Can't Afford To Record

It was a real pleasure to sit down with Carl Bahner and know more about what it is that makes him so damn inspiring. Carl mixes/works on around 30 songs a month. Read that last line again...and he works with artists all over the world remotely, from his home in Lancaster, PA.   Thanks Carl for taking the time to talk to me. I think we need a Part 2.

What is 'Can't Afford To Record'?  The focus of this channel is to document the journey of learning, practicing and refining audio production skills. I love making music but I still have a lot to learn about getting it to sound the way I want.   So I thought I'd open my thoughts, small victories and hiccups to everyone else. I invite you to get into the virtual recording studio with me 😎

We have hit double figures! Episode 10 of the Can’t Afford To Record podcast features Marc Danzeisen. Marc has worn all the hats, whether it’s been touring and recording with Gilby Clarke to composing and delivering music for TV & film, and honestly...this conversation barely scratches the surface on Marc’s career! But we go deep on creativity, trial and error with recording and how to deal with being a perfectionist. There’s plenty to sink your teeth into here folks, you’re in for a treat. Don’t forget you can watch the video version of this conversation over on the CATR YouTube channel.

Episode 8 of the CATR Podcast welcomes Joey Bradford of The Used. Joey's out look on music and the guitar is nothing short of inspiring. He talks about his balance between the real tube guitar amp world and the overwhelmingly convincing sounds you can achieve from the digital side of things!...Speaking of which, be sure to check out Joey's STL ToneHub pack to hear his favorite 'go to' sounds that'll fit all genres. It was awesome hearing his progression from the early days of figuring out how to use a collectively owned (by multiple bands) digital recorder to now mixing and producing in his very own private and commercial space, the Vibeatorium.

Ep. 7 of the Can't Afford To Record podcast is with LA based producer Fred Archambault. It's fair to say Fred has worn a lot of hats when it comes to working with bands in the recording studio, and with his experience ranging from the early days of being a guitar tech to being heavily involved with records like Waking The Fallen by Avenged Sevenfold, Fred's stories and perspectives will be helpful for anyone looking to improve their audio game.

The CATR Podcast's guest today is Ben 'Faz' Farestvedt. Faz and I have known each other for a number of years now being that we are from the same home town of Bedford, UK. Faz is very talented audio engineer, mixer, producer and a mean bass player. His productions have achieved great success on mainstream international radio and TV and it's clear to see why so many artists and bands want to work with him. A straight up great guy with a wealth of knowledge. You'll have plenty to take away on Episode 6...

Can't Afford To Record speaks studio drum tech, Mike Fasano. Mike was kind enough to talk shop with me, tell some very cool stories and give us a real insight to what it's like being hired to provide the drums for some HUGE records.
