Mix Engineer Mike Miller

Mike Miller is a great example of the latest generation of
recording mixers. Mike started as a musician, playing piano at
age 4, later switched to guitar and as a teenager he began
touring with bands whose members were much older. Recording with
those bands introduced Mike to the studio and he was instantly
captivated and knew that was what he wanted to do.


His early success as a producer doing most of the tasks involved
in making records eventually led him to specialize in mixing.
Mike started out in his home town of Rochester, NY, not noted as
a recording center, but he was able to capture success there.
Eventually, however, he needed to move to cities where the
business was, including, New York and Los Angeles. He has moved
to LA and developed relationships with many people in the music
business who were impressed by his talent and ambition. They
offered him advice and guidance, and Mike feels that it is
important to pass that knowledge along to those who are just
starting out.


Mike recorded his side of the conversation in his studio in Los
Angeles using a Flea 47 microphone into a Hazelrigg Industries
VLC mic preamp, and recorded to Pro Tools. My side was recorded
in my studio in Pennsylvania using a Flea 49 mic into a D.W.
Fearn VT-2 mic preamp, Merging Technologies converter and
recorded in Pyramix. The final 24-bit, 96kHz PCM recording was
processed through individual VT-4 equalizers and and VT-7
Compressor.
