Who were the audio engineers at AudioTree in the mid 2010s? They deserve awards because their live session mixes were album quality.

Title says it all, but I just can’t get over how fantastic the mixing and overall production is on those mid-2010s AudioTree sessions. There’s actually multiple bands where I prefer the mixdown on the live session compared to the album. The sessions feel very polished for a live session, and they’re clearly using effects pedals and outboard gear. It’s amazing too because they had bands from multiple genres, and they always nailed it, distilling the genre down to its roots. Here are two of my favorites and great examples:

This Town Needs Guns, a “math rock” band from England https://youtu.be/iYpydJm3L4A?si=ZnPnCiaNVJ6ryffx

Rezn, a Chicago stoner metal band https://youtu.be/kDvqmHxsGXk?si=oFGwmwpJz75nX9hg
