Very helpful

This podcast has really helped me get my head around some recording concepts that I only knew on a surface level. Their shows on the basics of microphones, compression, Eq, were fantastic. I recommend this podcast for anyone who has a general idea about how to record and mix but maybe really never delved into some of the hows and whys.
