About
I am an eclectic recording engineer and software engineer whose musical passions are playing guitar and prog rock (and almost every other genre). I have worked in 4 major studios and 3 smaller ones, plus a remote truck and 2 homes. I've recorded all kinds of music, from rock to gospel to jingles, with the famous as well as the infamous. Check my production company and current clients out at:
Finished Dave Small's CD (DaveSmall Finesmith in Second Life), SmallSongs I, and it is currently for sale in Second Life as an SLCD (mp3s) or here from Snocap (or us), we are waiting on digital distribution, then, iTunes, etc, here we come!
I mixed Prisoner of the Soul on SmallSongs I. Check it and his other songs (and some to be on future CDs) out from the Lemon Lady icon, above.
The Bullett songs are all remastered! Listen to some that I engineered above. And buy and listen to them ALL at Bullett's page :
This source material was, in some cases, over 30 years old and not the best; in some cases, cassettes. The sound quality will vary but a good song is a good song and we did the best we could to restore them. Someday we hope to locate the 24-track masters and remix them. But until that day... We kind of like that this is how they were mixed then and originally sounded, no tricks, so, in a way we like that they are original and reflect the times.
Thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy some of my stuff.
