  • Infantile

    Love these guys for their wealth of useful knowledge. So disappointed that they don’t even try to hide their vitriolic hatred of people who have a different political persuasion to them. I’d threaten a boycott only I’m quite capable of gleaning useful information from someone who isn’t conservative like me. Grow up guys. Or at least leave your infantile political commentary for your other podcasts.

    Ugh! I too don’t like to think about how many things I’ve k... more

The Death of Spotify and Music Streaming?
Q: What is URM Academy and how did it start?
URM Academy is a leading online school for rock and metal producers founded by Eyal Levi and two partners to fill the gap in formal education for metal production. It began because traditional programs didn't adequately teach metal production, and the founders wanted to democratize high-quality instruction for a new generation of producers who were recording at home.
