Producer, Mixing Engineer, Songwriter and Musician. It was truly an honor to chat with one of my favorite producers ever: Carson Slovak of Atrium Audio. He is known for working along Grant McFarland on numerous rock/metal records as well as other music genres. He has worked with bands like ERRA, August Burns Red, Lorna Shore, Polaris and many others. He is also known for playing in the infamous Star Wars cosplay/cover band, Galactic Empire.
