Notes: I have lived & worked in the studio environment almost my entire life. These studios are my 3rd & 4th pro-level home-based industry-standard recording studios. I work in both analog & digital, based on what is appropriate at each particular stage of recording, mixing & mastering. I get as deeply involved in each project as I am allowed to get. I like to define the essence of each artist & each project, and then use that vision & our abilities to bring the works to life, forming each work according to its own particular nature. What I ask is that our work be honorable, and that our work pleases God. I believe that excellence honors God.
