George Massenburg
"By any measure, by meter or by ear, the Pro Tools|HD system is an exceptional piece of software and hardware engineering." George Massenburg, Producer/Mixer/Engineer
Multiple Grammy and TEC Award-winner George Massenburg is an internationally renowned producer, recording engineer and designer of audio equipment…a man in love with music, the art of reproduction and the recording process. He's been responsible for engineering some of the most respected recordings of the modern era, as well as developing and demonstrating that mainstay of the recording process, the parametric equalizer.
Whether he's working on collaborative mixes over the 'Net or on local projects, Massenburg relies on Pro Tools|HD for rapid, world-class results. "I do a lot of extended content for movies and for television, and I use Pro Tools|HD for everything — I use every feature of it and its every capability," Massenburg reports. "The sheer number of ways this is integrated into our workflow is staggering. I can't even begin to talk about the myriad ways it makes my life better than any other solution, and now I've got my MDW Hi-Res EQ plug-in, too."
"I'll bet that quite a few engineers out there couldn't pick the 192 I/O converters out against converters that cost much more," Massenburg continues, referring to Pro Tools|HD's flagship audio interface. "Even at that, it's not clear that whatever differences they perceive would be substantial. Recordists will undoubtedly be challenged by this new system: They'll no longer be able to blame their bad engineering techniques on Digidesign."
George Massenburg's formidable credits include Linda Ronstadt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Earth, Wind & Fire, Little Feat, Frank Sinatra, The Dixie Chicks, Billy Joel, Emmy Lou Harris, Roy Orbison, Lyle Lovett, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, and recently, Amanda Marshall and Aselin Debison.
