ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thank you:
to Rebecca, Harley and Ella,
to the Ronchinis and the Lellis Ferreiras,
to Stefano, Jules and Jessie,
to all the musicians, engineers, producers and music industry professionals I have worked with,
to all my students past and present, for allowing me to learn with them.

NOTE

This book is comprised of different kinds of information. Some of it is what I believe recordists and producers need to know, while the rest is what I think they may choose to know. From my experience, knowledge commonly equates to confidence, a very valuable asset in music production.

The observations and suggestions presented here come from a lifetime in music. Whether performing, recording, mixing, mastering, producing or teaching I have been immersed in a musical universe from as early as I can remember.

Music has given me something to believe in and it has brought love into my life. If you feel as I do about it, then this book is dedicated to you.
