Needless to say, I've caught the recording/mixing bug and my skills have been steadily improving thanks to all those that share their knowledge. Thanks for this Lij!!!
Good resource
January 8, 2019 by gsbe_com from United States
I enjoy this podcast and Lij’s style of interviewing is super laid back. The guests that I’ve listened to have all been interesting and I learned a few things. I’ll continue to listen and would recommend it to other audio nurds
4/5
December 17, 2018 by Shortyboyboy from United States
I am really enjoying this podcast, especially when the interviewees talk more about recording approaches / gear / studio tips. The only thing that gets me about this show is when the audience is referred to as “rock stars”. It makes me cringe - every time. Going back to referring to us as “listeners” would be a good move. I’m only being so blunt about this because i feel like it would greatly improve the quality of professionalism that I feel this show has the potential of gaining. Thanks for reading
Rockstars rockstars rockstars
November 25, 2018 by cyclopian from United States
Great conversations, great guests, invaluable tips and info about recording and production. But, please, Lij, could you stop calling us listeners *rockstars*? It’s not cool or ironic, it just comes off as dad-speak. Or, on the other hand, we could make a drinking game out of it...

Lij does a great job as an interviewer and really digs deep for interesting answers to real questions. Thx Lij .
Excellent podcast
October 27, 2018 by re@son from United States
Love it man! Wanted to share a tip. If you have an iPhone download the Documents App and link your Dropbox. That way you can listen to tracks and go between songs without having to do all the extra steps while driving.
No 1 on my playlist as it comes out !
October 5, 2018 by Royal Vasquez from United States
Lij does everything to try an cover all questions asked by most of us. A great compilation of amazing talented individuals telling incredible stories and teaching us great information. Thanks Lij!
Great learning resource!
October 3, 2018 by chicago audio engineer from United States
Such a great listen! Doesn’t matter if your a pro or a novice. Lij makes the interviews super interesting and asks great questions with great guests!
So real
September 7, 2018 by Klipf-ud-Jae from United States
I have been listening for years and want to leave this review to say thanks, Lij. I started to listen so I could make the tracks I record in my bedroom studio sound better. Your interviews open up whole new worlds, for people outside of professional music circles, and it's been great listening to your guests talk about their musical and professional journeys, as they share tips and techniques. I enjoy the format. The consistent range of questions posed to the diverse guests has illuminated the broad variety of ways to work and play in the studio. I've learned a lot, been inspired, and it's a "good hang." Keep it up!
Brilliant interviews
August 30, 2018 by ChristopherCf from Australia
This is the best site I have found for home studio information. Lij has the best guests and is a brilliant interviewer. Highly recommended that you subscribe if you have any interest in music recording at home or even in a large studio.

Life Changing
July 27, 2018 by wilcofann from United States
This show has given me so much clarity. Wow. If it weren’t for what I’ve learned listening to this show, who knows how many more years would have been wasted ignorant of how to create sound. It’s so nice to be able to listen rather than read about this stuff; it seems easier to listen, and maybe that’s all I’ve needed all along to finally be motivated to learn to mix. Thank you Lij Shaw!!
The real deal!! Insightful and entertaining.
July 26, 2018 by Aston Teague from United States
Lij (and his guests) provide such an invaluable and entertaining resources for us audiophiles. It’s like sitting in a room with friends nerding-out on topics that we’re passionate about. I look forward to my road trips now that I’ve found this podcast. Keep up the great work Lij! Another proud and inspired Recording Studio Rockstar!!

Awesome
July 18, 2018 by Jdhenckdk from United States
This guy rules! I’ve learned a lot already and can’t stop listening. Also love the flow of the conversations compared to others.
Great interview
July 16, 2018 by JohnnieSko from United States
Sometimes recording studios interviews discuss just technical aspects of the business. Even though those topics were discusses, I particularly enjoyed listening to more of the creative and interpersonal relationships that are indirectly involved when producing music. Loved the interview. Thanks!
A must for perspective from the industry.
June 19, 2018 by mrfurst from United States
Lots of great information with interesting interviews. Highly recommend.
Must listen!

