RSR241 – Doug Sarrett – Recording Tips with Al Schmitt, U2, and One Republic

Doug talked about starting out with Dan Huff, ideal headphones mixes for tracking sessions, tips for recording brass and string sections, and his basic Pro Tools mix template for every session.

My guest today is Doug Sarrett a Nashville-based Independent Audio Engineer. He came to Nashville to attend Belmont University and has worked steadily in Nashville Recording Studios for over 30 years. Doug is also the owner of Uno Mas Studio in Brentwood, TN.

A brief list of some of the artists Doug has worked with: U2, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, One Republic, Vince Gill, Micheal McDonald, Amy Grant, Switchfoot, Glen Campbell, Micheal W. Smith, CeCe Winans, Shirley Jones (Mom Partidge), Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), The Oak Ridge Boys, and tons of others!

I met Doug recently at a Nashville engineers lunch event (thanks again Mark Rubel!) and when I checked out Doug’s website and work I was really blown away. So here we are 🙂
