Church Sound Podcast, Episode 19: Ryan O John On Drum & Time Alignment

November 5, 2020

PSW Staff

Noted veteran audio engineer and AVID product developer talks about implementing time alignment in mixes and more.

Ever heard of drum alignment? What about time alignment? Noted veteran audio engineer and AVID product developer Ryan O John joins host Samantha Potter in Episode 19, and the two explore implementing time alignment in mixes. Playing with time (or distance, depending) can drastically change the relationship between the mics in a console. If you’ve never checked out the input delay on a digital board, this is your sign.

The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by K-array.