Great podcast! RSR131 Mac Gayden
May 26, 2018 by Water&WoodsGuy from United States
Mac Gayden (Barefoot Jerry) is such an amazing human being! Deep, humble, very talented. I only knew the song "Barefootin' from the 70's and just checked out the album by the same name from 1977. Amazing playing! Amazing recording. I'm new to "Recording Studio Rockstars" and love the podcast. I have a bunch of episodes cued up and can't wait to hear more.
A great informative show
May 24, 2018 by vamvany from Australia
Only just found this podcast and would like to recommend it very highly as a great source of information and has a very knowledgeable presenter who also brings in great guests. If recording is your thing, this podcast id for you.

I love this podcast, Lij is a super likeable host with great guests from a wide range musical backgrounds. Keep it up Lij! You are doing great work here!
Addicted to this Podcast!
May 4, 2018 by Sobum from United States
The amount of information that is dropped in just one episode of this podcast can change how you approach production. Lij has a laidback conversational tone and is very inviting and kind to his guests and listeners, explaining things so that even a novice producer or engineer can grasp it. Highly recommend this pod to anyone interested in audio!
Grateful to have found this one!
May 2, 2018 by JerJacques from United States
This is an excellent show and I’m very grateful for the time and work that goes into the episodes. Keep ‘em coming!

Unique, Informative, and Fun
April 21, 2018 by DMcK12345 from United States
This podcast features a few people I've heard of, many I haven't, and every one of them has something to share that I learn from.
Can’t wait for Thursday/Friday
April 21, 2018 by Cooloo134 from United States
Lij has a phenomenal lineup of guests. Guests that I’m interested in and some I had no idea I was. The casual conversation is just a blast to listen to. Just enough geeking out, and the back bios are awesome. Lij’s seemingly repetitive format of canned questions might have appeared too formatted at first glance, but I look forward to hear the different responses to the same questions. (Might be cool to splice a montage of answers together!) Would love to see Lij get Mitch Easter and Dave Fridman on a podcast... can allways dream! Great show! Keep up the great work, casual conversation and commitment to help us get our learn on! Thanks Lij!
Woot!
April 4, 2018 by HappyJoshJosh from United States
By far one of the very best music production podcasts I’ve listened to. Keep them coming!
The Best Recording Pod Ever!
March 19, 2018 by spcgrs from United Kingdom
Seriously if there's a better recording related pod let me know I don't want to miss it, I love this show I discovered it about two months ago and have listened to about 30 episodes so far and have learned a ton and been thoroughly entertained through out, even when when it gets a bit nerdy I know info is seeping in that I might use later. Lij is easy to listen to and his upbeat presenting style keeps the guests and show on point. Really worth the time to listen can't recommend it enough. I feel my mixes have improved to from implementing some of the tips I've picked up. Thanks Lij you rock!
Relly great podcast

Graet podcast! I love the range of industry pro's Lij gets on this show. It really keeps things interesting. I like the focus and thoroughness in the explaination of audio concepts by both Lij and his guests. There is always great emphasis on source links which give the listener a chance to fully understand the topics discussed in podcast.
Great stuff

So Much. So Good. Amazing Interviews

Every time I finish an episode, challenged, invigorated and humbled by the comments and insights from individuals Lij interviews, he outdoes himself with the next episode. Keep bringing it, sir. This podcast rocks.
Incredible!
January 25, 2018 by Ricky Rockstar (Really) from United States
If you're into the music recording process at all, this show is worth the time. The guests are really top dogs and have vast knowledge AND stories that are just great to hear! These stories, and the knowledge could be lost if not passed on. Thanks Lij! Rock On Rockstars!
Great Podcast
January 24, 2018 by ddVibe from United States
I just started learning about audio about 6 months ago when I took an online course and also spent some time in a professional studio. My mentor at the studio encouraged me to check out this podcast, and it has been an amazing help for me to stay informed and inspired to keep working on my skills and knowledge and become a rockstar of the recording studio one day myself. I've listened to several similar podcasts as well, and this is by far my favorite - Lij's questions are on point and he is great at keeping the guest talking but interjecting when it is appropriate. Thanks Lij! Looking forward to future episodes as well as digging back into the older ones.

