Bottom Shelf Recording Talk

Episode 66 - "Much Smarter Than Me"

In this data driven episode, our heroes are surprised last minute by the chaotic mastering engineer, Glen Allen of Paradox Mastering. Together, they engage on a debate over MP3 conversion issues, mastering standards, data compression issues, and what radio does to broadcast audio. Joey and James each catch each other with incorrect information, and Glen chimes in sporadically. Oh, and cheap flashlights!

Episode 65 - "Most People Trust Me"

In this dreadfully late and unprepared episode, our heroes talk gear and the uses of gear and what gear hasn't yet been used for.  James shares stories of hiding booze in coffee cups, Joey complains about the homeless and how he wants gear to be cheaper, and they discuss the merits of REALLY unmatched overheads on drums.  The episode ends with a discussion about more gear Joey wants.  Sorry for being late everyone!

Episode 64 - Delirious Ending

In this delirious episode, our heroes welcome back Joey to his rightful place of silence in the corner! Joining the podcast is producer, songwriter, director, Byron J Ellis.  Byron shares stories of teenage bands, recording with Devin Townsend, losing his voice when it matters, writing/directing/producing his own film, and rediscovering his creative voice.

Episode 62 - Hands off the Brain

In this foggy episode, our heroes talk synthesizers, brain fog, and world war three. James muses about why he doesn't buy more local music, Joey explaina how he's becoming a junior tech, and some droning happens by random accident. Meanwhile,  Pepper the puppy naps on Joey's lap almost the entire episode.

Episode 61 - I Can Destroy the Spreadsheet

In this universal episode, our heroes are joined "on time" by Glen Allan for a challenged episode of universal destruction, pricing strategies, and students. James' forgets stories he wanted to tell, Joey talks about emails he gets involving forensic audio, and Glen is constantly reminded to STAY ON TARGET! Oh, and the guys geek out on a spreadsheet. 

Episode 60 - 12 over 10?

In this uselessly revised episode, our heroic coffee drinkers talk DAW revisions, clones of clones of revisions, electronic updates, the blue vs purple strip, and death by tube voltage.  Also, a mystery guest shows up with 10 minutes to go... 

Episode 59 - You're a Certified What?

In this delightful episode, our heroic lads chase rediculous testimonies of false information, stammer through stupifying simplifications of presumtuous principles, and divulge into diversive diatribes. They also talk a little about confusing emails, James gets a little heated about someone who's clearly wrong, and Joey tries to make sense of the mess.  

Episode 58 - Attack & Forget

In this darling episode, our heroes attack Radar Studio, 421's, and online bloggers/YouTubers.  James complains about students and tempo maps, Joey dismisses attack and release controls on compressors, and coffee is too far away to help with their focus.  This episode wanders… it really really really wanders.  

Episode 57 - Shut The Fuck Up About Your Hundred & Fifty Bucks

In this wordy episode, our champions of the english language engage over the Canadian Mob Family, the lack of clear answers in dealing with customers, and the general shiftiness of all rapper-kind.
