In The Studio - Hosted by Brad Sundberg

It's time for another battle to determine the best-sounding version of "HIStory"! We have vinyl, Spotify, and CD, but this time I'm bringing a new fighter into the ring: Qobuz.

Of course, these results are purely my opinion, and I welcome your thoughts in the comments.

It made for a fun and slightly ear-opening battle! Thanks for tuning in!

For most people, Tony Black is known for his incredible work as a Grammy Award-winning producer with artists like Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, and many of the biggest names in New York hip hop and R&B. But for me, Tony and I go back to our days working together on Michael Jackson's "HIStory" album.

In this episode, we reminisce about our time with Michael before diving into Tony's remarkable career and the New York studio scene of the '90s. While my musical roots were rock, pop, disco, and gospel, Tony was in the world of hip hop and R&B - and has some amazing stories to share.

I had a great time learning from Tony, hearing his stories, and comparing our experiences in the studio. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Michael Jackson's Neverland Valley Ranch had a lot of hidden technology to help make it the remarkable place that it was, including many concert-grade sound systems in the amusement park. I had the privilege of building these sound systems, so in this week's episode I break down some of the unique ways I accomplished this.

I hope you enjoy and I hope to see you for the full Virtual Tour Of Neverland livestream this Saturday! We are hosting two to better accommodate different time zones, choose the one that works best for you!

A few weeks ago Brad Buxer and I talked about how fun it would be to watch the "Michael" movie together, so while we were in Berlin we made it happen!

This was Brad Buxer's first time watching the movie, so right after it ended we had a conversation debriefing and hearing his thoughts with a live audience! Thank you to Marcos Cabotá for filming this interview and to SAE Institute Berlin for hosting us. And thank you to the ITSWMJ Berlin guests who watched the movie with us and asked some great questions as well!

Enjoy hanging out in the studio with us!