If you read TapeOp or just want to learn more about recording then you have to listen. Great interviews and tips to improve your recordings. Even if a guest doesn't work on the kind of music you typically record there is always something you can learn and apply.

This podcast has proven to be an absolutely invaluable resource. I am slowly filling up a notebook with ideas, websites, interesting people to look up, plugins to check out and all kinds of other amazing resources. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the production side of the music business. Thanks Lij, keep up the good work!
A Wealth of Information
September 27, 2017 by The sound palace from United States
I run a small studio and subscribe to a number of audio-based podcasts. Each serves an important role. I cam across Recording Studio Rockstars and was intrigued by the name. After listening to a current one I went back to the first one and listened to each on sequentially. Many had interviews with people I never previoulsy heard of or presented topics I was sure would not be relevant to my situation. Without exception I always took away new useful information and tips for some facet of the audio world. Lij has a natural way about him and tends to ask questions of his guests almost at the moment I was starting to ask myself. Great work, Lij. Keep it up! If you're ever in California, drop by and we'll have our own "Jam Session."
Lij is the man!

An Invaluable Recording Resource
April 23, 2017 by Trolleyvox from United States
An engaging, fact and story-filled podcast. Excellent, sometimes surprising recording tips and advice about everything from recording solutions and mistakes to time and money management to life lessons. I'll even throw in a request here for engineer/producer Brian Beattie to be a guest on the show.
Love the podcast!
April 16, 2017 by 157audio from United States
I just discovered your podcast this week and have loved it so far. You strike a good balance of the personal story, the equipment, and technique. I also LOVE the fact that you ask about mistakes people have made - not only is it a great learning experience but a reminder that everyone makes mistakes, no matter who they are. Keep up the great work!!

January 22, 2017 by Jordan N D from United States
Very impressed with this show. I am a professional recording engineer and music producer and I love listening to this show on my commute to work in the morning. Gives me new ideas and starts my day off with inspiration! I love that there’s someone out there portraying what the music industry is REALLY like…and not just touting gear and trying to sound smart all the time. Keep it up Lij!
Very informative and entertaining
January 17, 2017 by Hermanzaum from United States
Lij shines as a very laid back interviewer (a bit silly sometimes though - but it's all good fun!) that scoops a whole lot of info about the music creation and recording process from renowed professionals. Although I'm a hobbyist, I do find this podcast invaluable and greatly entertaining. Being very well recorded, I can understand every single word from Lij and his guests - which can be hard for non-English speaking individuals like me if recording is subpar. Thanks Lij for this great repository of information!
Pulled the fuse on my car radio!
January 14, 2017 by CaptShakey from United States
Wow- As a musician and recordest I just love Lij's show! Forget the car radio- I pop in my bluetooth earpiece and tune in to Recording Studio Rockstars all before I start the car! Fantastic! Educational and entertaining!
Tons 'o Fun!
January 14, 2017 by Prog Nosticator from United States
Lij's podcast brings lots of cool studio and recording folks onboard for super-cool discussions and great tips, recommendations and fun, useful anecdotes. A real must for folks who get off on studio stuff. Just the right amount of gear talk mixed in with stories and revealed personalities and a dose of reality that come with the studio life. Super awesome personality from host Lij Shaw brings this podcast into the stratosphere. Couldn't be happier with a podcase than I am with this one. Incredible content!
Love this Show

For someone that has been a musician and a lover of music since I was a small child this podcast is great. I've only dug into home recording in the last few years and the knowledge you can pick up on this show is killer.

I came across your podcast while listening while listening to Ian Shepherd interview you. I enjoyed the stories that you shares especially the hay bale studio. Any way I went over to check out your show and love it. The Harrison interview was awesome and insightful. As well as the weed whacking drummer. I look forward to listening to the rest of the shows.

