		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was hired to finesse a rather rough live recording of Michael Franti&#8216;s performance at the protest concert outside the Republican National Convention in 2008.  The recording was done with a pair of shotgun mics placed fairly close to each other. In fact, the recording was essentially mono &#8211; probably because of the mic [...]]]></description>

When I first started mixing using a computer, I would throw up inserts on everything.  Everything was processed independently.  As you might imagine, my mixes were insanely CPU intensive and hard to manage.  Soon I realized that many of the tracks [...]]]></description>

When engineers and producers started to make the switch from analog to digital, they found that digital was not only cleaner sound, but it was also somewhat unforgiving.  Most producers were quite fond of &#8216;driving&#8217; the tape a bit by [...]]]></description>

The signal chain for vocals is probably one of the most important production choices in pop music.  Of course, it helps to have a healthy selection of devices to choose from.  Every voice has unique qualities, some of which [...]]]></description>
