Bob Clearmountain is a legendary engineer, mixer, and producer who has worked with iconic artists such as David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Guns N Roses, and many more.
It’s a rare opportunity to sit down with someone of his stature (because, well, hardly anyone on the planet has the resume that Bob does)- someone who can draw on the lessons learned from decades of experience, but is just as excited about the future.
