Does Anyone Actually Care Anymore?

In this edition Julian and Ashea are joined by Luke Goddard and Paul Maunder, where they discuss tried and tested production rules and ask, does anyone care about that anymore and if so, why?

Talking Points:

• Being in the room with the artist/client, is it still necessary? Does it even matter?
• Have listeners' ears become accustomed to things like Auto tune, heavy compression, would anyone care if we stopped doing these things?
• Loudness Wars- does anyone care anymore?
• Mix Assistants E.g EZ mix, is it cheating?

Finds of the week:

Julian:Using what you already have in the studio (Carbon story, Caldigit Ethernet, audio key on piano)
Ashea: Audio Ease- Speakerphone 3
Paul: BlackMagic UltraStudio Recorder
Luke:  Leaf Audio
