This lad is on point!! I carved my OG network by being the go to recording engineer and mixer in my area and became close friends with all the dopest artists… I’ve been preaching about the good hang vs skill level ratio my whole career… I always felt responsible for providing the vibe but the NO VIBE bar is the best description … I’m only 16minutes in but i love this ALOT

Yeah the vibe is half what the artists are paying us as producers for, right???? Too many engineers with the wrong title haha
