RSR434 – Pete Lyman, John Baldwin & Brandon Towles – Atmos Mixing & Mastering & Vinyl at Infrasonic Sound East

How many engineers can you fit on a podcast? Pete, John and Brandon talked about the good and bad of a shared studio, Atmos mixing and mastering, how to make great bass, vinyl records, and why their worst day is better than most jobs' best days!

My guests today are Pete Lyman, John Baldwin & Brandon Towles mixing, mastering, and cutting vinyl at Infrasonic Sound East here in Nashville.
