As a special side note from the show, Inside Home Recording is a Website/Podcast I just found that I wish I had found about three months ago. I’ve only had the opportunity to skim it, but it looks to be full of great information for anyone doing recording at home, whether it’s music or a podcast, take a look, I know I will.
