Ruby Smith is a music producer, audio/mixing engineer, and artist based out of Berlin, Germany! In this episode, Ruby shared her journey moving to London from Australia and later to Berlin, working in large studios and working as a freelance producer and engineer. We discussed her solo artist project and how she works with other artists, her approach to mixing, why she loves analog reverb, why community is so important (in her words: "without the people, it's just gear"), and so much more!
