Michael and Willa chat with Ashton Parsons, who mixes monitors for Disturbed and has also worked with Animals as Leaders, 98 Degrees, Bush, Anthrax, Fifth Harmony, Daya, Daughtry, Papa Roach, and many more, as monitor engineer, FOH engineer, tour manager, playback tech, and a variety of other production roles. Ashton gives some helpful guidance about mixing in-ear monitors and communicating with artists, and we discuss Willa's sandwich crust preferences.
