b"Working Class Audio #241 with Dan Shike!!!\\nDan Shike started college at the University of Evansville and considered a major in physics with intention of a career in acoustics and speaker design \\u2013 that is, until he heard of the Recording Industry program at Middle Tennessee State University.\\xa0Within a week of learning of this \\u201crecording industry\\u201d and that he could go to school to be in it, Dan applied to MTSU and planned the big move to the south.\\xa0\\nAt MTSU Dan spent every waking moment (and a few not so awake) in the studios of the Recording Industry program.\\xa0He worked in the recording studio maintenance lab and was a lab assistant for many of his instructors, helping teach lessons in studio recording, SSL operation, and critical listening.\\xa0It was there that the thought of moving into mastering emerged.\\xa0Dan didn\\u2019t do so well in history class but he rocked those engineering classes.\\nPost-college, Dan worked as an assistant engineer at the MCA Music Publishing studio, held a staff assistant engineer job at Sound Stage Studios, and hung out in what free time he had with a couple of very busy engineers in Nashville.\\xa0After about a year and a half at Sound Stage, he went the independent assistant route to work steadily with F. Reid Shippen, mixer of many awesome records, for about 4 years and did some assisting and engineering on the side when he wasn\\u2019t busy, which was nearly never.\\xa0The desire for mastering grew all the while.\\nWhile splitting time between studio work and mastering work, in 2002, Dan did his first major-label mastering project for DC Talk.\\xa0Why start with an unknown?\\xa0Things went well from there, and in the spring of 2003 the mastering work and the assisting work couldn\\u2019t coexist any longer, and Tone and Volume Mastering went full time and all out.\\n\\nLinks and Show Notes:\\n\\n\\nWorking Class Audio Journal: https://amzn.to/2GN67TP\\n\\n\\n\\nCurrent sponsors & promos: https://bit.ly/2WmKbFw\\n\\n\\n\\nDan's Site: https://toneandvolume.com/\\n\\n\\nCredits:\\n\\n\\nHost: Matt Boudreau\\xa0\\n\\n\\nGuest: Dan Shike\\n\\n\\nWCA Theme Music: Cliff Truesdell\\xa0\\n\\n\\nAnnouncer: Chuck Smith\\n\\n\\nEditing: Anne-Marie Pleau & Matt Boudreau\\n\\n\\nAdditional Music: The License Lab"
