So good! Love the band, and now love Catherine too. Even though this series was a bit higher level, I really enjoyed the more arranging and music-making perspective, over lower-level details. I enjoy the talk about career arc, artist relationships, relating to the music itself and its emotion, and hearing about techniques and gear. And FWIW, I do a similar thing OTB for parallel… one I/O to comp, other I/O just out and back in again. People think I’m crazy, and I’d love to spare the I/O, but I swear there’s a difference lol.

I think her background provides some important context.. and advice on when/why to keep your mouth shut.

This is one of the best, Amazingly put. Very inspiring!!

Fantastic! Catherine is very generous and I love her sounds. This series is full of gems and new ways of looking at things. It would be great to see her mixing something from scratch!

Fantastic. I love the excitement she brings to this. I guess I only wish that she went more granular into how she processed individual tracks.

Love it. Catherine is fantastic! I dig her vibe. I had the pleasure of mixing at Assault and Battery 1 London. Amazing mix room. Catherine was not there; Caesar Edmonds was our guy.

I love LOVE this. So passionate, so many good ideas. Random, I was re watching that Nevermind docu last night where Butch Vig was explaining that same process to make that crazy huge guitar sound. It works so well here. The last Boygenius is so good too. Thanks for this session.
