My guest today is Frank Filipetti, a producer, engineer, mixer, and a seven-time Grammy winner. Frank has worked with many artists, including Foreigner, KISS, Carly Simon, The Bangles, Barbra Streisand, Ray Charles, Billy Joel, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Elton John, Rod Stewart, and Paul McCartney, to name a few. Frank talks to us from his home in Connecticut about his journey, which I think you'll enjoy very much. In this episode, we discuss:Parental ImpactGrammar School BandPhysics to MusicLosing Record DealsTransition to Recording at 30Right Track RecordingPeter AsherNiko BolasVal GarayMETAllianceStarting LateSurvivalAlan MyersonDealing with DoubtSticking With ItAssessing CareerLearning EverydayStudio in ConnecticutLiving Outside of Recording HubsFinancesMatt's Rant: Protecting your Ears!Links and Show NotesFrank's site: http://frankfilipetti.com/bio/METAlliance: https://www.metalliance.com/WCA on Instagram: @working_class_audioConnect with Matt on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattboudreau/Current sponsors & promos: https://bit.ly/2WmKbFwCredits:Guest: Frank FilipettiHost: Matt Boudreau Engineer: Matt BoudreauProducer: Matt BoudreauEditing: Anne-Marie Pleau & Matt BoudreauWCA Theme Music: Cliff Truesdell Announcer: Chuck SmithAdditional Music: The License Lab
