This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg Mackender. Greg is the associate professor of sound at the University of Missouri – Kansas City where he teaches Hard Disk Recording and Sound Scoring. Professor Mackender has a long history of music, audio exploration, and being at the breaking edge of audio innovation where he was one of the early implementors of digital audio.  Notes Greg works primarily in theatre as a Sound Designer Started out with a love for science that turned into a love for audio Early implementor of digital audio You don’t always need college or a training program to learn audio. It’s often better to buy the right gear initially to create better work. Maintain a creative dojo where you hone your craft. Sometimes you need to step away from your craft in order to rejuvenate your creativity You’re only as good as the weakest link in your signal chain. The readiness is all. Be ready. Resources  Greg’s recommended book: Genesis Of A Music: An Account Of A Creative Work, Its Roots, And Its Fulfillments by Harry Partch   Shure SM63, Shure PG56, Shure SM57, Shure SM58   AKG C414   Universal Audio Apollo   Focusrite Scarlett 2i2   Lewitt LCT 940   Thanks again to everyone for checking out the podcast. Every listen gets us closer to the next interview. If you’d like to support the SDA Podcast even more, write us a review at iTunes. Reviews drive everything for us on that space, and we read every single one. Thanks again guys.Keep on learning!Michael HeuerSound Design AcademyThe post SDA 003: It’s the Journey Not the Destination with Greg Mackender appeared first on Sound Design Academy.
