The first rule of radio production? Wear headphones.

The second rule? Be in control of your record levels.

Yeah. Okay. That’s all well and good. But, what if, in order to get the best sound, you have to hand your gear over to a circus act who’s roller skating ten feet off the ground on a six-foot wide platform swinging his wife around in all kinds of crazy ways?

You can’t wear headphones. You can’t adjust your record levels once the recording starts. What do you do?

Producer Paula Mauro has the answer. And, we feature her piece The Rolling Diamonds. Give it a spin.

Cheers, Rob
