RECORDING / ENGINEERING
ANDREW WADE ON HIS RECORDING / ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES:
"I take time to make sure everything sounds its best when going in (to the computer). When I record the performer, I interact. I think most engineers don't motivate their clients to perform their best. I like to make the recording sound like a glorified live performance instead of a digital performance."
