Jeff Ellis: Engineering Frank Ocean

After 5 years working with enigmatic R&B trailblazer, Frank Ocean, engineer Jeff Ellis talks art, monitoring and a microphone technique called 'The Chicago Jingle' for getting the sound of a large ensemble from few players. Jeff speaks about his break in the L.A. music industry, his evolving approach to audio engineering, and how a typical session starts in the recording studio. Jeff explains his vocal mixing techniques for Frank Ocean, recorded using the Telefunken U47. He then details his favourite techniques, plugins, effects and audio hardware that he uses for music production.
