I should be taking notes for interviews.

Focusrite Frankenstein: Billy Perez and IIWII Studios

BY MICHAEL DUREK

Billy Perez is the manager of IIWII Studios ("It Is What It Is," part of the SST Production Facility) in Weehawken, New Jersey. Their already rare Focusrite console at IIWII was thought to be a goner when it was found soaking in five feet of saltwater after Hurricane Sandy struck. Billy explains why John Hanti, the studio's owner, decided to invest two years into the restoration of this unique console, what makes it unique, and how it fits into IIWII's vision.

Glyn Johns

Glyn Johns: Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Faces

BY LARRY CRANE, LARRY CRANE, NEAL CASAL

Any of us who record rock music are likely aware of Glyn Johns. His legacy in the recording studio spans many years, and includes some of the best bands ever. In the sixties he tracked seminal British Invasion works for the Rolling Stones, The Who, Small Faces, The Creation, and The Kinks. He even worked with The Beatles near the end of their career. Over the following years he produced and engineered Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, The Clash, Green on Red, Nanci Griffith, Belly, and Midnight Oil. Recent works include Band of Horses, Benmont Tench, Ryan Adams, Patty Griffin, and an upcoming Eric Clapton album. Glyn Johns is the sound of a large portion of rock radio, as well as most of our record collections. In his recent book, Sound Man, he recaps the highlights and adventures over the years, in the studio and on the road. We visited Glyn at his beautiful home in the country south of London, and met a gracious host happy to give us a tour of the gardens and a few hours of his time. I'd interviewed his son, Ethan Johns, in 2005; Glyn and I began talking about him, as Ethan had just been by the day before.

Manny Marroquin: Rihanna, Kanye West, John Legend

BY MIX WITH THE MASTERS, LARRY CRANE

Turn on the radio; you know, the one that's playing the hit songs of today. It won't be long before you hear something mixed by Manny Marroquin. With his touch gracing truckloads of top ten and number one songs, plus over 250 million albums sold worldwide, we've all heard his work. Artists like Bruno Mars, Whitney Houston, 2Pac, fun., Pink, John Mayer, Shakira, Maroon 5, Rihanna, Ludacris, the Rolling Stones, Duffy, Mary Mary, Kanye West, Imagine Dragons, Lana Del Rey, Alicia Keys, and John Legend have all benefited from his skills. I met up with Manny at Mix With The Masters, a weeklong seminar hosted by various recording luminaries in the French countryside of Provence. I was able to watch him lead the workshop for most of the day and picked up some cool techniques before our "live" interview. It was great to catch Manny in an "educational" mood, and the resulting chat was a blast.

Todd Tobias

Todd Tobias: Guided by Voices, Rough Treatment, and Circus Devils

BY STEVE FIVE, CALLAN SULLIVAN

With his work on numerous projects, Ohio musician, engineer, and producer Todd Tobias has been quietly demonstrating his skills in all three roles for over a decade, many of which have involved indie-rock legends Guided by Voices and their prolific frontman, Robert Pollard. His clear, powerful recordings of GBV and Pollard allowed them to transcend their original "lo-fi" pigeonhole, while still avoiding overproduction. Todd's talent for experimental sound-sculpting is evident from his own musical pursuits, which include Circus Devils (a studio project with Pollard on vocals), and Brother Earth, as well as solo releases. Operating from his studio, Waterloo Sound (originally in Kent, Ohio, and currently near Cleveland in Brecksville), Tobias has also engineered and produced albums for George Griggs, Kramies, The Library is on Fire, and many others.

Until the Studio Tech Arrives, YOU Are the Studio Tech

by Andy Hong

The other day, the blower motor of my studio's HVAC system died. The air handler is a large-volume, low-velocity unit (to minimize noise), and the access panel in the wall wasn't large enough to finesse the oversized blower out. My AC service technician gave up, and he asked me to open up the wall...

I've writing about clocks in Tape Op for close to ten years now, and I can sum up my opinion on the often-ridiculously-touchy subject like this: Clocks matter. They make a difference in sound; and like any other piece of kit, one must use one's ears when integrating digital clocks into studio...

At this point in history, there is simply no good reason that people aren't getting excellent sound out of their computers.

Moving in calculated rhythmic movements, I peeked up over the edge of the small, rooftop retaining wall.
