4. Less Rigid, More Intuitive: An Evolved Approach to Recording and Mixing with John Fitzgerald

Today on AMM, Rick chats with his good friend, the self-proclaimed recordist extraordinaire, John Fitzgerald. Having learned production alongside one another throughout college and their early twenties, Rick and John reflect on the shared journey that wound up plopping them where they sit today. From late night acid trips to John’s experience interning at an acclaimed studio, this one has a little bit of everything.
