Possibly the most ambitious insight into the recording process ever undertaken, Alan Parsons, along with producers Keyfax NewMedia, visited studios great and small during the making of the series, including, amongst many others:

Jack Joseph Puig (John Mayer, Green Day, Fergie),

John Fields (The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus),

Elliot Scheiner (The Eagles, Steely Dan)

Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, Slash),

Tony Brown (Dixie Chicks, George Strait),

Chuck Ainlay (Melissa Etheridge, Mark Knopfler),

Sylvia Massey (Beck, Tool),

Jimmy Douglass (Justin Timberlake, Timbaland),

Allen Sides (Phil Collins, Joni Mitchell)

Michael McDonald

Taylor Hawkins (The Foo Fighters).

Alan Parsons’ Art & Science Of Sound Recording looks at the recording process through the eyes and ears of someone who was trained at Abbey Road and who’s first job was working with The Beatles. Still very much alive and working, Alan applies his experience to the modern idiom of DAWs, plug-ins, HD storage, multiple file formats, samples, and all the other aspects of current recording technology. Sometimes it’s tough to find out how to mic a drumkit, or a choir, EQ a bass, or apply an in-time delay… you can Google it, sure, but who are these clowns and what have they recorded that means I should take note of what they say.

Alan Parsons, the man who engineered The Dark Side Of The Moon, is, after all, a man you can trust.
