First we enjoy Alessandro Cortini's NIN rig tour, then marvel at the Richard D James (aka Aphex Twin) lost Caustic Window project auctions. Speculate on the new Dave Smith synth, then discuss the changes in mixing and also try to understand gain structure in the DAW, briefly we look at the sound techniques for a football stadium - its Wirld Cup time!
