Ep. 33 - Dave Pensado

Friends, this is a big one; Grammy-winning engineering legend Dave Pensado joins Henry and Dave for a conversation that is not to be missed. We get into how he got his start as a musician and engineer, what true mentorship means, and mixing his first all “in the box” number one record with Kelly Clarkson. Then we discuss taste versus technique, the famous tale of mixing the Christina Aguilera smash Beautiful, his NAMM TEC Award Hall of Fame induction, sharing wisdom for content creators, and developing the first ever plugin to bear his name, the Pensado EQ with Acustica.
