So… should your mixes always sound like you? Chris & Jody stir the pot with a no-holds-barred chat about whether mix engineers should embrace a “signature sound” or just be sonic chameleons. On one hand, having a vibe makes you recognizable. On the other, it might just turn you into a one-trick pony. They unpack the pros, the cons, the industry myths, and of course, a little nonsense in between. Plus, don’t miss their Friday Finds—because what’s a good debate without some fresh gear talk and a laugh? Spoiler: even hidden features in studio gear sneak into the conversation.
