The Ultimate audio podcast

You want to know everything in the musicbuisiness. Start listening to this podcast and you will have it all !!

Andre Six ,

Best audio learning machine available

URM podcast has been my go to for the past year of commuting, I don’t miss one single episode. A lot of useful knowledge about anything related to audio production/band life, mostly in the heavier genres. Plus they have some funny ranting and most of all GREAT guests. And it keeps on getting better. Go for it.
