Nevermind features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than the band's prior work, and is therefore considered a significant departure from their debut album, Bleach. Produced by Butch Vig, it was Nirvana's first release on the DGC label, as well as the first to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Listen and learn.Nevermind is the second studio album by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991, by DGC Records. If you are interested in recording music, tune in to this podcast. I'm still learning, but suddenly finishing a long lost dream to release my own solo album is within my grasp.

Thanks to Lij and the different pros that he has exposed his listeners to, I have actually learned how to mix songs. Not all guests are created equal, but on the rare near-snoozers, I find myself listening more to Lij and cheering him on. Nostalgia, humor and minutiae pervade, but so do legitimate insider tips and tricks. In addition to his own studio chops and experience, he has developed an excellent talent for interviewing the other pros, drawing out the classic tales of missteps, mayhem and meant-to-be happy accidents. Lij Shaw interviews people in the business of recording, mixing, mastering, production, songwriting and all things "recording studio". This sounds like an overstatement, but it's not. Thanks a lot Lij and keep up the great work! And what might at times seem highbrow and beyond the reach of many aspiring students of recording, Lij is able to condense into simple 'take-aways' - a credit to his broad understanding of all things sonic, but also to the needs of (some of) his audience. And of course there are a couple of engineers in the mix (excuse the pun). He also has a wonderful range of guests on the show, so rather than just listen to engineer after engineer talk gear, you might one day hear an acoustician talking spaces, and the next a songwriter talking processes and giving practical tips.

Personality aside, it is clear that Lij possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge extending to all areas of sound, recording and production. This is largely due to the host Lij's wonderful manner - warm and playful, and self-deprecating almost to a fault. Like any good podcast you can take this one anywhere with you and it's like having an old friend there. And maybe even remembering what it was like to be 21 again. So I am excited to talk to Hamish today about what he has learned from his luminary podcast guests and from starting a studio business himself. He specialises in recording bands live, playing together in one room, fusing traditional recording techniques with the benefits of modern digital recording.
