Shownotes

Total time 48 min 40 sec. A long show today, featuring our latest listener mailbag, a review of an APC uninterruptible power supply, our guest interview with Boris Aeven, an editorial about using restraint and limits (including the Mute button) to your advantage, and at least two entirely separate food analogies from Paul (about hamburgers and spaghetti sauce).

• 00:00 Intros
• 02:45 News: red iPod, new prizes from Contour Design and zZounds in our Recording War Stories forums giveaway
• 04:35 Mailbag: recording a choir in a church, Mac vs. PC vs. Linux etc., standalone hardware device to run software plugins
• 11:25 Gear Review (Paul): APC RS 500 VA uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
• 19:45 Guest Interview (Derek and Paul): Boris Aeven, home recordist, Roland and Yamaha standalone recorder user, and cruise ship pianist
• 39:10 Song: “Renaissance Boy” by Boris Aeven
• 42:57 Editorial (Derek): It’s easy to make your songs too long or too complicated when recording yourself, so try setting some limits, or pulling stuff out, like Prince did by removing the bass completely from “When Doves Cry“
• 47:00 We’re helping to set up the Home Recording Podcast Network with some other recording podcasts around the world, and don’t forget our War Stories giveaway—the deadline is October 31.
