My experience of professional studio's has not been good. Yeah - I think the message here is that commercial studios are a very mixed bag. There's no entrance exam in that business - anyone can turn their hobby into a commercial venture, filling a space with all sorts of gear - some examples of ...

I thought you had totally abandoned the non-calorific world Jack! ;) Well, I'm not doing any music work at all, but I want to be sure not to miss the opportunity to keep on making occasional comments that reveal that I haven't understood the degree to which things have moved on since I last knew ...

When it comes to these sorts of things, it's a little bit like this... You need to get from London to Brighton by car. You have the following options... A Kia hatchback A Golf GTI A Range Rover A Ferrari A Tesla P100D All the cars are going to get you there. They all work. They all offer a slightly ...

Ah they must have waited until I'd retired from music production to add playlists. Thank me later.

Thanks so much for those links. To add, these guides to reading scientific studies can be very helpful... https://examine.com/guides/how-to-read-a-study/ https://chriskresser.com/how-to-read-and-understand-scientific-research/ https://chrismasterjohnphd.substack.com/p/037-how-to-read-a-science-paper

I wanted to reiterate my acknowledgement of how divisive this topic can be. Almost every human motivation comes back to food or sex, and we feel significant discordance when people disagree with the way we go about either :lol: Seriously, I appreciate everyone giving their time and energy to this ...

I’m sorry you feel that my comments were belittling.

So what you're saying Jack is that every studio should keep a cow. I was amused by finishing an article on nutrition with "next time we'll take a look at movement". Did a double take on that one... Regarding the sentiments expressed through this thread, I'll add that I've been vegetarian since 1995 ...

If you’re experienced in reading science papers, and know how to distinguish good studies from bad, to find out what the latest science says I think the best thing to do is to use Google Scholar to find the latest reviews. Even official health service websites don't fully reflect up to date science ...

Yeah, that's Michael Greger's site. He's kind of the vegan poster-child - all in on that lifestyle, and while I do believe that he genuinely believes in it, unlike some more cynical people in that world, I fear that his judgement is clouded by his ethical agenda. I could point you to many people on ...

Yep.

:lol: Sorry about that :thumbup: Ha it's not you, it's just that there are endless levels of nuance to the whole subject. When I wrote the piece we had to take a decision on the level of detail that people would find practical in a magazine article. It seemed sensible to keep it simple in print ...

So nice you've taken the time thought to reply Nutritionist formerly known as Jack :thumbup: Tru about blood sugar from Mejoul (me Julie) dates. I get headaches if I consume too much... It's a pleasure. Ha yeah I see double if eat more than about three of them. Recently my dad did a week on a ...

I consume raw broccoli raw carrots every now and then. You might find broccoli sprouts easier, and they're very much higher in sulforaphane, if that's what you're after. My sugar intake is via Mejoul (me Julie Ali G :lol:) style Dates around 2 a day They are the most delicious thing on earth, but ...

Thanks for the info Jack. I've been vegetarian since 11 into my 50s, never touched fish flesh or fowl since, simply because I don't like the idea. I consume plenty of eggs and cheese though; feel OK so far, hopefully survive a bit longer. I've known a couple of vegans but none who have stuck with ...

I believe it's something like 40 eggs a day you'd need to eat to put you at risk. Butter is another one, in the 70s and 80s the 'science' bought and paid for by corporations trying to promote their 'I can't believe it's not butter' products pushed this crap out. Now of course the evidence is ...

I had heard too that those who eat the most fruit and veg have a slight 'buffer' against some of the effects of food with cancer risk factors. Yeah the highest intake of fresh fruit and vegetables appears to negate the highest intake of red meat. It's worth noting that higher intakes of meat may ...

Hi folks - sorry I didn't jump back in on this yesterday. It was a crazy day. Tomas, just to say in advance that I really do appreciate your posts here, the fact that you're questioning this and calling out the contradictions. Thank you for taking the time to talk about it. I open the article this ...

Thanks for your comments Tomas. Vegetarians are able to eat significant amounts of animal protein from dairy and eggs. Many also choose to include some occasional fish and poultry, despite describing themselves as vegetarian. Strict vegans do not* and there are endless examples of their health ...

Animal foods, particularly ruminant meat and organs, eggs and some seafood are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. It's not even close. To some extent you can cobble together plant proteins to get a complete complement of essential amino acids, but in whole food forms they're simply not ...

There is nothing in Jack's article that I've not experienced empirically or confirmed independently through my own research. I heartily recommend it to anyone. ... Well done Jack and it's brilliant to see this kind of material in Sound On Sound :thumbup: Thanks so much for your kind words, and for ...

If he moves a lot, the first thing is to establish whether he sings better if he's pinned into position than he does when he's moving around. It could go either way. If he's better moving, try the SM58. If that basically works, but could sound a bit better, get an SM7 and have him hold it. Another ...

For me, 'personas' are useful for young artists and online influencers etc. Their following are looking to buy in to a character, and they're willing to suspend disbelief to a certain degree, especially if they (the following) are also very young. But for those of us who are older, followed more for ...

That's amazing news mate. Well done. Low carb diets and fasting can be magic for many people. They work particularly well for men, and particularly well when we do have some fat on us to lose. (They can start to work less well when leaner people become set on the idea of fasting for autophagy, or ...
