What does it look like to build a recording career so busy you don't have time to market it — and do it entirely without computers?

Terry Carleton returns to share what's happened in the two-plus years since his first appearance: a solo album seven years in the making, the completion of his work on the Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown remix series, and a closer look at how his all-analog, DAW-less production approach actually works in practice — and where it's headed.

Terry walks through the making of Ric Shah and the Sandcrabs (From Jupiter), including a title track written as a tribute to his late high school bandmate Mike Perlitch, and how he reconstructed lost guitar tracks recorded by Camel's Andy Latimer using AI audio separation tools — a process he discovered through a Rick Beato video on the making of the Beatles' "Now and Then." He also shares how collaboration works at this level: Andy Latimer, bassist Michael Manring, and Grammy-winning composer Michael Silversher all appear on the album, and Terry explains why that kind of participation has become more accessible in the past decade.

Topics we cover include:

• The DAW-less, all-analog studio workflow — what it enables, what it costs, and what's changing
• Writing a tribute song in someone else's musical voice
• Using AI audio separation (Lalal.ai) to reconstruct lost session tracks
• How remote collaboration with high-caliber musicians has evolved
• The Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown remix project — what came out and what's next
• Why constraints (no undo, no recall) can make a producer a better listener
