I'm co-hosting Inside Home Recording this week

Back in December I discovered a great podcast about home studio recording, co-hosted by Paul Garay and James Devon and called (logically enough) Inside Home Recording. A few weeks ago James interviewed me on the show.

It turns out that had been James's last episode, and when I cheekily suggested to Paul that maybe he needed a new co-host, nudge nudge, I was surprised that he replied that I should join him as guest host on a subsequent episode. That one, show #16, is available today in Enhanced AAC (MPEG-4 audio with pictures and links) or MP3 audio formats. If you like the show, you can subscribe at iTunes or using the RSS feed.

Paul and I talk a bit about our respective recording setups (we tracked our individual parts separately at our own homes, and then he combined them into the final show), read some listener mail, review auto-tuning and reverb plug-in software, and discuss my new MacBook (of course) and the merits and current disadvantages of the new Intel Mac computers from Apple. I also give some tips on how to get a decent drumkit sound from a single microphone, with a bit of cheating.

If you enjoy the show, let Paul know at comments@insidehomerecording.com or leave a comment at the website.
