I confess. This part of the website has gotten stale, and I haven't put up anything new in months. Some things I've taken down already, and will probably remove some more stuff as soon as I post some new things. If you have any (good) ideas, let me know.
Some topics I have in mind are about recording and especially mastering a CD. A lot of what I hear these days has too much compression! You artists are letting some 'mastering' engineer squeeze all the life out of your record!! If you have wondered why your CD sounds different from the mix-that's why! This part of making a CD is a mystery to most artists, so I'll attempt to fill you in on what this process is really all about, and what to watch out for.
There's also a stack of pictures I have of 'vintage' gear from the studios I use that might be of interest-old mikes, vintage equalizers, and a $35,000 tube compressor that survived a studio fire.
