There's a new video podcast out there for the pro audio enthusiast. Sonic Valentine, hosted by Scott Velazco and Ben Stano, is an entertaining glimpse into the world of recording engineers.
We jumped at the chance to host episode #3 of a podcast that is rapidly gaining a devoted audience of like-minded audio geeks. It's a must-see for anyone looking to learn more about recording engineers.
Taking advantage of their surroundings for this particular episode, Scott and Ben review control surfaces such as our own Digidesign D-Command. As with every review so far, it's a frank and honest look, with no BS filters. That will probably change when they get sponsors and free gear.
This episode also features a shootout between Universal Audio's new 1073 Plug-in and a real Neve 1073, which they forget to mention we have eight of. Actually we have three 1073's, two 1066's, two 1084's, and one 31102. I digress...
A regular feature in the video podcast is "Guitar Gods of MySpace". This segment brings forth hilariously bad guitarists and is often accompanied by Scott and Ben's own tongue-in-cheek music video. This episode features a guy named Bobby, and the accompanying video hints at the close relationship between the Sonic Valentine hosts.
This video podcast is available for free from the iTunes Music Store. As entertaining as this podcast is, you should be aware there is some harsh language, partial nudity, and the hosts are admittedly drunk.
They don't have any weapons, but they are armed...with the truth.
