Thomas Weathers is a mixer, producer, and audio engineer based out of Denver, CO, USA. In our conversation Thomas shared his journey; committing to music, moving to Colorado, and maintaining a presence on the internet. We go deep on his approach to mixing inside of LUNA, using tech-forward stuff like the Slate VSX to help him reference and get quicker and better results, getting a big low end in hip hop music, and so much more! Check it out!
