Overcoming the Fears of Mixing, with Michael Brauer [SSP #020]

Legendary music mixer Michael Brauer joins Justin Colletti to talk all about the art of mixing, and how to overcome the fears that have kept so many mixers—including him—from doing their best work early on in their careers.

From Coldplay to John Mayer to Grizzly Bear, Brauer’s body of work, spanning more than 40 years, has made him one of the most respected and influential audio engineers on the scene today.

Filled with his incomparable wit and wisdom, this 90 minute journey with Michael Brauer just flies by. From the art and mindset of mixing, to some of Brauer’s trademark tools and techniques, Justin and Michael cover a tremendous amount of ground, including how Brauer learned to hear compression, and how he integrates it into his multi-bus mixing setup, now in a new hybrid studio without an analog desk.
