Description
Mike Watts is a New York based producer, engineer, and mixer who operates VuDu Studios. He has worked with tons of great artists in the indie/punk scene such as As Tall As Lions, Glassjaw, The Deerhunter, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and so many more. Not only is he a great engineer, but he also has put a lot of focus into business and marketing which allowed him to completely start over after abandoning a successful job in the catering industry in order to focus on music. As you’ll hear in this interview, it takes much more than audio skills to have success as an audio engineer.
