The Yeti Show: Recording Revolution — Beatles, Abbey Road, and the Engineering That Changed Music

Not another fan podcast. This is a studio-grade dive into how the Beatles’ sound was built—through the ears of legendary engineer Geoff Emerick. Hosted by Yeti, we explore the sessions, circuits, and creative risks that turned tape, valves, and consoles into history.

Why listen?

• Engineering-first storytelling: Mic technique, gain staging, varispeed, tape loops, compression choices, and orchestral overdubs—explained for working engineers and serious fans.
• Beatles context that respects your IQ: We connect decisions in Studio Two to the mixes you’re crafting today—analog vs. digital workflows, plugin emulations, and why those “Abbey Road presets” actually work.
• Direct tie-ins to the book: Each episode spotlights moments from Recording Revolution: The Geoff Emerick Story — Expanded Edition and the new bonus sections that break down the how and why.

Who it’s for

• Audio engineers, producers, mixers, and mastering folks who want craft-level detail.
• Beatles fans who love the music and the machinery behind the magic.

What you’ll hear

• Session deconstructions from Revolver through Abbey Road (kick mics, Fairchild strategies, ADT, Leslie vocals, and more).
• Modern takeaways: translating ’60s constraints into today’s DAW workflows.
• Short “shop talk” segments with actionable ideas you can test on your next mix.
