My Mix Angle: I like to use a wide frequency spectrum, and provide a lot of clarity. The most important thing is balance as well as spatial relations, with just a few tricks – each sound source is in its place and you can hear everything.

At MixCon, I’m Focusing On the Funk Pop Mix Because: It’s a funky pop type of thing, which I’m getting a lot of calls for lately. Groove oriented stuff. I just like the music!

 Sneak Preview: I’ll go over how I organize the tracks, and my in the box (ITB) workflow. I mix ITB with very little outboard gear for recallability, but I need a control surface to work on. I need to move faders, to work on balances between tracks — stuff I can’t do with just a mouse, so I’ll show how I work on an Avid S6 console. I don’t use tons of plugins, I use what’s necessary – we’ll cover how to use reverbs and delays to create space.

 I Love Leading Audio Workshops Because… I like the Q&A part a lot. I’m excited to put forth information, and then talk to people about it. So come ready with your questions!
