I recently completed mixes for a twenty-episode video series produced by Wistia set for release later this month. It involved two narrators and over a dozen different interviewees in as many locations. As you might have guessed, mixing that amount of talent recorded at various locations presented a number of challenges—from different room acoustics to vocal timbres to background noise.