Carl Tatz Interview
August 19, 2016 by Carl Tatz from United States
I am very impressed with Lij's level of professionalism and attention to detail in his great Recording Studio Rock Stars podcast series. It was frankly beyond my expectations.He really did his homework before he conducted the interview that prepared him to ask intelligent questions that enabled my answers to provide the most value to his large and growing audience. Lij is definately ready to rock and a rock star himself in my estimation.
Entertaining and incredibly insightful
August 5, 2016 by Frustrert Fønix from Norway
This podcast is by a seasoned audio engineer that really knows what he's talking about and conveys very articulately. Each episode features a different engineer to discuss technique, mixing, tracking, gear, even the business side of music production. And presenter Lij, is very humble and communicates well and interacts well with his guests. Even though the episodes are quite long they're jam-packed with tips and good advice. I learn a lot every episode! Thanks so much Lij!
Great podcast

This show is a fantstic listen with great guests, great inside stories and excellent recording info provided for the listeners. Highly recommended.
Down to Earth
July 30, 2016 by Mirage_66 from United States
I truly enjoy the down to earth interviews you have with your guests. Your questions are well thought out and designed to get the most from the guest. Thank you.
Life-changing podcast
July 26, 2016 by Wyrlwynd from United States
This sounds like an overstatement, but it's not. That's what this has been for me. Lij Shaw interviews people in the business of recording, mixing, mastering, production, songwriting and all things "recording studio". In addition to his own studio chops and experience, he has developed an excellent talent for interviewing the other pros, drawing out the classic tales of missteps, mayhem and meant-to-be happy accidents. Nostalgia, humor and minutiae pervade, but so do legitimate insider tips and tricks. Not all guests are created equal, but on the rare near-snoozers, I find myself listening more to Lij and cheering him on. Thanks to Lij and the different pros that he has exposed his listeners to, I have actually learned how to mix songs. I'm still learning, but suddenly finishing a long lost dream to release my own solo album is within my grasp. If you are interested in recording music, tune in to this podcast. Listen and learn. Lij rocks!
Love the show
July 23, 2016 by Mztzza from United States
I have heard every show and loved every one of them. It has given me an insight into the making of records and has made me a better mixer and musicians. Thank Lij.
Rockin'
July 16, 2016 by Matt Recio from United States
This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts for pro audio. Along with practical advice about techniques and gear, it's cool to get insight into the industry and craft. The sounds you know from the songs you know--all discussed by the people who made it happen. Rock on, Lij !
Awesome Show!

July 5, 2016 by Etil2 from United States
This podcast is awesome! Lyj's interview style is the right mix between respect for the interviewee and respect for his own knowledge to get great info. without letting egos into the conversation.
Thank you!
June 5, 2016 by SaveThePolarBears from United States
Hey, Lij. Thank you for everything you are doing. I listen to your podcast regularly at work and the depth of knowledge I am gaining from it has already paid off multiple times while recording. Hearing different techniques and ideas from all of those renowned engineers, producers and musicians (including you, of course) is unbelievably helpful. I am currently on the third installment of your Mix Master Bundle and that is also paying off immediately. I don't know why you decided to open up and share the way you do but I can tell you that it is extremely helpful and sincerely appreciated.
Totally rocks and inspires!

Great podcast!
April 4, 2016 by Ephedrine Dream from United States
Lij Shaw's Recording Studio Rockstars podcast has quickly become one of my favorite recording-related podcasts. Lij is a passionate and experienced studio owner and engineer, based in Nashville, setting him apart from the scores of turkeys focused primarily on driving site traffic, ad revenue, and subscriptions. The RSR interview with Vance Powell is one of the best ever; a must-listen!

Only podcast I make sure I listen to every week
January 29, 2016 by JWCouv from United States
I’ve struggled for years trying to record and mix my own music, but I’ve never gotten the results I’ve always wanted. It always felt like I was missing some piece of knowledge to really get the quality I wanted—Lij Shaw gave that to me. I’m now more knowledgeable about music production—but more importantly, I’m more excited about music, and it’s all thanks to this podcast.
Great podcast for anyone into audio recording and mixing
January 25, 2016 by Ezzviah from Netherlands
For me this is the best podcast for anyone into audio recording and mixing. It covers decades of recording history stories which are also translated into the digital era where we live in now.

