Josh Bonanno is a mixing engineer based out of Nashville, TN, USA! In our second conversation on the podcast, Josh catches us up to date and we talk about so much, including how he tries to spread knowledge and build community on the internet, the weird state of the social media platforms, and the real life community in Nashville. We chat about having patience, quantity leading to quality, trusting your room and speakers, using the rough mix as a bible, and how deliverables are changing the way people mix. We also go deep on his minimalist approach to mixing, surprising his clients with some artistic touches, getting over a hustle mindset and taking the time to rest, and so much more!
