Red lasers? That can't have very good resolution.

Cool. I've left a message. Thanks for cutting through my misconceptions!

What!? Are you sure?! I'll call Wharton. That's weird, since I digitized my 16 tracks there and he couldn't do the 24 track work.

Wharton Tiers is involved with this studio in Brooklyn.

Thanks, all. None of those guys have this particular config. Mark and Steve cross reference each other, too!

The search goes on. I know there are machines out there!

I agree that supafuzz hasn't been hired to be a producer, but I say the lines are blurrier than that. It's not black and white who's in artistic control during a session.

It sounded like a producer question to me.

You need to offer him a scenario where his ego is fulfilled. Tell him that his song craft will be presented in a better light if someone else sings it, and that makes his songs shine.
