Kundenrezensionen
Matt earns a Grammy for this podcast!
So so valuable! Matt should be awarded a Grammy for what he has done for our industry!
how does he do it ?
Matt Boudreau is a self-employed professional audio engineer and producer. One of the themes in his a-many interviews with other pros, from up-and-coming to legends, is : it's tough to make a living of it. Still, there's a new episode most every week. For that alone he deserves kudos. Plus, the non-bulls%&t, no-fancy atmosphere.
Not too instructional (there's tons of how-to on youtube and other podcasts aiming at that), rather tales and experiences from real life careers in audio. Noteworthy and entertaining.
Sidenote: I wish some of the phone interviews are ok soundwise, but on some of the episodes where the guests are being interviewed via skype, the sound isn't better but sometimes worse! Careful when listening on earbuds. We got to watch our ears, you know.
