  • Absolutely the Best!!!

    If you are a DIY musician or producer who wants to learn more about recording and mixing, this is absolutely the best podcast you could possibly listen to.

I still listen to back episodes because I didn’t find this podcast until last summer. Even though I am in the coaching program, I find these podcasts extremely v... more

For beginners there is a ton of great resources and foundational i... more

  • I simply love doing this and serving you through it! :) Thanks for listening!

    Rating my own podcast is kind of weird, yes. :) But at the same time, how can I recommend it to others, if I don’t love it myself? So here I am, telling you that meeting with my friend and co-host Malcom every week and helping our audience make better records is one of my absolute favourite things to do. Please leave us a review, too and reach out to us whenever you have a questions or ideas on how to make the show better. Thanks! Appreciate you all! Benedikt
