This week we spoke with production sound mixer and re-recording mixer Stephen Tibbo.

Stephen is a winner of two Emmy Awards and a CAS Award for “Best Production Sound” through his association with the hit ‘mockumentary’ TV series Modern Family. Stephen is also an accomplished sound re-recording mixer who has worked on dozens of webisodes, short and independent films such as Madison County, American Pie 2, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Contracted and many others.

We discussed what is has been like to work on more then 130 episodes of Modern Family and the creative and technical challenges to capturing clean tracks while keeping up with the large ensemble cast.
