A couple of cool sites to share with you, a special podcast to recommend, a CD you ought to know about and Part #2 of our interview with the King Of All Geek Media, Mr. Leo Laporte! But first...next week begins a very special series of shows here at PSN that you do not want to miss! You're going to want to tell all of your friends to come and get subscribed to PSN so they don't miss it either. It's The 30 Days Of Dye! That's right, four shows in a row with the legendary Charles Dye. He's a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning mixer, engineer and producer. He was the first person to win a Grammy for a song that was mixed entirely 'in the box', with Pro Tools. No analog gear was used. And he actually likes to share his secrets with others about how to get your mixes to sound like a record. In fact, Charles has published a fantastic interactive mixing course called Mix It Like A Record. It features three hours of instruction, an ever-growing library of online instructional movies and 40 Pro Tools sessions for you to load up on your own gear and see exactly what he's doing. We'll be talking about subjects in this course throughout the next four shows with him. If you haven't already gotten this interactive mixing course for yourself, what are you waiting for?

Here's a link to the podcast channel that will get you all of Leo's dynasty of podcasts: Link To Radio Leo Viewer Mail: Matthias Frank from Germany writes, "I'm working here on Pro Tools 24 Mix on OS 9 and I was visiting some trade shows with different companies who offer new (supposedly better) audio interfaces for a much cheaper price. I'm debating whether or not to sell all of my formerly "high-class" equipment from Digidesign and switch to something else. "Is the quality that much better as these new companies tell you and try to convince you? Would do you guys think about the quality issues regarding audio interfaces. Is it all hype?" Answer To Last Week's: How'd They Do That? Q: There's a popular vocal effect used in songs like Mr.Roboto by Styx, and even in some science fiction programs. How'd They Do That? Vocoder Example David Spooner A: The Vocoder! Al gives a little history of this cool little machine.

A: House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals - 1964 An interesting side note... The Animals did not write "The House of the Rising Sun." (If you look at the really small print on their 1966 album, The Best of the Animals, you'll find that it was only arranged by them.) According to Alan Lomax in his book Our Singing Country (1941), the melody of "The House of the Rising Run" is a traditional English ballad and the lyrics were written by Georgia Turner and Bert Martin (both from Kentucky). It was first recorded in the 1920s by black bluesman Texas Alexander and later covered by Leadbelly, Charlie Byrd, Roy Acuff, Woody Guthrie, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Tracy Chapman and Bob Dylan...just to name a few.

First up, some sad news. Wilson Pickett, best-known for hits "In the Midnight Hour" & "Mustang Sally", died of a heart attack yesterday at just 64 years young. Mike and Al share some personal memories of his work. Spotlight: Al discusses the new Macintosh computers with the Intel chip inside and it's compatibility with timing-based applications (MIDI, audio, video, etc.). The new computers are using a translation program called Rosetta to run any application that's not been updated to run on the Intel processor. Rosetta does not handle timing-based applications very well and is not ready to function as a media production platform until updates of the applications are available. Even Apple's own pro media apps (Final Cut, Soundtrack, Logic, etc.) won't run on this new machine yet. Updates of these pro apps should be available after March. In the meantime, if you're an Ableton Live user, you're good to go with the new Intel Macs! Version 5.2 was just released and ready to run on this new platform. Live 5.2 will be available as a download in February. Hot News From NAMM! Digidesign is heating up the NAMM show with lots of great news and releases...
