Richie Beretta is a music producer and mixing engineer originally hailing from NYC and currently based out of San Diego, CA, USA! In our conversation Richie and I go deep on the following:

Paul McCartney’s bass tone
Recording on Dad’s tape machine
Recording is stopping to capture a moment in time
The woes of pop culture and discontent over Art becoming content
Richie's quest for authenticity
Listening to music > making music
Mixing vs. producing
Richie's Bass tone + chain
Backing off on compression
What he still gets from analog gear
Being true to your taste in music

And so much more!
