"One year, I made 144 trips to NYC going to seminars, Q&A panels on Songwriting, production, and the list goes on. It seemed everyone was determined to make sure we (the audience) knew how their success was achieved, who worked on the project with them, and what tools or equipment was responsible for the end result. But wait! They were all great stories, but somehow the solutions I needed were left out of the mix…. Secrets of the Pros has the information that does get results. Thanks for all you do." - Lee Demers (Electric Ensemble Studios)
"The “Secrets of the Pro’s” videos are clearly presented, and easy to understand with concise information that anyone can learn from. They are an excellent introduction to the recording studio. A must for anyone learning the art of recording and mixing. Great job!" - Karl Derflur (Producer, Engineer, The Who, No Doubt, Talking Heads, Dave Matthews Band, Tom Waits, Live, Smash Mouth)
"These videos are well-formatted and easy to understand. Simply a must for anyone with a home recording set up. Crucial info about setting up your studio and acoustics…specifics about tracking guitars, vocals and drums … they cover it all." - Jason Stokes (Recording Engineer, Grammy Award winner Outkast (2001 Rap Album of the Year Grammy winner for Stankonia), R.E.M., Toni Braxton, Matchbox 20, Mariah Carey)
