Jonathan Friedlander is an audio engineer, music producer, mixing engineer, and the owner of Quality Sound, based in Jerusalem, Israel! In our second chat on the air, Jon talks about adjusting his studio to the pandemic, always getting better at his craft, and making sure to get credit for his work. He goes deep on his approach to recording vocals, working fast, recording and mixing drums, and his approach to mixing with parallel compression. We also chat about monitoring, capturing dynamics in live recordings, dealing with time management, the benefits of having interned at the beginning of his career, and so much more!
