HOWDY(that's Texan for hi)

I'm Michael Lewis, a mix specialist and live engineer splitting my time between the studio, front of house, and a startup. All three are the same chase: a mix that hits.

I've logged 312+ studio mixes and a decade of tours, all with the same goal: make it sound like the artist meant it.

Rig walkthroughs, fly racks, mix tricks, and the occasional bad idea. This panel keeps itself current.

I just talk in Claude Code now. Finish a mix, tell it to upload to the right folder and follow the nomenclature. It's like having an assistant. Full video on YouTube @michaelkeithlewisClearVoice Live is 299, De-Feedback is 499, VoiceISO is 199, and Supertone Clear is 69 and it's the one I actually rate. Full review on YouTube @michaelkeithlewisI made a fart plugin. Best use of my $200 a month subscription. It's free on GitHub. Full video on YouTube @michaelkeithlewisSeptember 15th, Samply went down. Worth remembering the cloud is not a backup. Full review on YouTube @michaelkeithlewisVoiceISO says it strips the noise out of a vocal at zero latency. Here it is on a real live vocal, without it and with it. I could barely hear it working. Full review on YouTube @michaelkeithlewisClearVoice Live says it pulls the noise, the reverb and the feedback out of a live vocal at zero latency. I ran it against the plugin I actually use, on Caleb's vocal from Colony House at the Pinnacle, with the mic sat right in front of the drum kit. On held notes it hears the fundamental as feedbaAn honest pitch for Truck Packer, from the guy who built it. A single semi runs eight to ten grand a week. A lot of tours haul one more than they need because nobody planned the pack before load in. I spent ten years loading trucks off chalk marks and a spreadsheet, so I built the thing I wanted.

ClearVoice Live vs De-Feedback

Hear it yourself

Open in Samply →

This is the sample from the video. One Colony House live vocal, 17 seconds of it, run through De-Feedback and every ClearVoice Live setting I tried. Start at the top and work down. 09b is the ClearVoice 1.15 build, and the last one is VoiceISO in Full mode from the follow-up video. Headphones help.
