Ever wonder what it takes to make Benson Boone sound flawless every night, without the engineer even being in the room?

In this exclusive conversation, Joey Diehl, Benson Boone’s Front-of-House Engineer, pulls back the curtain on his unique mixing setup where he controls the entire show from a separate room in the back. We talk about his life, career path, and how this cutting-edge workflow changes the way fans experience live music.

We also dive into the emotional side of touring, the balance between technology and intuition, and how both our stories intersect in the pursuit of perfect sound.
