Audio Engineer · Problem Solver

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 211+ 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.

if you take locks off trailers for a living, quit setting them down somewhere. pop it open and clip it right back onto the hasp. it stays with the door all day and it's already there when you close up. no walking the fender with a phone light at the end of the night looking for a lock somebody set We built a thing that measures your cases with your phone. Point it at the case, AR and LiDAR do the math, and the dimensions land straight in your Truck Packer case list. No tape measure, no guessing on the road case that has been beat to death since 2016. Closed beta right now, DM me if you want iStagehand doorbell. This might be the new thing... one click and help is on the way. Now I need one for my house. #livesound #fohengineer #touring #festivalMic stands are more of a suggestion anyways. #tourlife #audioengineering #stagesetup #behindthescenesWho needs punchy low end and perfect imaging anyways. Normalize nobody standing center at front of house. #fohengineer #livesoundZero shame in the trigger game. When the floor tom lives two inches from the sub, no amount of tuning or dampening is getting you rock show volume. #livesound #audioengineer #mixer #truckpackerStill one of my favorite little tricks for pre show music. Artist radio, minus the artist. Tip via @michael.lehmann.89 at the Ogden. #audioengineer #fohengineer #touringIt’s like watching DaVinci paint the Mona Lisa.
