In this episode, I speak with Chris Johnson, a musician and sound engineer, who is responsible for the sound of this show\u2019s theme song. He is also the bass player for Deafheaven, who had to cancel a tour and are trying to figure out how to record a live album when people can\u2019t gather to watch live shows. If you\u2019re a musician trying to record from home, there\u2019s a good discussion about what Chris can do for you remotely and what to think about in setting up a home studio. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To book Chris for mixing and mastering and other associated production duties, you can find him at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theelectricbunker\">The Electric Bunker<\/a>.
