Reverb Master Michael Carnes On My Latest Inner Circle Podcast

Michael Carnes created reverb products for Lexicon for 25 years before he decided to go out on his own and start Exponential Audio. He now builds a new generation of reverb and effects plugins that not only sound great, but are very reasonable priced as well.

I was lucky enough to get Michael to come on the podcast to discuss everything-reverb in depth, which you'll really find both fascinating and useful at the same time.

In the podcast intro, I'll discuss the fact that the CD is still selling in the hundreds of millions, and we'll go over a checklist to help vocal production go smoother and get the best performance possible.

Remember that you can find the podcast at BobbyOInnerCircle.com, or either on iTunes or Stitcher.

Are CD's Back?

This week was finally a good one for CD sales, with 5 releases with sales of more than 100,000. The album sales chart was topped by the latest Rascal Flatts album Lyric Street at 355,000.

What's more, 20 out of the top 50 showed positive gains from the week before and 12 were new entries.

Could the rise of the current release digital single have anything to do with that? Is an album priced at $9.99 suddenly a better bargain than a single at $1.29. Maybe it's just a coincidence and an odd week, but it's something worth looking at the next few weeks to see if it signals a trend.

Either way, it was a great sales week. Not quite like the days of old when with sales in the millions and near millions, but better than it's been in a long, long time.
