• 02:03 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Paul, who founded this podcast, is so busy with his new company Mac Video Training that he has to take an indefinite hiatus from Inside Home Recording. So it’s just Derek and Dave (with help from Boris and others) now. Whoa!
• 05:35 NEWS: Dave was on the Home Made Hit Show; we’re still waiting for the Project Studio Network; touring Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios with Sonic State (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), plus early stereo recording; Eddie Kramer’s Logic/Waves tour; Koblo‘s new open-source DAW, plugin marketplace, and more; look out for algae in your earphones (yuck).

• 10:38 GEAR REVIEW: Derek reviews the Zune 8 media player (now available in Canada), sent to him free by Microsoft and Matchstick.
• 20:41 IHR 101: Dave talks about scoring for movies and TV shows, part 1 of 2. Also look for his subsequent glossary post on our blog at InsideHomeRecording.com defining some of the terms he uses.
• 29:56 EDITORIAL: Listen to music you liked when you were a kid. In Derek’s case, it’s the genius of ABBA. Also, when recording and mixing, avoid that “shopping mall sound.”
• 36:15 How to get in touch with us, and congratulations to Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central for his 400th podcast episode, and beyond.
• 38:20 END.
