Doug Weier - Inside the Brain of a Hit Radio Mixing Engineer

Doug Weier is at the top of the game right now in mixing. Currently he has the #1 CCM radio song (Crowder / Somebody Prayed) and often up to 20% of the top 50 songs. He is a creative audio nerd! We talk his career path, and stories along the way. And his favorite AX - the Ibanez Iceman. In this our second episode we did it twice because again we forgot to hit record on the mics, and a main camera lol! So you get the best from both. I made it work (I think!) Going to get better technically each episode - stay tuned!Doug is a three-time Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum mix engineer based in Nashville, TN. Over his career, he has worked on numerous projects across various genres, contributing to multiple Billboard #1 singles.
