If you listen to our podcast you’ll know that a few weeks ago the topic was “The Best Albums Of The Decade”. Jesse, Ryan and I all shared our favorite albums from 2000-2009. I thought it was a topic worth repeating.
Here is my list:
Queens of the stone age – Songs for the deaf[02]
65daysofstatic – the destruction of small ideas[07]
Alexisonfire – Crisis [07]
Long Distance Calling – Satellite Bay [07]
Killswitch Engage – The End Of Heartache [04]
Marilyn Manson – Holy Wood [00]
Dub Trio – New Heavy [06]
HIM – Love Metal [03]
Junius – Junius [07]
Karnivool – Sound Awake [09]
Katatonia – The Great Cold Distance [06]
A Perfect Circle – Mer De Noms [00]
Please everyone take the time to listen and if you enjoy it spread the word to anyone that might be interested as well. Thanks!
This is the 1st Annual Roundtable Discussion of the Audio Recording Podcast Community. This show includes Ryan Canestro, Jon Tidey, and Jesse Zoller, Ronan Chris Murphy, Dave Chick, Slau, and Big Al Wagner. This is a long show, but certainly worth the listen. Where else are you going to hear all of your favorite podcasters together in one place?!
Those jerks started without me but I still had a great time and I can’t wait for next year to do it again. Thanks to Ryan for organizing it, writing the music and putting it all together.
Here’s a roundup of the good recording and music production podcasts that I listen to regularly.
The Home Recording Show – A great weekly podcast. OK so I’m a bit biased on this one, I co-host the show, but it really is good. Hosted by 3 independent recording engineers covering wide range of topics for home and professional recordists.
Sessions With Slau - I love this one. “Slau takes you behind the scenes at BeSharp, a recording studio in New York City. Listen to excerpts from sessions, gear reviews and equipment shootouts.”
Ronan’s Recording Show – A video podcast with Ronan Chris Murphy. “Recording and Pro Audio: Behind the Scenes Interviews, Recording Studio Tours and Music Production Tips. Hosted by Producer Ronan Chris Murphy”
Inside Home Recording – Podcasting since 2005, IHR is the longest running series on home and project studio recording. Hosted by Dave Chick and Derek K. Miller.
Project Studio Network – PSN was one of my favorites monthly podcast, they post very infrequently these days but when they do it’s one of the best there is. Sessions With Slau started off as an occasional feature on PSN.
EM Cast – This podcast is produced by Electronic Musician magazine and features interviews with some big names in the recording industry.
Shure Cast – Produced to promote Shure Microphones but there is also a lot of great info in each episode.
I subscribe to all of these via RSS feeds but you should be able to find them all on iTunes too.
I hope I didn’t leave anyone out!

There’s not really any point to this, there’s no moral to the story and no quiz. However, I will say I think any one of these sounds is better than what I can get with plugins.
The hard part about recording a distorted bass is that often you have no reference of what it will sound like with the rest of the instruments. Committing to a distorted bass sound early can bite you in the ass when it comes time to mix. For that reason alone, it’s a good idea to record a clean DI along with it.
If you save the distortion for when you are mixing, you can reamp through a distortion pedal.
