Dave Pensado

Pensado's Place

Dave worked out of Larrabee Studios in Los Angeles where he mixed on an SSL. It was around 2010 that he discovered he was doing better mixes in-the-box than on a console, and by Pro Tools 11, he couldn’t beat what he was doing with a DAW. Of course, Dave champions whatever method best enhances the individual engineer’s creativity, and speaks about the importance of being receptive to new techniques. This might include, for example, using certain plug-ins that allow panning of specific frequencies–a helpful hint he gave us for keeping mixes interesting!
