In this week’s Podcast Julian Rodgers, Audrey Martinovich and James Richmond discuss whether technology can address poor tracking spaces? Years ago we would never have believed that we could model a U47 or that RX could ever do what it does. Will we ever be able to call up a useable “Voiceover Booth” preset?
