In The Studio - Hosted by Brad Sundberg

In this episode, I break down one of my personal high-resolution audio and CD playback systems, including the components I selected, how they connect, and why they work together.

Over the years, I’ve worked with and owned a wide variety of power amps, speakers, receivers, mixers, preamps, and studio monitoring equipment, but this particular system is focused on achieving accurate, punchy, professional-level sound without spending a fortune.

The complete budget hi-fi system delivers what I consider excellent CD playback for just over $700 USD, all-in.

I've used these simple techniques to build multiple playback systems for Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, and Elizabeth Taylor. I hope this episode helps you realize that high-resolution, studio-quality audio can be more attainable than you might think!

A conversation with an old friend is always fun, especially when that old friend is Michael Jackson's musical director, Brad Buxer.

Brad pops into my events every now and then, so I thought it would be fun to dig deep into what it was like to tour with Michael and be part of one of the biggest productions in music history. I'm very well versed in working with Michael in the studio, on video shoots, and at Neverland, but traversing the globe with him was something I never got to do.

This conversation was filmed in front of a live audience, and we took a stack of great questions from them!

Thanks for watching, and as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. If you enjoy these conversations, please subscribe for more stories from the studio and beyond.

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!
