On today’s episode of The Tech Arts Podcast, we’re joined by one of the most in-demand mix engineers on the planet—Chris Rabold. If you’ve ever seen Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Kenny Chesney, Justin Bieber, Alicia Keys, or Norah Jones live, chances are you’ve experienced his work. Chris has mixed some of the biggest shows and most iconic artists on earth, shaping the sound behind stages that feel as massive as the audiences they reach.

In this conversation, Chris pulls back the curtain on the world of audio—from his origin story and early analog roots to his thoughts on plugins, signal chains, and the philosophy that drives his mixes. We talk about mixing with your ears (not your eyes), what separates good engineers from great ones, and why developing talent in churches starts with training people before buying more gear. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or part of a church tech team looking to raise the bar, this episode is packed with insights from one of the best in the business.
