Both Michael and Chris have spent a lot of time over the past year researching and learning effective uses for SPL monitoring in various applications.Jamie has been teaching and working in the field of sound system engineering, measurement and alignment for over 17 years. During his career, he has worked as a technical support manager and SIM instructor for Meyer Sound Laboratories, as a system engineer on tour for A-1 Audio (kd Lang) and UltraSound (Dave Matthews Band), and most recently, as a product manager and instructor for SIA and EAW.In the course of his professional career, Jamie has taught more than 350 SIM and Smaart classes, for over 5000 students (!), in over 20 countries on 6 continents. He has been the house system engineer for 4 Montreux Jazz Festivals and 6 Telluride Bluegrass Festivals, has worked with The Grateful Dead, Anita Baker and Louis Miguel Tours, and has been involved in hundreds of system alignments across a vast and diverse range of venues (studio to stadium) and applications (theatre, church, clubs, rock and roll tours, conventions, etc .)This episode is sponsored by: Audix Be sure to check out the Signal To Noise Facebook Group.

It's a good test of how well you know your workflow, console, and mixing philosophy. Ryan discusses his vocal chain approach along with other mixing techniques.
