More About the Author
My academic degree is in composition and arranging, which tends to influence my writing style toward the practical applications of technology in music. I get a big kick out of hearing from people who have been helped by my books. My aspirations in Junior High and High School were to become a recording engineer, so I read every book and magazine I could get my hands on. However, if I would have had someone tell me the stuff I write about today, when I was young, I would have been light years ahead in my early career.
Directly out of college I taught music in a college in Seattle for three years. I decided I would rather get out and do music so my wife (who I met while teaching college) and I formed a band and traveled for several years playing shows, clubs, and bars all over.
I taught recording classes for about 10 years while performing, which is where I began to develop a number of pragmatic explanations for complex recording tasks. Much of the material for my first books were a product of teaching these classes. In 1991, a buddy (Bob Sluys) and I produced "Killer Demos: Hot Tips and Cool Secrets for the Home Multitrack User. This video sold pretty well and started the machine in motion that would end up with my first book for MixBooks in 1996. Mike Lawson, the GM for MixBooks built a great library, which he ended up purchasing from Mix Magazine to start Artistpro.com. For Mike and Artistpro, I wrote several more books along with a complete online course, with online graded tests. Artistpro was eventually purchased by Thomson Publishing in Boston. Mike was acquired with the deal so I still work with him directly to build new tools for recordists around the world. So far, with Mike's help and my family's patience I have written more than 30 books about recording at the same time that I have produced many albums for Seattle artists.
I am currently with Hal Leonard Publishing. They represent the best in the publishing world and for me, the perfect culmination of a long road in the publishing business.

lame,
This review is from: Sound Advice on Developing Your Home Studio (InstantPro) (Paperback)
I feel sorry for those who spent $ this sells for at Guitar Center.This book told me nothing new nor did it offer any new perspective on helping some one rig their own personal studio. In fact 1/3 of the book rambles on about the philosophy of proper wiring. No pics, no graphics. Weak. I donated it to my local library after reading it. It took me 35 minutes to read the 82 pages of crap.
