"Why The Music Business Sucks" from Ed Bradshaw and Dante Brown, and Patrick Abbas has a question about sample delay in Pro Tools.

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:

Q: This single debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 on April 19, 1975 and catapulted from #98 to #1 in nine weeks, remaining in the top position for four weeks. The artist also recorded the song in Spanish, and it was released as a single later that year. It also charted, peaking at #49 on the Billboard pop charts that same year, making it the first #1 single ever to chart simultaneously in different languages by the same artist. What was the song and who was the artist?

A: This is related to last weeks trivia question. The answer is Love Will Keep Us Together by Daryl Dragon and Toni Tenille, better known as The Captain And Tenille.

The only correct answer was from Brian Cowie, who won last week's contest! Kudos to Brian, but no prize award this week.

See you next week!

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:
Q: For a short time this woman was a keyboard player for the Beach Boys. She was the only "Beach Girl" ever in the band. Who was she?

A: Toni Tenille! Daryl Dragon, the son of classical conductor Carmen Dragon, had studied classical piano for ten years. During the run of Mother Earth Daryl became impressed with Toni’s writing and singing and persuaded her to join the Beach Boys as pianist on their next tour. She was the first and only “Beach Girl.? Daryl wound up being nicknamed “Captain Keyboard? by Mike Love, because he always wore a naval captain’s cap on stage, so when he and Toni teamed up, they naturally became the Captain and Tennille.

Congratulation to this week's winner Brian Cowe! Brian takes home a copy of Guitar And Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at GuitarAndDrumTrainer.com.

Honorable Mention goes out to Andrew Schaap, Mark Rufino, Pete Buchwald, Crazy Joe over at SurfLounge.com and John Azevedo. Way to go!

See you next week!

[Show #61] John Phillips - Student Of The Art Of Mixing


News, a Featured Performance and a Super Stupid Knob!

Celebrity Interview:

What's it like to attend a live seminar with a grammy-winning engineer and mixer? One of our listeners, John Phillips, just found out first-hand a couple of weeks ago. Al caught up with John so that he could share his experience with everyone.

http://ProMediaTraining.com


Featured Performance:

We ran across a very interesting article by Dan Richards over at Studio Reviews Magazine. Dan recently published an article, Why Don't My Recordings Sound Pro?, and in it he concentrated mostly on the idea that the road to getting a "pro sound" had more to do with making a good working arrangement, and less about needing a $3,000.00 microphone. He also pointed out that it was important that we sometimes try to see the forest for the trees by de-emphasizing "the gear" that we all lust after. Because, in the end, the gear doesn't make the music.

Check out a tune recorded with just a few Shure SM 57s!

Character voice by Juanita Grande - JuanitaGrande.com


Super Stupid Knob:

A rollerskating male stripper, Joe Nichols to sing at Anna Nicole's funeral and the industry-shaking impact of FedEx (Kevin Federline).


Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:
Q: We're all intimately familiar with studio recording. But, what was the first live recording to top the Billboard chart?

A: Fingerstips Part Two by Little Stevie Wonder in 1963.

No winners this week. Maybe next time! :)

See you next week!
