![]() ![]() In addition to his own studio chops and experience, he has developed an excellent talent for interviewing the other pros, drawing out the classic tales of missteps, mayhem and meant-to-be happy accidents. Lij Shaw interviews people in the business of recording, mixing, mastering, production, songwriting and all things "recording studio". This sounds like an overstatement, but it's not. Thanks a lot Lij and keep up the great work! And what might at times seem highbrow and beyond the reach of many aspiring students of recording, Lij is able to condense into simple 'take-aways' - a credit to his broad understanding of all things sonic, but also to the needs of (some of) his audience. And of course there are a couple of engineers in the mix (excuse the pun). He also has a wonderful range of guests on the show, so rather than just listen to engineer after engineer talk gear, you might one day hear an acoustician talking spaces, and the next a songwriter talking processes and giving practical tips. Personality aside, it is clear that Lij possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge extending to all areas of sound, recording and production. ![]() This is largely due to the host Lij's wonderful manner - warm and playful, and self-deprecating almost to a fault. Like any good podcast you can take this one anywhere with you and it's like having an old friend there.

He was really fired up about a plugin he was trying out, Fab Filter Pro-Q 2. ![]() I got a call from my friend Chad Brown recently who was mixing a record for the Zuni Mountain Boys. But when those don’t do what you need grab yourself an eq. The first tools you should always reach for are the mute button, and the fader. You might need to fix something that just didn’t quite work well enough during the recording stage, or reshape the timbre of a sound, or want to fit all the elements of a mix together to make it great. It sounds like a super hero name because it is! One of the tools that you simply must have for mixing has been around since the earliest days of recording. ![]()
