Thank you all for the incredible response to the show so far. I’ve been blown away by the support you’ve given me. I’ve really enjoyed talking to all of my guests and sharing their stories with you. I’m a big history geek and I really hope you’ve enjoyed learning things about the a cappella world and its history.

Before I introduce this week’s guest, I have a couple of announcements.

I’ve got a huge list of potential guests lined up and I’m also starting to develop some new ideas for segments on the show with different experts. This show is for you though. I’m always looking to talk to interesting people and I definitely don’t know everyone so if you know someone in a cappella that you think would make a fascinating guest on the show, please head over to recordingacappella.com and send me a message.

I’m super excited to announce Catalyst, a workshop happening this summer. Arranger Tom Anderson and I will be leading a multi-day workshop on arranging and recording that is designed to propel you faster to greater things in acappella. Whether you are interested in an acappella career or just want to improve your groups’ arrangements and recordings, you’ll want to check this workshop out. The event will be held at my studio in Nashville, TN during the week of July 31st. I’ll have more info for you next week including exact dates and where to go for more detailed information so please stay tuned for that info.

I am really thrilled to introduce you to this weeks’ guest Ed Boyer. I have so much respect for Ed and all of the amazing things he’s accomplished in his a cappella career. And if you met him on the street, you’d never know he had platinum records with arguably the most popular acappella group in the world Pentatonix, had mixed The Sing Off, and worked on all the Pitch Perfect films. I first met Ed over 10 years ago when Deke Sharon told me I should email Ed about what equipment to buy to record a cappella groups. I’m really excited for you to hear this episode because Ed shares why he loves mixing, what he does every week to remind himself of his goal when mixing a song. He tells us about his journey from being a producer who was constantly on the road to being a mixing engineer that can work from home. He also talks about how he loves getting to work on songs that millions of people will hear and as cool as it is to work on big name records, he still loves the simple direct to the artist relationship of working with a school group. And for those of us that have been working in the acappella world for a while, Ed has a great reminder for himself that we can all take to heart. He reminds himself regularly that even though we sometimes complain about things we have to deal with in this job, it’s still pretty damn cool that we get to work on acappella for a living.
