In a break from the norm we have Eli, Emma and Audrey presenting the Production Expert Podcast. Talking points include which plug-ins they reach for when starting a mix and what they do to improve their skills, something which is particularly relevant in an industry in which so many freelancers don’t have the regular contact with colleagues and peers which people in other industries enjoy.
