  • Hands down the best resource for folks new (or interested in) to sound mixing!

    I’m on my first year of location sound mixing and this has been utterly invaluable to me. The checklist of questions asked every episode offers one thing that is more valuable than anything else you can find online: perspective.

    Get inside the heads of the best and you’ll be amazed at what you’ll learn!

    Thanks for what you do!
