Left DSP, UPS, MIDI, etc. - Middle ProTools, Mac, UPS - Right Mic Pre's, Analog Processing.

Remixing at the late composer Basil Poledouris’ Blowtorch Flats studio (Venice, CA). When
traveling, the ProTools cabinet is housed in its own ATA flight case, “MOTHRAck”
(Mother Of All Racks?), which was custom made - like the other two cases in the pic - by
Kriz-Kraft of North Hollywood (now A&S Case Company). How’s the sailing up there, Basil?

Left Composer Eric Colvin - Right Director Simon Wincer

Recording session for the score to “NASCAR 3D - The IMAX Experience,” at what used to be
O’Henry Sound Studios (Burbank, CA). Seen in the pic, is Studio A's control room, featuring
the world’s largest fully discrete console - a custom API with 88 inputs and 5.1 monitoring.


Left Engineer Andre Knecht (yours truly) - Right Director Simon Wincer

Right Again, yours truly... in very good company! (Left)

At the 2004 NAMM Show (Anaheim, CA), the German company which manufactures
my speakers of choice, ADAM Audio, displayed a banner listing a few notables
among its users. Ahem...

Custom Moog Modular Synthesizer

There’s nothing virtual about this bad boy. Temperamental? You bet. But nothing else sounds
even remotely like it. It will rattle your sonic world (and blow your speakers, if you’re careless).
It crushes bones and liquefies internal organs. It will break your mama’s back!
