When I was 20 years old I met a lifelong friend, Wes West, who at 16 was already quite an engineer. His father toured the world and sold millions of albums and happened to be someone who's records I bought when I was a kid. We had the run of a killer studio and we made terrible records and loved every second of it! I learned to "tapeop" and cut tape and to engineer and I was hooked for good. I wanted to do THAT. I'd say that while learning what mic to use where was important, what I really valued was learning the art of production. Getting into the mind of the artist and coaxing their best out of them.I owe Gary and Wes a lot. I love them and if you have the means, hunt Wes down, he's a monster.

I had the chance to record many years later with Big Shirt (FOH) and Clown from Slipknot. Big Shirt taught me "it isn't the hammer, it's the carpenter." And Clown taught me to go all out or go home (and that I looked an awful lot like Dimebag). I also owe them a lot.

Unfortunately I also learned how to spend a ton of money in a per-hour studio and not having time to get my tracks how I wanted them. I wanted a better way than by-the-hour. Nothing kills art more than stress.I try to alleviate it at ALLCAPS.

This isn't a state-of-the-art facility but it is a place that cares how your vision is realized.

Let's be real here. I'm not a webmaster, I'm not a salesman. I'm a nice guy and I try hard. I've worked with some amazing people and I think most of them would say they'd work with me again. Thanks for your consideration.
