Brent Washburn joins the show in Episode 138 to talk about his work as front of house engineer and tour manager for Canadian pop artist JESSIA. Washburn, who recently worked with co-host Michael Lawrence at the Outside Lands Festival, explains how he was running the system 10 dB below the festival’s SPL limit yet his mix sounded huge. He also talks about how he used his downtime over the past two years to further develop his craft, and more. This episode is sponsored by Audix and Allen & Heath.
