This was quite interesting.Good interview.
 
I'm glad nobody rambled on about how they play like a 4 year old.

Nice interview. I like the length of the shows you are doing, an hour or so lets you get to a nice depth without getting into the boring, rambling stage. There was some great snippets of information in this interview but I think I would have liked a bit more concrete stuff, like more real world examples. I thought Dave kind of got there with the Meldaproduction references. Maybe you don't want to come across as pushing a particular brand, but I would like to get an idea of what particular plugin someone is using, for what particular purpose. Maybe there just wasn't enough time to go into those specifics and this could be an idea for a future show. i.e. pick a particular type of plug and give 3 or 4 concrete examples discussing what their differences are and what material they would be best for.
Again, great work Tim, I am really enjoying what you are doing with this site. I agree with your thoughts on getting someone from Cakewalk on the show. It's almost impossible to find a site where the designers of DAW software can feely express their thoughts on what is happening within the industry or their particular products. I for one would love to hear from some of the Cakewalk engineers or gurus and have you discuss their take on music and music software.

Thanks Rebel for your your comments! I agree. I wanted to get a bit more involved in specifics. I plan to do just that in the near future.  I try to steer clear of any specific manufacturers unless I am covering only that product on the show. Pistolpete, Thanks!
Are you referring to my variax show? lol.
 
This show was supposed to cover compressors, but as you see it wandered somewhat and that was my fault. At some point I want to get into the specifics on the differences between mediocre compressors compared to really good ones. I think there are subtle differences "under the hood" and I think this applies to all plug-ins. They seem to share more similarities than differences,yet there are differences.We all have a favorite compressor...why is it a favorite? What does it do that the others don't? Is it more than simply ergonomics?
