Tony Gavilanes - Engineer

PLAYLIST OF MY ENGINEERING WORK

My approach to recording a session differs from my approach to amplifying a live performance, but the basics are the same: to get the very best sound to begin with. This begins with the right microphones and then dissecting the acoustic circumstances of that gear in that space, then ultimately finding the "sweet spot" of the sound.

Having worked for the live crew that brought the sound and light show for Andrew WK and Built to Spill, I learned very quickly how a stage is run: fast, and right the first time. I love to work with audio, but I really enjoyed the light shows and moving the visual aspect with the performance.

I would rather work with analog signal, something I can hold in my hands and twist and manipulate through a board or outboard gear, but I have a great deal of experience with digital gear, especially when it comes to engineering a recording session. My engineering credit spans from the genres of bluegrass to math-rock, all the way to hip-hop.
