In this week’s podcast Russ and Sara are joined by William Wittman. They discuss mixing, specifically the mistakes they keep seeing, or making. Over-compression? Monitoring too loud? Not using a reference? Confusing louder with better? There are so many pitfalls, which do they single out as their personal bugbear?
