RSR231 – Steve Genewick – Recording at Capitol Studios with Al Schmitt

Steve talked about Recording at Capital Studios with Al Schmidt, how to set up for an orchestral session, stereo mic methods, chamber reverbs and pre-delay, and how to get great drum sounds.

My guest today is Steve Genewick three-time Grammy-nominated recording engineer, with over twenty-five years of experience, both as a studio and live recording engineer.  

Steve has worked primarily out of Capitol Studios as a staff engineer since 1994.  For the last

15 years, Steve has had the great honour of collaborating with 23 time Grammy award-winning engineer/producer Al Schmitt, working with artists such as  Diana Krall, Chris Botti, Gladys Knight, Neil Young, George Benson, Quincy Jones, Burt Bacharach, and Paul McCartney. 

When not at Capitol, Steve can be found working at any number of major recording studios in Los Angeles or mixing at his home studio.  Steve also creates a great video channel for Capitol Studios called Top Of The Tower and the 1 Mic 1 Take series which we have included on Youtube for you.
