Its been a long couple months of preparing to start a new job (which I am oh so very excited about) plus enduring the Cumulus move in Dallas, in my current job. So, after taking a little time away from talking to the paramount figures in Radio Imaging and Voiceover I am back with a really fun interview. Matt Fisher at BBC-Radio 1 in the UK is the guest. He is actually one of 6 different...

For Matt I posted all the audio he sent me. The DEMO file is long and has some duplication so you may want to hear the others first.

I am proud to have the duo of Mike Crank and Trevor Shand at CBS Radio, Los Angeles on the show. They are responsible for Jack FM and KROQ respectively but have a very open structure to collaborate creatively. You will hear plenty of audio, old and new, and get the inside scoop on their new book, Braindead Creative Help. There are other books written about production of music and even audio...

Kelly3 posted this on FB and CC posted it on their website so I will help them find the best possible person by posting it here.
It has to be one of the more awesome Imaging gigs to come open in a while. I won’t speculate as to what EXACTLY the producer would be doing but you would be working with one of the most creative groups and for some of the biggest stations in America. ...

Headshot of Rick Allen
Rick Allen has been oft requested and now finally a guest on the show. In fact if it weren’t for a lost email a couple years ago he would have already been a guest. Technology! This was a really fun and informative interview for me. I love waxing on the past and to do so with a guy like Rick was a unique experience. This episode comes in 3 parts and each...

Another look at the gun shot session set-up
In Part 2 with Rick Allen I take things in to the present talking more about the current landscape of modern radio and production. I tried to play a little devils advocate as to why we shouldn’t just expect people to produce 7 stations in one radio group with ZERO time to create and Rick gives plenty of reasons why this is bad practice. We...

Rick standing in one of the culverts.
This is the final part of the Rick Allen interview. We talked about so much and also realized….we talked about SO MUCH! So we did end up bringing the episode to a conclusion.
Mainly I took things a little deeper into the technical world speaking very specifically about the tools he uses and some of his signature tricks.
I hope to speak with Rick...

Fame-FX is available to the public! I was lucky enough to grab an advance of the whole package and have already produced a new start-up. In a word – it “sizzles.” I really love the combination of quality and punch in Fame-FX. Nothing is too over-the-top but nothing is a throw-away or filler. The beds are also something to take note of. They have given us what will...

Just wanted to post some recent stuff I did. I have been imaging 97-7 The Wolf in Utah (Mid-Utah Radio). Earl Mann is the voice and he can be damn fun to work with. This demo is by no means a full composite of what he can do or what the station is ALL about. This is just an example of the average batch of stuff we get. This is about 3/4 of what was done for March. Earl records in a...

So, I get an email about a new FX package that a couple guys I really respect are releasing. I am intrigued. I did a quick interview with them and they turned it into a video. (I was in my studio on a mic. They were on camera)

So here we go! It’s called Fame-FX. The guys from Soundquadrat, Andy and Oli, have put together a brand new product. Their work is solid and...
