John Congleton (St. Vincent, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Explosions in the Sky) – Part 3: Gear

In this conversation between Grammy-Award winning producer/engineer John Congleton and Sonic Scoop’s Justin Colletti, Congleton talks about gear—specifically not letting it get in your way, utilizing non-fussy classics like SM7s, putting up as few microphones as possible on the drum set, figuring out the right pedal-chain for electric guitars, preserving dynamic control, and doing whatever you can to make the mix sound good.
