Recorded live at NAMM 2025, in this TEC Tracks panel we talk about getting in over your head, feeling like an imposter, and how we're all just learning as we go. Whether you're a n00b or a seasoned professional, we all share the same challenges. 

Our panel (L-R): Daniel Liston Keller - moderator Rafa Sardina - producer/engineer Ross Hogarth - producer/engineer Rick Allen - sound designer David Morgan - live sound professional Ken Caillat - producer/engineer

He's been behind the faders for everyone from McCartney and AC/DC to Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, and so many more. We caught up with Pab during rehearsals for Macca's South America tour in the fall of 2024.

Part Two of our in-depth conversation with the legendary Tom Oberheim.

He's one of the founding fathers of electronic instruments, a legendary name in synthesizer history, and a most humble and unassuming genius. We sat down with Tom Oberheim to learn about his personal history, and that of the company that bears his name. Part One of our two-part interview.

He cut his teeth doing landmark recordings for artists including Dead Kennedys and Joe Satriani, designed multiple Bay Area recording studios, created the art of reamping, and has captured multiple artists with his One Mic series. We finally got to sit down for a chat with the mad genius himself.

Part two of our conversation with Blackbird Studio and Blackbird Academy founder/director John McBride.

From live sound to studio recording, John McBride has probably done every job in pro audio at least twice. He's a non-stop bundle of energy with an unwavering love for every aspect of music and the creative process. In this two-part interview, we cover everything from his roots in music and production to his dedication to helping shape the next generation of music and recording.

With a legacy of more than 30 years of timeless recordings, Cherokee Studios is among a handful of legendary studios that built the L.A. recording scene. We caught up with Bruce Robb to talk about the past, present, and future of professional recording.

From the Automatt to Capitol to Skywalker Sound, Leslie Ann Jones has engineered some of the most epic recordings while blazing a trail for women in the audio industry. We take a dive into her illustrious career.

His resume is as stellar as he is humble and pragmatic: Toto, Don Henley, Neil Young, The Mavericks, Miles Davis, and so many more. He's also one of the funniest guys in the biz. We got together at his Surf Shack studio to talk about pretty much whatever came up.
