Machine is setting up shop on this episode to impart all sorts of wisdom that he’s gained over the course of his incredible production career.

We had to super size this episode to make room for all the info. Machine touches on a bit of everything. He talks about techniques he used when recording drums with Lamb of God, narrowly avoiding setting band members on fire, why you need to stop worrying about your g.a.s., and that’s all just to get the ball rolling.
