The best records you make as a Music Producer are always the easiest to make. Butch Walker’s “Letters” was one such record.

Recording Bass Guitar
“Jim- Whats the hardest thing to record?”
For me its Recording Bass Guitar. The technique, the part, the bass, the amp (if needed) all play a huge part in making it sound like it’s part of the band.
Recording Methods – Recording A Song A Day
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is “Hey Jim, How do you like to schedule your Recording sessions?”

Music Submissions – “Hey Jim, when I send you my music demo recordings, how evolved does the recording need to be?”
Recording Matthew Ryan’s Certainly Never
In the mid 90s, I had the pleasure of recording Matthew Ryan’s Debut album “Mayday” on A+M records. We recorded the record in NY, LA and Nashville using some of the finest gear available. We used 2 inch tape for the whole record, as most people did then. I used lots of equipment to get a very rugged natural sound but the biggest example of this was the song “Certainly Never”.
