Mitch Gallagher sits down with Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Ross Hogarth. Ross has worked with artists such as Gov’t Mule, Roger Waters, The Black Crowes, Shawn Colvin, John Mellencamp, R.E.M., Jewel and many more.
Ross was visiting Sweetwater to present Retro Instruments recording equipment such as their OP-6 ribbon mic preamp. Ross is a big fan of using ribbon mics in the studio, and took the time to give an extensive presentation on why he likes Retro Instruments preamps and processors.
Ross explains how he got started working with music, starting on drums before exploring stringed instruments. As he developed his listening skills, he realized that he was more interested in working with producers to realize their potential than he was in being a musician himself. His award-winning work with world-class artists suggests he made a good choice.
Enjoy the interview, there are a lot of useful insights here for both musicians and engineers!
