Episode 2

Step inside Southern Grooves with Grammy-winning engineer Matt Ross-Spang as he explores one of music’s most powerful (and forgotten) tools: the echo chamber.

Across two episodes, Matt walks you through:

• The history of echo chambers and how legends like Phil Spector and the Abbey Road engineers used them

• The unique acoustic design of his custom-built Memphis chamber

• How mic placement, speaker choice, and room angles affect reverb tone

• Reverb shaping techniques using EQ, pre-delay, and plugin emulations

• Real mixing decisions using stems from a Margo Price track
