Episode 126: Sound Chaser 294

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. Today’s lesson is about the producers and engineers, those behind the sound desk, who make the musicians sound even better. To a large extent, these people have been as much contributors to the progressive rock sound as the musicians, so on this show and the next one, we will take a listen to the sound design aspects of the prog genre. Also, in here will be an In Memoriam sidebar for singer Neil Lockwood. All that, plus news of tours and releases on Sound Chaser.
