[DAUBERMIN]

Thumbsup

[SoulSafeDaveO]

As an audio student.. I appreciate this show sooo much. Many of the school instructors forget to give us the type of vital info on a psychological level that we need.

[joshspoon]

Watching this interview makes me feel so so dumb

[wholearmorrecordings]

I miss the fact that you don't say YEAAA anymore. Also they fact that you don't say "Back to you Dave" :)

[Skip2this22]

Great show, inspiration through the roof. Thanks for another episode Dave!

[LareOnTheSnare]

ann is a G. great episode.

[NotImune]

...I miss the "yeah!" ;-P great show btw!

[ltdknwldg]

Great Show! Ann is so inspiring!

[MrArthurStone]

Yeah - great show guys!

[processrebel]

Ann is so cool. Absolutely my fave Batter's Box!

[TranscendingMusic]

Synths - 200 K.

200 K?! :-o

[finsoto]

@TranscendingMusic Well next time you EQing a bass Synth , try 200hz and or 2000kh

and see if that works as she probably meant. I don't we can hear 200,000kh.

[TranscendingMusic]

@finsoto yup, I was just pointing out the obvious error :-)

[yuvalishes]

Great show! It's good to see a female engineer with so much talent and knowledge. Awesome!

[joshspoon]

I'm trying to watch this episode on Youtube on Xbox. But it doesn't come up. Do you have content restrictions on it. I'd really like to see Dave in my living room.

[BayanTheOne]

@joshspoon

invite him to come over )))))))

[joshspoon]

@BayanTheOne that would be nice.

[joshspoon]

@joshspoon so to easily get to it cause the search on the Youtube for xbox sucks. I'm making a personal playlist of the new show and it shows in my home page for the Youtube for xbox. Problem solved for now.

[trv503]

Great episode guys!!! I must say that Ann is another reason why I love Alicia's music. I live in NYC and will love to visit Ann's studio for a tour and would love to meet her.

[blaxe6344]

Hey guys love the show, Ann is great. I learn so much on this show and it helps me out a lot when applying it to my sessions. I just started work with a live band on the road and looking forward to more episodes! Thanks Dave

[moretimeproductions]

Great Show, its getting better and better every single time :)

[finsoto]

oh yea, before I write i have a tone of voice which is not absolute, before i record it or when i warm up, I sing/rap in a chromatic tuner so i can memorize the pitch, it helps after the 30th take and I forget my ways. :P

[finsoto]

she's so smexy!

[ThePhilip888]

Most honest PP interview to date.  Thanks Ann.

[MrArmen1157]

awesome show please keep making more

[TheLabWeMakeRecords]

u guys always entertain :) i know u also take comments from your viewers to heart, im hoping you get to read mine. It seems that Dave takes about 10 minutes in the beginning talking about the guest, introducing the guest, complementing the guest. I feel this technique can be removed from the show as we, the viewers are capable of looking up and learning about the guest in our own time. It would, in my opinion, be time better spend letting the guest talk more.

[playingfieldstube]

@TheLabWeMakeRecords just a thought...sometimes it's necessary to make guests feel comfortable and appreciated. you want to acknowledge that someone took time out to come through to the studio as well. in that sense, for us it might seem like wasting time, but perhaps it's a good intro for the guest him or herself. that might also be why some are so willing to share and eager to return...

[BayanTheOne]

@playingfieldstube

i guess the guest convenience would be best achieved by introducing him/her right from the start of the show rather than after making them sit out of sight of the camera like a dummy or a poor cousin waiting for their turn to be paid attention to

well, maybe they're told about the format of the show and totally understand and accept what's going on, from the viewer's perspective though it looks just as i described

[ElfPrincessHarley]

Great stuff. Thanks!

[rollingcube]

What a fascinating interview - that really was a fast hour. Great.

[CARTOONSMUZIKGROUP]

Im an engineer and I understand everything they are saying!! I've engineered many projects from majors to Indie and people are always with the wow factor!!!

[CARTOONSMUZIKGROUP]

@CARTOONSMUZIKGROUP Tracking is a major deal!! I started in 1995!!!

[AlexNiedt]

Great episode, as always, and it was an honor to be a guest! Pensado's Place is an endless wealth of knowledge.

[byouno93]

and Ann's studio is BEAUTIFUL!

[rollingcube]

You were right, that D-Verb was changing the pitch. I heard it on my tambourine take.. so I'm rarely gonna use any of them again.

[byouno93]

I love this show. It's probably the only thing on youtube that I would watch an hour an four minutes of :D

[snchzmusic]

Yeah!! we've missed it Dave!!

[toddrichardmchenry]

Amen! There's a local program where I live that churns out "engineers". By the time they graduate they know every shortcut in ProTools but couldn't mic a guitar amp with an SM57 to save their life. Blasphemy!

[KMillionTV]

finally :D waited the whole day for the episode since I missed it yesterday :D

[pdmsakony]

yeah!
