Stephen Tibbo

Life and career Stephen Tibbo, a native to California, is married and has two daughters. Earlier in his life, Tibbo enjoyed playing golf, but when he started attending university, sound became his hobby. In 1989, Stephen Tibbo "mixed his first film and was hooked". The sound mixer stated that for shows with a plethora of spontaneity, such as Modern Family, using the MKH 8060 Sennheiser microphone is ideal, because it "is not only compact and lightweight, but it was designed to suppress off-axis sounds without coloration, making it ideal for boom camera mounting." Half of the year, Stephen Tibbo does post-production sound work, out of the studio at his residence.
