Customer Reviews
Amazing
So much incredible insight… I just came across this podcast and binged it! Wish we had more episodes
Thoroughly enthralling
The perfect level of nerding out on anything and everything around making records. I can’t get enough of these.
I would love to hear future content on SPARS coding and how it affects your process and approach. I have also been reading about mono vs stereo records and would be interested in your take and experience.
Keep up the awesome content!
Stylene
Super into this. Can you please speak on “Stylene” 7” at some point? What’s the deal with those? Worth the money? Do they wear out faster than vinyl?
