Let's have a little history lesson: How did you get into this business?
At some point in my life I realised that I my two favorite things were music and electronics and that it would be wonderful to make a living by putting those two together. I took a job in a small (3 people) equipment manufacturing company, building tube guitar amps and 4x12 cabinets and later mixing boards and studio equipment. We had a little studio where we could demo our equipment and I realised that working with the stuff was way cooler than building it. So I opened my first studio in Hamburg Gemany, oddly enough, called Tennessee Studio, with a Soundworkshop console, Studer 2" 16 track and Altec 604 speakers. Luckily, with all that unbooked time on my hands (and with the help of a band that was rehearsing next door), I had a lot of opportunity to learn about studio equipment and recording. After engineering a few projects I got to work as an engineer with Dokken on their first album. They "elevated" me form engineer to producer after a few days of total chaos. They had brought their US strobe tuners, which ran on 60 HZ, but in Germany we have 50 Hz mains power, so everything was horridly out of tune. Guess I got lucky that way.
What's your story?
