My guest today is Radial Engineering product manager Jay Porter, who worked as both a live and studio engineer before entering the world of audio manufacturing.



Over the past 10 years while working with Primacoustic, Jay has assisted with acoustic treatment layouts for every type of venue from the home recording studio to the mega church including rooms for such artists as Jacquire King, Tommy Lee, John Rzeznik, David Bottrill and David Rideau. Now at Radial Jay is one of the voices for the company’s many cool new products.



During the interview we spoke about acoustic treatment systems, working with music celebrities on their studios, new direct box designs and products, and much more.



On the intro I’ll take a look at Hasbro buying into the music business, Universal Music selling 10% of itself, and company acquisitions by Focusrite and the parent company of SSL.