Ian Shepherd interview sucked me in - I'm a fan now!
October 30, 2015 by tbritton33 from United States
The Ian Shepherd interview was my introduction to this fantastic podcast, and I will now be listening to every past show and all future ones. Lij Shaw is a tremendous interviewer and host and really keeps the interviews on track while still allowing for a breezy and conversational style with surprise meanderings into the unexpected (still keeping everything relevant!) I cannot recommend it highly enough. (And Ian Shepherd nails it, so definitely listen-in to that one, too!)

Like few other recording engineers, Lij actually takes the time to be thorough and to make sure both new students and seasoned professionals grasp the concepts he is teaching. This guy has more tricks in his bag than the great Houdini and the best part is that he's willing to share them with us. This is more than just a podcast, it's a Treasure Trove of invaluable information that has changed the way I engineer and brought me to new levels of thinking about my studio and what it actually means to be an engineer. Lij is most definitely part guru!

The fact that he is giving away his 25 years of knowledge as well as interviewing other incredibly knowledgeable engineers and producers is amazing...not to mention extremely generous. I highly recommend adding this show to your weekly podcast diet. Enjoy!!!

October 8, 2015 by nickdrum1234 from United States
Lij Shaw is talented, knowledgeable, passionate and knows how to talk about the studio in ways that non-professionals can understand. This isn’t his first Podcast, but this subject is one he knows extremely well. He stays busy in E. Nashville because he is a great human being, with great ears who knows how to listen and communicate, and delivers the highest quality musical product for his clients. He mastered my first ever solo release this May and it sounds incredible. This is a must listen for anyone interested in the recording studio and wants to learn how to improve their craft, whether it’s a songwriter, studio musician, or studio engineer.

I’m so pumped to discover this show! Lij’s caliber of guests and witty conversation give a lo-fi home recorder like me such great insight into the world of the true rockstars in the studio: the engineers. A must-listen if you want to up your studio knowledge and recording technique.
Love it!

Become a recording studio Rock Star
October 2, 2015 by Don Hutcheson from United States
I just listened to Lij Shaw’s interview with Joe Gilder of HomeStudioCorner.com. Lij interviews producers, engineers, studio owners and other professionals who share their insights and experiences to help home studio owners create the best recordings possible. He has a comfortable style and lets the guests easily and clearly share their illuminating stories. Bravo, Lij, wish you great success with this fine idea!
Just what I needed

These are great!

These podcasts cover a lot of great info! Hey are especially helpful to people just getting started in the recording industry and those who have been doing it professionally. Lij asks his guests questions all beginners ask at some point. My favorite question is, "if you were dropped into a random city, what recording equipment would you use, how would you find people to record, and how would you make ends meet while you do it." Keep them coming!
GOLDEN!!

A great podcast for both pros and beginners! Finally a show that explains what really goes on behind the scenes in the studio. As someone who is just getting into the audio world, this is the perfect podcast. Keep on keeping’ on Lij!!
Genuine, entertaining insight into the recording process
September 26, 2015 by RapperBC from United States
I'm loving what I'm hearing here! Finally! A killer podcast that delivers great interviews with experienced studio professionals, relating their stories of hard-won studio success, frustration, failure, hilarity and everything in-between… hence the name "Recording Studio Rock Stars". Cool, colorful, informative and fun. Covers the artistic and technical aspects of recording with equal poise and skill. Perhaps its greatest strength is the balance between the artistic methods and vagaries of the studio and the technical details that make studios work day-to-day. If you're interested in how studios work– or are a professional yourself, and just love hearing great studio stories– you should definitely have a listen!
Really enjoyable
September 25, 2015 by Björgvin Benediktsson from United States
I’m a huge audio nerd and love hearing about other methods by engineers and producers so this is a great show to listen to. Vance Powell’s episode was especially entertaining and I enjoyed his enthusiasm and tenacity to becoming the engineer/producer that he is today.
The REAL thing!!
September 24, 2015 by Marky Mark Moneystacks from United States
Wow! I am a professional recording engineer & music producer and if you want to hear about how things REALLY happen in the recording studio to make the music you listen to, this is the podcast! Hard to believe who Lij has on this show. Google his guests and see. Lucky us!! Can't wait for the next episode!
Slapshot!
