Happy Birthday
Posted on 10.22.07 by HippieGirl @ 10:33:15

Today, October 22nd, is the Birthday of Live Recording Engineer, Ray Thompson. He was one of the greatest and always said he “had an ear for live music”. He died 5 years ago on October 10th and would have been 65 years young today. He was one of the best in the industry and his family wish he could still be here to tell us stories about working with Wally Heider. He is loved and will never be forgotten.

Wally Heider
Posted on 10.21.07 by djdannyd @ 07:41:40

I am a huge fan of Wally Heider…By 1969 he was an established recording legend in popular music recording, recording many big band and pop acts in the early ‘60s. He also owned and ran one of the most successful independent studio facilities and remote recording outfits in the world. One of the greatest trend setters in the music industry…

I think most people in the music business would agree that Wally Heider was a major influence in the history of recording on the west coast, and helped launch hundreds of careers in the music business, including my own.

This is a place where we can share our experiences with Wally, his friends and associates at Wally Heider Recording, the equipment, the remotes and anyone else who had contact with the man or his studios, whether as an employee or a client.

Once again, if you have a story or wish to leave a comment to a story, please register and post your story, but don't bother to register if you're not going to contribute . All articles are publicly viewable. Also photos of Wally are desperately needed. Anyone?
