It was a real pleasure to sit down with Carl Bahner and know more about what it is that makes him so damn inspiring. Carl mixes/works on around 30 songs a month. Read that last line again...and he works with artists all over the world remotely, from his home in Lancaster, PA.   Thanks Carl for taking the time to talk to me. I think we need a Part 2.

Episode 8 of the CATR Podcast welcomes Joey Bradford of The Used. Joey's out look on music and the guitar is nothing short of inspiring. He talks about his balance between the real tube guitar amp world and the overwhelmingly convincing sounds you can achieve from the digital side of things!...Speaking of which, be sure to check out Joey's STL ToneHub pack to hear his favorite 'go to' sounds that'll fit all genres. It was awesome hearing his progression from the early days of figuring out how to use a collectively owned (by multiple bands) digital recorder to now mixing and producing in his very own private and commercial space, the Vibeatorium.

Ep. 7 of the Can't Afford To Record podcast is with LA based producer Fred Archambault. It's fair to say Fred has worn a lot of hats when it comes to working with bands in the recording studio, and with his experience ranging from the early days of being a guitar tech to being heavily involved with records like Waking The Fallen by Avenged Sevenfold, Fred's stories and perspectives will be helpful for anyone looking to improve their audio game.

The CATR Podcast's guest today is Ben 'Faz' Farestvedt. Faz and I have known each other for a number of years now being that we are from the same home town of Bedford, UK. Faz is very talented audio engineer, mixer, producer and a mean bass player. His productions have achieved great success on mainstream international radio and TV and it's clear to see why so many artists and bands want to work with him. A straight up great guy with a wealth of knowledge. You'll have plenty to take away on Episode 6...

Mike is also the drummer in Psychobilly band, Tiger Army and we get to hear a little about that gig too ;-)  Don't forget you can listen to the podcast version of the conversation over Spotify or wherever else you access your podcasts 😎

Today, on the 'Can't Afford To Record' Podcast we have Acey Slade taking the reins! Acey Slade is of course responsible for guitar and bass duties in Dope, Murderdolls, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and his own projects such as Trashlight Vision and Acey Slade & The Dark Party.

Very thankful to have the time to ask Acey about studio experiences as a producer, finding out what his 'go to' standard is as far as a studio album 'sound' is concerned and why it's important to always think about your album artwork ;-)

Check out the video version of this conversation!

To say Thomas Blug knows a little bit about the audio world is big understatement. Thomas is the brains behind BluGuitar as well as a producer of his own music, and I could not have been anymore excited to talk to him. Make sure you're comfortable for this one because honestly, you won't want to miss even a second!
