Neal Pogue: How Producing and Mixing are like Being Onstage

“Being in tune with all those colors and senses & how it over takes  me; it makes me so reactive when it comes to mixing & producing. Just being in tune with certain things, it’s such a spiritual thing. To me producing & mixing a song is like going on stage. It’s that moment of the unknown, but going by your instincts of what to do at that moment and just going with it. Having some type of fear & hoping people are feeling what you’re feeling.” This week we have Producer, Mixer, and Engineer Neal Pogue! Recently won GRAMMYs for Tyler, the Creator’s IGOR and Call Me If You Get Lost in  2020 & 2022 respectively. We talk about his mix process, where he draws inspiration, and balancing life & work including projects as being an in demand professional.
