Sunny Nam on The Next Track

Kirk and I were delighted to chat with renowned mastering engineer, Sangwook "Sunny" Nam, on the latest episode of The Next Track podcast. It was fascinating. And Sunny couldn't have been more generous with his time. If you've ever been curious about the process of mastering an album or just want to geek-out a little, I hope you'll give this episode a listen.

The Next Track, Episode No. 6

On the latest episode of The Next Track podcast, Kirk McElhearn and I welcome Chris Connaker, the founder of the Computer Audiophile website, to discuss some basic pros and cons of high-resolution audio. I have to admit that my familiarity with hi-res audio has been somewhat stifled by a natural inclination to Not Pay Much Attention to New Stuff Now That I've Got My Audio System Set Up Just The Way I Like It For The Rest of My Life. You know that feeling? So I enjoyed reviving my inner audio-geek in this chat with Chris.

Introducing The Next Track Podcast

Kirk McElhearn and I are pleased to announce the debut of The Next Track, a new podcast about how people listen to music today. Each episode will feature some news, some opinion, and a look at how music is consumed, whether it be analog or digital, downloaded or streamed, audio or video. We'll also look at some of the hardware used to listen to music: speakers, headphones, portable players, and home audio equipment. And there will be guests from time to time: musicians, producers, writers, critics, and more.

Each episode of The Next Track will be around 30 minutes, and episodes will be released weekly. We'll also publish articles of related interest on The Next Track.com.
