Recently, TBeats and their staff took a trip to L.A. to meet with Grammy Award winning mix engineer, Dave Pensado.
Dave Pensado is a Grammy Award-winning mix engineer. He cut his teeth in Atlanta in the 1970s and 1980s doing live and studio sound engineering. In 1990 he moved to Los Angeles. He mixes between 200 and 250 songs a year, and has a residency at Larrabee Studios in Los Angeles. On September 12, 2011, he started a weekly show called Pensado’s Place with Herb Trawick. The show is about engineering techniques and interviews a guest Mixer, Producer or Artist each episode.
On July 20, 2013, Dave Pensado and Herb Trawick hosted an event at Vintage King Los Angeles called “Pensado Gear Expo 2013.” More than one thousand people from around the world attended. 22-time Grammy Award winning engineer, Al Schmitt, Steven Slate, Alex da Kid, Ryan Hewitt, and Robert Duncan[disambiguation needed] were a few of the featured guests of the expo.
The trip was more than successful. After a tour of the facility, Dave and Tony Thompson of TBeats sat down to discuss the latest trends in the industry, how to improve upon sounds, methodology and more. Dave and Tony have become fast friends. TBeats plans to work with him professionally in the near future.
