Westlake Pro, a leading retailer of professional audio, recording, live sound equipment, and technical services has posted the first two videos in a new Mixing Master Class series with veteran mixing engineer Tony Shepperd.

Shepperd, a prolific engineer who has recorded and mixed such music heavyweights as Take 6, Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones, Diana Ross, Madonna, Kenny Loggins, Boyz II Men and more, deconstructs his mix of Sheléa's hit single I'll Never Let You Go as he talks about his workflow and his vocal production technique, which have become his specialty over the past two decades.

"It was an honor for us to host Tony Shepperd," said Peter Malick, Director of Online Content for Westlake Pro. "The depth of knowledge that he shares with our customers and viewers is a testament to his willingness to further the craft of recording, mixing, and producing."

Co-sponsored by A-Designs Audio, the master class was filmed at Westlake Pro in Los Angeles in front of an overflow crowd of more than 100 local musicians, producers, and engineers and is divided into 14 videos of easily digestible content and cover a wide variety of mixing topics. Shepperd's relaxed presentation style demystifies complex mixing concepts and he takes questions from the audience throughout the series as well as during a Q&A at its conclusion.
