Secret Sonics 158 - Tim O'Sullivan - Fostering Inspiration in the Studio

Tim O'Sullivan is a music producer, audio engineer, and mixing engineer based out of LA, CA, USA! In our second chat on the podcast, Tim brings us up to date and shares what he's done since our last conversation; the closing of Barefoot Recording, setting up an Atmos room for Greg Wells, touring with Chicano Batman, and setting up his own studio in Frogtown. He goes deep on working on the latest Rayland Baxter record, using weird gear and instruments to inspire artists, and focusing the build of his new studio to cater to creative work flows. We also chat about commiting to sounds, new deliverables for mixers, getting stems to add up, having a manager, figuring out what to eliminate to do the work you want to do, and so much more! Check it out!
