While many FOH engineers refine their mix by playing back Steely Dan's sounds, Mike "Coach" Conner makes it a reality nightly on tour with the band. Captivating audiences with unparalleled sonic fidelity, he achieves this through meticulous preparation and innovative use of both analog and digital tools. Conner seamlessly translates complex recordings into live experiences that rival the originals, ensuring every performance sounds as close to the studio recording as possible. With a decades-long career working with icons like Donald Fagen, Steely Dan, and Paul Simon, he has earned acclaim from both artists and fans alike.
