Production Advice

People loved this when I posted it on Twitter, and I thought it was well worth putting it up here, too.

The Best Music Production/Recording/Home Studio Podcasts

Pete Waterman – on Simon Cowell, X-Factor and the music business

An incredible instrument, and an incredible performance

Now that’s what I CALL a cover verison – “Thriller” by Imogen Heap (Live)
