In a true immersive environment, the entire audience has matched experience. Every seat should sound the same. What does that allow for your mix?

In our second episode, the guys break down their approach to mixing in an immersive environment. They share about each of their processes, how the audience affects their mix, and what drives their decision making in the moment. 

Episode Highlight:

"The piece I was missing when I first started mixing was the intimacy part. I was just coming out hard, running it so loud in a small, tiny room. So I learned to grow with dynamics and take people on a journey." - Tyler
