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

If you think you put loads of effort into your recording and mixing – watch this, and think again ! Brings new meaning to the phrase “playing the studio”. No extra commentary is needed from me, I don’t want to spoil the fun – enjoy.

Time for another round-up of some of the coolest audio and music links that I’ve found recently, taken from the Production Advice Tumblr blog. I also post all of these on Twitter, so if you’re not already following me as @prodAdvice, feel free !

The Best Music Production/Recording/Home Studio Podcasts

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

I love this – Pete simultaneously says he likes and admires Simon, but also gets some wicked jibes in along the way

The Hang Drum

An incredible instrument, and an incredible performance

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

Free RTAS plugin pack by Blue Cat

Mac & PC compatible, also available as VST, DirectX, AU

A fantastic, immersive audio demonstration of binaural recording techniques

(Outside the UK you may need to use something like Hotspot Shield to be able to view this)

I’ve mentioned the Production Advice Tumblr blog before, but most of the hits are still coming from links I post on Twitter – which means that lots of you are missing out on all the cool stuff I put there !

So I’ve decided to start posting weekly summaries of the best links, videos and articles from the Tumblr blog, and this is the first. So, without further ado, here are some of the coolest posts from recent weeks:

Spectral Management – or, Ways To Think About EQ and Mixing

Synth lovers, prepare to be very, VERY jealous – Moby’s Home Studio

Off-topic – David Byrne interviews himself, from the DVD extras of Stop Making Sense

Julian Treasure: The 4 ways sound affects us (TED)

Lefsetz on ‘The Spotify Guys’ (He says talking to them he was riveted – it was “Better than meeting Bob Dylan”)

Bandcamp, Soundcloud And The Portability Of Music by Steve Lawson

Mastering: The Movie This movie in no way represents the opinions or views of Production Advice or Ian Shepherd. It’s pretty zarking funny though !

Enjoy…
