“Podcasts were made for this - deep-diving into the making of great albums, hearing from the artist and their producers about their creative decisions, inspiration, sounds and tech they used. Often opening up their DAW and breaking down tracks. I have listened to some of these multiple times. John...”Read full review »

“This podcast is at its best when delving into the electronic world, Bicep in particular have been a stand out guest.
Would love to see some smaller (but still big) electronic music artists and see how perspectives change (dennis sulta, mall grab, Salute). Lots of potential for follow up episodes...”Read full review »

“Absolutely love this podcast. It gets deep into the intricacies of what goes into a song while not losing an audience (me) with very little understanding of audio production. You start to listen to music differently. Can’t wait for more.”

“Really enjoying this. Like Song Exploder but way more in depth. Really inspiring for me as a so so musician. And the presenter interjects sparingly, letting the musician and music do most of the talking. Classy.”

“I listen to a lot of music podcasts, but this is my favorite. The idea behind Tape Notes is simple: get together with musicians and producers to listen to songs from the earliest demos or voice notes through to the final product (and many of the steps and individual stems in between). It’s...”Read full review »

Together with the host. Starting with the original idea of the song all the way through it’s completion. So if...”Read full review »
