It's rare that I do live sound, but here I am prepping for some middle school and high school jazz before tomorrow's gig. I borrowed this mixer from my buddy @benbernsteinmusic just like I do every year for the same gig. If you're recording person who doesn't do live sound all that often I have to tell you that this mixer is so damn intuitive. Props to Alan & Heath for the SQ series.
In this episode, Matt welcomes mastering engineer Steve Kitch. Steve shares his journey from early music programming on home keyboards and classical piano training to building a worldwide mastering practice from his studio in Devon, UK. They discuss the transition from transferring DAT tapes to CDs, being an early adopter of online file delivery, and the evolution of a professional audio career through self-taught exploration and technical curiosity.

Here's my photo dump from working with @amiepenwell and @v_for_vicente at @sharkbitestudios this weekend. Super productive session. Great people, songs, studio, and tools. Such a winning combination. And a special shout out to Robert Kirby who popped his head in at the end of the day, as I was wrapping cables and said "hey dude, do you want a hand wrapping cables and cleaning up?" I got home much earlier as a result.
