I love the creative and technical aspects of all types of tracking.  It's very important to me to get the sounds right at the source, rather than having a fix it in the mix mentality.  I'm well versed on a variety of consoles including SSL, Neve, API, and Neotek large format consoles.  I'm also very familiar with hybrid, analogue and digital tracking setups.  I've been chief engineer on sessions that range from 1- 48 simultaneous recording channels and large amounts of headphone mixes.
