## Resource

Stereo, mono, binaural or surround-sound ? I've worked with this episode's guest in all these formats and more over the many years we've been working together - but which does he prefer, and why ? Richard Durrant describes himself as an "Indie Classical" musician, which I think is a pretty good summary - but doesn't really take into account the fact that he also toured with Sky , worked as an accomplished session musician for many years and has released albums in a brilliantly eclectic variety of other genres and styles over the years. In this conversation we talk about: Why Richard records in an "acoustic igloo" (and what that is) Mic techniques for guitar and dealing with "wolf notes" on stringed instruments Real spaces versus digital reverb Touring (and performing) with a bicycle Performing Bach's cello suites on Banjo and Ukulele - how and why Full links on our website: www. themasteringshow.com/episode-99 Mentioned in this episode: Learn to master !
