On today‘s podcast, we start with an look at a brand new soft synth, the Keytosound Nexsyn. Available in all plug-in formats, and for both Mac and PC, the Nexsyn features a mixture of synthesis and sample playback, comes with sounds from Big Fish Audio, and introduces a new concept for patch sharing called Netnotes.

Next is an interview with Nathaniel Kunkel, a very busy and successful producer/engineer, who talks about what he‘s seen at NAMM, how to avoid the pitfalls of recording on a digital audio sequencer, and his current project recording the new Lyle Lovett CD.

You‘ll also hear about the new Master Control from Alesis, which is a hybrid of a digital mixer, a control surface, a speaker switcher, and more.

Finally, there‘s an interview with keyboard whiz and Dream Theater member Jordan Rudess, who‘s been performing at the Roland booth with drum virtuoso Rod Morgenstein. Rudess discusses his current projects, the limitations of MIDI, and much more.
