\"\"<\/p>\n

While listening to the melodies of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy I always thought it would be interesting to meet the man behind the mixing boards. Well, his name is Andrew Dawson. The Los Angeles Times recently chopped it up with him about his involvement on Kanye’s album.<\/p>\n

Describe how you started working with Kanye West. And what do you think it\u2019s taken for you to be successful working with him prior to his latest album?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Kanye was halfway through “The College Dropout,” he\u2019d fired about six to eight engineers in about a month because they weren\u2019t up to snuff, and it was eventually my turn to be next on the chopping block. I haven\u2019t been fired since, seven or eight years later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
