hanging out with audiophiles

HI Guys This is a special one for me. Roger and his whole family have really made our time in Nashville something magical. As you'll hear, he's a warm and deeply knowledgable chap with SO many incredible stories from his journeys in the madcap world of music. From his raw garage band days, to the heady rushe of a major MAJOR studio job in New York in the 80s, to the trips around the world as a heavily in demand freelancer and now to his superb Nashville studio he's seen it all. Grab a quality beverage and sip down some of his wisdom. Having worked with everyone from Lou Reed to Grandmaster Flash. Yo la tengo to Pat Carney of the Black keys he never stops and we're talking about 1000s and 1000s of sessions at the controls. Such a wonderful person, a great Dad and Husband to our good friend Barbara (who you'll discover has exceptional ears and taste!) We are friends with the whole family coz they are all just ace. Hi Marshall! Hi Malcolm! YES!! It's a real privilege to call Roger a friend :) Meanwhile in techy bits I get my feet wet in the heady world of MIDI files. Take and remake for 2018! The bad thing about MIDI is it's pretty old and clunky.. the good thing is it's old and full of the fruits of people's hard toil. The amazing resource that is www.midiworld.com has changed it all for me. Grab some MIDI and mash it up! Made with love from Nashville Hello!

A Deep and Tech heavy dive into the Knowledge pool that is Darrell Thorp! He's a multi grammy kind of dude and yet there's no pretense. He has worked with some of the best in the biz like Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck, Outkast and more! yep. Mad audiophilatiousness hangs. We chat about his time with Dr Dre and all the red lights on the board. The good the bad n zee ugly in gear and signal. Foo fighters and a great deal more! I also nitty the gritty out of the Altec 9067b filter. The fabled King Tubby filter is now my grubbies and I throw some bits into it to hear how it sounds. ALSO I made a couple of patches for you ableton live users to check so you can get a taste of the altec in the digital domain! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7dzrttyja7o3yp8/AACoi5vvjFJhqPWUXtyg2cSFa?dl=0 follow the read me and you should be golden! I posted a quick vid of it on the hangingoutwithaudiophiles instagram to show it in action :) Cheers friends Jamie

Amazing times that we can find and talk to our heroes! Here's Susan Rogers and she's responsible for making the best prince records (imho) the BEST ones. I mean the VERY best ones. She was by his side and in the studio at all times.. day and night. The 4 year tour of duty was time well spent. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude. Without her energy, Prince would have not been able to create and share his ideas in the same way. I'd have Never heard the music in the same way over the Atlantic. I'm THRILLED to share this one with you all. She's a wonder! Thanks to Universal Audio once again for their kind support.. Let's get on with the show! Uptown!

YES! Money Mark is in the hot chair. Quite literally as Ahmed Gallab had only just finished our chat. 2017, Turin.. we delve into the many minds of Mark. The kind of mind that will take things apart and rebuild them. The kind of mind that is not content to settle. He's a very curious and unique fellow who's got WAY too many good stories for a solitary podcast but there you go.. this is PART 1!! I get gritty with a cheap contact mic and probe the strings of pianos and tenor guitars before destroying the signals with plugins.

He actually CREATES problems for himself along the way to be able to avoid the dull ways of normality. He shares backstory and explains WHY the low ways are as potent as the high ways!
