My guest this week is my old friend 17 time Grammy winner Benny Faccone.

Benny has a rich credit history with artists like Mana, Santana, Ricky Martin, Luis Miguel, Sting, and so many more.

He’s a veteran of the old A&M Studios when it was one of the hottest recording facilities in Los Angeles.

That’s where he honed his recording and mixing skills under old school legends like Bruce Swedien, Shelly Yakus, and Don Hahn.

He’s also a die-hard analog guy, still mixing on a console and using real outboard gear when he can. 

During the interview we talked about learning from industry legends, the plugins he uses and why, converting his studio to solar energy, getting caffeine poisoning from too much coffee, and much more.

I spoke with Benny from his studio in just outside of Los Angeles.
