• 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. A big thank you for the listener who sent us a request to define these rolls in the world of music recording. It is not unlikely that some nonsense will also be discussed.

    Chris and Jody tackle the concept of Gain Staging. What does it mean? Why should we care? What does it come from? How does it relate to recording and mixing? These are all things to think about. Plus find out where Jody had a gain staging “revelation.” Find out the Gold Star word of the week. What new music related products we found this week in the Friday Finds and what will the next Tuesday Tip be? One way to know – tune in. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
