The 13th Note Podcast - Art of Mastery : Mastery in Front of the House

Jay Barth doesn’t mix records—he mixes real time.
In this episode, Jeff Spike Wong talks with FOH engineer Jay Barth, who’s been behind the board for KISS, Rod Stewart, Bob Seger, and Cheap Trick.
Jay shares how Motown shaped his listening ear, what it takes to mix for 30,000 people without a second chance, and why being “invisible” is sometimes the goal.
They talk about:
Learning from chaos on tour
Why live sound starts long before the first note
How to mix music you didn’t grow up listening to—and still make it slam
The hidden pressure of running a world-class show from the back of the room
This is what it takes to be trusted by legends when it counts most.
