• Producer Does What and Mix Engineers Do What



    This week Chris & Jody tackle the definition of what a Producer actual does and what a Mix engineer actually does. Going thru the “old school” means they were defined by. Of course we have the all important Friday Finds and there’s some real good ones this week.
