IAIB SPOTLIGHT : Mike Phillips Interview

[Dan Ortego]

Last night I couldn't sleep so I came on the forum to poke around. I just happened across this thread and decided to watch the interview and I'm glad I did. As a newbie' it was enlightening to hear the history of Mike's career and the questions and issues presented by Andrew.

It also reinforced some of what I've already learned from other sources regarding equipment. In particular, the last third of the interview touched on microphones, pre's and mixers and it was great how Mike explained things' in a way that made sense. Most notably, Mike’s comments regarding equipment that may not be properly set-up whereas a compressor/gate may serve more as a Band-Aid rather than addressing a real problem.

I learned a lot so thanks to both of you.
