5 - Interview with Warren Huart

On Episode #05 of Sweetwater’s Plugged In podcast, Mitch is joined by none other than Warren Huart, the prolific industry force who wears numerous hats, including producer, recording engineer, mixing engineer, composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. His work has made him a multi-platinum producer whose work throughout the decades transcends lines of genre and style, in addition to scoring several major Hollywood, film, and television projects. To put it mildly, Warren knows quite a bit about recording, and he was joined by Sweetwater’s studio scholar, Mitch Gallagher, during a recent excursion to Sweetwater Studios. Dive in with Warren and Mitch for a multifaceted discussion on miking techniques, the nuances of recording guitars, how to record amps in high-end studios, and more. Perhaps most intriguing, however, is the subject of amp modeling. What does it mean for the modern studio, the history of recording techniques, and the evolution of sound? Mitch and Warren cover all this and more on this episode of Plugged In!
