Alex Knight – PES 058

My guest is Alex Knight, producer/engineer at Hologram Radio, podcaster, and product manager at FeedPress.

Here’s the partial list of the topics we discussed and the wisdom that flowed in this session:

• Shure SM7B, into a Warm Audio WA-12 mic pre (which models an old API), into a dbx 266 (for a little bit of compression)
• Aphex 204 aural exciter
• Mackie VLZ1604, analog mixer with 8 direct outs
• Avid M-box 3 (interface)
• Pro Tools, sometimes Audition
• Studio in living room with L-shaped IKEA desk, some acoustic panels, mic boom arms
• 6 channel headphone amp
• A 14U rack of gear and a patch bay! wow
• dbx 286 channel strip
• FabFilter Pro-Q 2 (for some low cut filtering)
• Using Compressors, de-essers, expanders
• Normalize each track to -19 LUFS
• Music pre-loaded in a template
• LM-Correct 2 (Loudness plugin)

Listen to the full episode for all the juicy production tips 😉

Thanks for hangin’ with me and delivering the goods, Alex!
