My guest today is Grammy award-winning mixer engineer and producer Ryan Gilligan. Ryan got his start at Quad Studios in New York, where he started as an intern, then assistant before taking on a year-long engineering gig for Busta Rhymes. Following that, he returned to Quad and began a mentorship with Michael Brauer that would last for seven years. He worked alongside artists, such as Coldplay, John Mayer, Kanye West, Shakira, Grizzly Bear, and many others. Eventually, he moved to Los Angeles to work with producer John Hill on music for Adele, Gwen, Stefani, and Florence and the Machine. He ended up staying in Los Angeles and continues to work there to this day freelancing.\xa0\nIn this episode, we discuss:\n\nPlaying Trumpet\n\nInterning\n\nQuad Studios\n\nElectric Lady\n\nBusta Rhymes\n\nDuffle Bags of Hard Drives\n\nLos Angeles\n\nNew York\n\nMichael Brauer\n\nHealth Challenges\n\nMixing Based on Emotion\n\nSurviving on Mixing\n\nStrict Budgeting\n\n\nMatt's Rant: Banking!
