Nerding out to be featured in one of my favorite magazines ever. Thank you TapeOp and Lisa M for the conversation!
In this conversation with Lisa Machac (of Omni Sound Project), she opens up about her unconventional journey in the industry, her passion for creating a nurturing environment for artists, and the art of balancing technical prowess with raw emotion in the studio.

Using Transformers: to Transform Audio
I've now tried transformers for processing all types of sources, and have fallen in love with many of the sounds I'm getting. My favorites so far have been a pair of vintage Triad HS-66s, as they add a mid-range thickness to the signal that really warms things up without obscuring the lows or the highs. On a full mix they add a heft and three-dimensional quality to the sound that, while certainly not achieving the full effect, leans in the direction of a vintage console. On individual instruments they have a fattening effect that's especially cool on kick drum and bass guitar. Pushing the signal can drive the transformer into distortion — sometimes a desirable lo-fi sound. In one case I was tracking male/female duet vocals for the Brooklyn group The Loom, and found that the female singer had a strong midrange warmth that made the male voice sound a little thin in that area. By patching in one of the Triads after the compressor in his vocal chain, his sound warmed up just enough to match hers beautifully. Without disrupting the flow of the session, the transformer gave me just that little bit of harmonic complexity that I needed. It was like stirring a little more flour into the gravy, thickening to taste.
