Bradley assisted Eric Valentine on projects over the years, while also venturing off on major projects of his own at various studios-notably Grandmaster Recorders, which was unfortunately sold for redevelopment nearly two years ago.Bradley brings 30 years’ experience as an audio engineer to the table, and his résumé speaks for itself!

This is wild! My friend Chad was an assistant engineer at Grandmaster in the early 00's and he's still friends with Bradley. Alan Dickson was nice enough to let me keep my drums there on the stage for awhile. John Stanier even borrowed (and broke) my kick drum pedal while recording a last-minute track for Tomahawk's "Mit Gas." So if you visited Grandmaster between 2002-2004, my white Mapex P-Series was on that stage in the garage. Memories! Great video!

There’s nothing better than hearing subtle touches in the isolated tracks that totally add to the song. Like the super high, barely audible octave on the verse riff and the ebow thing in the chorus

@njkf 4 года назад

Exactly - I'm guessing it's Pat playing a highly distorted guitar through an octave pedal to get that background pling-sound during the verse riff?
