Education
Gearslutz - If you really study this site you can get a significant education. Many of the "big boys" are here (Gear designers as well as top producers and engineers.) So be humble...you don't know... you might be speaking to Bob Clearmountain. Chuck Ainley or George Martin!! Also read the guest moderators...they've sold millions and millions of records so they gotta know something. Eh?
Tape Op - Subscribe...it's free....learn alot.
ProSound Web - Another forum site. Heavy hitters here too.
Learning About Microphones - One mans labor of love and give back to humanity...humbling.
Music People
Correy Forbes - My friend in the Turks and Caicos islands Hire his band if you want to do an island wedding. He can help you set up all the wedding arrangements as well. Been to Correy's house....he lives in paradise 24/7 and only comes here to record in August. Ha. You betcha! Most beautiful place I have ever seen. Still primitive beauty. Go There.
Roger Larson - If you have broke gear, Roger can fix it. Also, Roger is a killer mixer having mixed numerous Vegas shows and that's the big time baby! Also Roger can handle all your video needs...both recording and editing. True A/V dude.
Jim Bohn - Jimmy's a true heavy hitter. His diverse life reflects in his deep lyrical content. A quote from the movie Diner...."Hey Boog...you think there's something goin on here we don't know about?"
Ray Last Music - Welcome to 1968 for the glory of Jesus Christ. Curious...buy Ray's disk...there's nothing like it out there. Sitar, oboe, cello, accordion, trumpet, violin, tablas... I can't even remember all we tracked. Quite a cool project.
Finbar Mac Carthy - See him live then pick-up his latest disk. You can't have more fun on a Friday night than Finbar live.
