Join me for a conversation with the man who defined the sound of modern fusion. From his early electronic roots to his career-defining work with Michael League and Snarky Puppy, Nic Hard explains how he captures massive ensembles without losing the human element. We talk drum miking, panning "wall-of-sound" arrangements, and why the drummer is the most important person in the room.

In this episode LA session ace Rob Humphreys joins me to discuss his journey from his musical beginnings to recording with icons like Leonard Cohen and Jason Mraz. We dive deep into his creative philosophy, from using unconventional gear and perfecting the engineer-drummer relationship to his essential advice for making it in the Los Angeles session scene. Make sure not to miss this one out!
