I recently had a chance to interview Rick Clark, Author of “Mixing, Recording, and Producing Techniques of the Pros” for Ronan’s Recording Show. What I thought would be a short interview ended up being 40 minutes of great content. Rick not only talked about the book, but shares great insight into many producers. Fans of Jim Dickinson (Big Star, The Replacements, Ry Cooter), Brian Ahern (Emmylou Harris, Anne Murray, Ricky Skaggs) David Briggs (Neil Young, Nick Cave, Royal Trux) will really enjoy Rick’s insight into these producer’s work.

What is it that all those guys like Bob Ludwig, Stephen Marcussen, Greg Calbi and Bob katz are actually doing? Get the part of the answer here.

I shot this really fast on a break in a studio in Italy with REALLY bad lighting. I will replace it with a better looking video when I get some time.
