Sheridan Haskell had some problems with his audio, so the quality is not up-to-par. Sorry about that. We should have everything figured out audio-wise by next episode.
Great show! Sheridan told me about it. I especially enjoyed the talk on mics & compressors. Keep up the good work! I’ll be Bach!
Hey, great show guys! Sheridan sent me a link to this podcast. I loved how you all broke down audio recording and mixing in relative terms I can understand.
I specialize in Visual Communications. So it’s nice to learn more about Audio Communications! You have an awesome site here! Great work! Count me in as a regular listener!

I really love the fact that the episode that we ended up having the most amount of audio trouble on was the audio episode.
