I hope you love this interview and I’m very excited to share it. Tony talks about live sound, customer service, business building, and more. He shares the surreal “fake it til you make it” story of how he became Take 6’s mix engineer and how you can give yourself the best chance to succeed in the world of live sound. Hint, it involves taking regular showers…
We discuss Tony’s keys to making a great recording in today’s world of being able to fix tuning and timing and he gives you a few keys to getting great live sound including regularly working with the same engineer and using little to no compression. During our conversation about his recent Live Sound Workshop called It Sounds Muddy, Tony tells us about the concept of sonic elements in music and how knowing them can drastically improve the sound of your live mix.
