One of the most important things I've learned at my job is how to pump out a rough mix in a small amount of time. It might seem like a shitty rough mix might damage your reputation, but in my experience it's easily outweighed by the positive effect of doing a quick, effective rough mix in front of s...

especially in new york city. There's probably someone making a career our of recording the gastric methane releases of the elderly. It's hard to find new ground to cover Great, now my scene is going to be flooded with fucking amateurs undercutting my nursing home special. Thanks alot. I've been thi...

Also, any ideas for exploiting the insane gear list that we have? find what no one else is doing or recording, and g...
