Alabama Shakes producer, Shawn Everett, almost burned out working on the War on Drugs’ latest album A Deeper Understanding. Bandleader and songwriter, Adam Granduciel, recorded the album in six different studios, often redoing songs from scratch over and over again, and re-mixing the songs at each stop along the way. Everett broke down the ‘crazy’ process of trying to chase the ghost of Bob Clearmountain and those classic ’80s records. Andy Szikla continues breaking down preamp design by building his own.
