Philadelphia has been an incubator for all kinds of great music, and in the ‘70s and ‘80s funk, soul, pop and Latin styles combined to create some phenomenally great, danceable and far-reaching music. Mark Rubel will interview Philadelphia engineer Dirk Devlin (and possibly some other special guests) about the stories, techniques, and style of recording, plus an examination of an 11-minute multi-track recording.
