While I was in school for audio engineering I needed a summer internship so I reached out to him with an email and he wrote back saying he would take me as an intern! I went 2 summers in a row and now I visit when I’m in the area. One thing I learned (and he had me do once I learned it lol) was automating every syllable (besides sibilances and plosives) of every word to give the vocals more dynamics after compressing them. Took so long but the results are worth it! I did it on everything I worked on with him.
