Jeff Hawley joins me this week. The Marketing Maestro at Allen & Heath USA, Jeff is an audio engineer, music industry veteran, and aspiring philosopher. We discuss the idea of "mixing-by-number". When should you use presets? When shouldn't you? At what point do we consider visual cues on a board a crutch? (Hint: your ears are important!)

Pursuing some post-graduate degrees in philosophy, Jeff seeks to understand the intersection of sound and mind. Who can say what "good" is, and how can we quantify that which is unquantifiable?

The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and KLANG:technologies.
