On Episode 125 the hosts are joined by Sean "Sully" Sullivan , who has over 26 years of  Touring and Television Mixing experience. They talk about the expectation of a "Record" quality mix coming out of our live consoles even when you are not a "studio engineer". Sully talks about some of his experiences with system engineers from one-offs to tours and how he handles those situations. They discuss one of Sully's first tours with Prince, and how Prince would mix FOH and Monitors from the stage while playing. Sully talks about micing techniques and balance when working with pianos on artists like Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, and Sarah McLachlan.
