When I was a kid and I bought a record, I ripped that thing open, I wanted to know who was playing what, what studio it was cut at, who was the string arranger, who was the engineer.
In most cases, I think most executive producers and studio executives really do their best to accommodate you. At least, that's been my experience in most cases.
But in marketing, the familiar is everything, and that is controlled by the studio. That is reaching its apogee now.
I run into viewers all the time who have no idea I've moved to N.Y.C. I think, for many of them, a studio is a studio is a studio.
I've got perfectionist issues, as I can't seem to let tracks out the studio - it drives my manager nuts.
I learned so much about playing and touring being on the road and in the studio with Jeff, but I'd always played a lot of gigs in Seattle even prior to joining the Fusion.
