Latest RecordProduction.com News
We have been very slow to update the site recently as RP's house was broken in to and all of our cameras, lenses, computers etc were stolen. It's taken years to gradually get all of this equipment so the loss has been devestating. Even though we had insurance it's taken over 8 weeks to get anything and we're *still* waiting so if you're frustrated at the slow updates you can be very sure that we are too.
On the positive side a number of people have been a great help and bought photo sets we've taken on our SmugMug galleries so to those that have helped, thank you! If you'd like to help by buying your own photos or placing ad's on the site please get in touch.
Meanwhile, Google has changed it's algorithm which has had an impact on many sites, ours included. This has made finding our content that much harder so if you have a website or blog please add a link to RecordProduction.com, every link helps and let us know you've done it so we can promote you back! It really does help!

Latest features
Disasters aside, we have recorded some new features and are editing others. One of the best features we've shot in some time (on an iPhone) was at Far Heath Studios with engineer Angus Wallace experimenting with some interesting Drum Recording Techniques. If you've not seen it yet please do!
In edit we are close to finishing the George Shilling special feature and a feature with Jimmy Hogarth. Johnny Jaskot has just about finished editing a new Scott Mathews interview and Russell Cottier has just finished editing a feature at Parr Street Studios. We have a ton of features planned but until we get any new gear it's going to be slow for a month so please remember we have nearly 300 record producer interviews to watch and maybe you'd like to have us add your name to the 'to do' list!
