Our guest today is John Baldwin - a mastering engineer from Nashville, TN.
John has worked with Lou Reed, Sly Stone, Emmylou Harris, Nancy Sinatra, Glossary, and The Jesus Lizard.
We talk about persistence in getting an internship, not convoluting the process, leaning on Brian Eno for guidance, retraining yourself to not “grind” yourself until defeat, and getting outside to do things unrelated to mastering.
This episode’s music is brought to you by Maggie Mae from Philadelphia, PA. For more information on Maggie Mae, head to: https://www.maggiemaemusic.com
