Recording Engineer

For a year or so in the late 1970s, I spent most of my weekends and many evenings at "Mixmaster Recording Studios", a small 8-track recording studio in Glenhuntly Road, Glenhuntly. Engineering demo tapes for upcoming bands was fun, especially if they could tune their instruments!

It was simply fabulous to work with some of the leading session musicians as the recording engineer and/or producer of many commercial recordings. I have some tapes stashed away that would cause severe embarrassment to some of Australia's top musicians (e.g. Vince Jones).
