August 2007 - OK, it looks like the updates for the last couple of months have been a bit light but we have been so snowed under recording new fetures and trying to keep up with the editing that the 'stuff' in the pipeline is huge, just that the features take some time to get on-line, mostly as we all have day jobs and this site is all created in spare time by industry people. Some of the upcoming features in the pipeline include legendary producer Kevin Shirley, Andy Gill and Steve Orchard.

December 2006 - If you have emailed us during December to arrange features etc please contact us again as we've had a major problem with emails :-(

More are due from Canada soon following the massive interest in Mike Fraser's video. We are waiting for another very interesting feature to get through the edit suite that was shot in Rome with a very well respected engineer and producer.
We have been working through updating several areas of the site, including working on improving the studio equipment and shop - sorry if you hate any commercialism but without it we couldn't be running broadband videos as we are, ie, for free. We are also working on improving the jobs area. Anyway, we have re-streamed Danton Supple's video interview and that's now substantially better than the low speed modem version! We're away shooting videos at the moment so there are lot's of exciting new features coming soon.
Finally, check out the production magic event at London's Magic Circle featuring Phil Ramone and Nile Rodgers.
October 13th 2006 - Our first major record producer feature from Canada is now here - Mike Fraser in featured at the fabulous Warehouse Studios in Vancouver.

Cool!
October 6th 2006 - Quite a few producer biogs updated including Richard Rainey and studio features with new pictures added including Yellow Shark.

August 31st 2006 - We've moved servers - all done. If you've tried emailing us and haven't heard back it's probably due to the server move, so please try again! As we had the site spread over two servers (big video files on one) it was getting messy. The possible problem that you may have is that some links may now be incorrect. Please let us know of any that you find!
August 26th 2006
WEBMASTER'S REPORT
We've overspent way too much on production recently so are having to slow down the new features for this month a little - if you would like to help out with a contribution good on you! Advertising on the site helps but the production costs, equipment, materials, bandwidth and webhosting etc add up to big numbers.
In the last few month's we hope that you've seen a quantum jump in the site's quality, from better graphics to higher quality video. This is due to investment in cameras, lenses, lighting, microphones and the addition of a new streaming server that has enabled higher bandwidth for larger video streaming. Special thanks to Johnny Jaskot for his work in improving the site's quality.
There are a huge number of pages to update so it's likely that you will find quite a few pages that don't quite match the new look, sorry about this, we are updating as fast as possible. Many of the old videos were designed for modems and the quality is poor, quite a few are not suitable for re-editing but where it is possible we are re-editing and re-streaming.
We encourage you to add links to the site from your own page or myspace pages, we depend on widening the audience to keep the site growing.
Thanks for being a part of RecordProduction.com, please add us to your bookmarks!
August 25th 2006 - We are scheduling a stack of new video features for the September/October period, if you'd like to be featured or know someone who should be featured please get in touch.
August 24th 2006 - Even more pages updated. Visit the Producers and Engineers area to see.
August 20th 2006 - A substantial amount of pages have been updated, lots of new pictures added etc, etc.
August 18th 2006 - Jason Miles video interview shot by Johnny Jaskot is uploaded for review - hopefully this will be on line in a week.
August 6th 2006 - Calum Malcolm video now uploaded. The audio is poor due to a broken mic and the video quality is a bit lacking but the content is great.
August 5th 2006 - Lin Gardiner video now in edit - it will be up in a few weeks - the editing has been delayed due to sync problems in Final Cut - grrr..
August 4th 2006 - Toby Scott video is having a few tweaks before uploading, sorry for the delay!
August 2nd 2006 - Top secret producer webcam coming soon :-)
August 1st 2006 - Gary Langan and Hugh Padgham pages updated.
July 30th 2006 - This month's hits are up on last month, again, which is nice. :-)
July 30th 2006 - Noticed in Tape Op magazine we got a good mention last month. Shame it takes so long to get our copy over here in the UK as it's such a great mag.
July 30th 2006 - Lot's more producer pages updated.
July 25th 2006 - Mixing rooms page added, just waiting for the Calum Malcolm video shot there to add.
July 22nd 2006 - Toby Scott video edits completed by Johnny Jaskot - awaiting upload - should be on the site in the next few days.
July 22nd 2006 - Huge number of pages updated - zillions left to do.
July 16th 2006 - Lin Gardiner (note correct spelling) video in edit but due to lack of time and so many other projects on the go it is going to take a few weeks to complete.
July 14th 2006 - Resolution magazine out with several of our shots, Pedro Ferreira feature and pics of Riverlight Studios.
July 10th 2006 - New Ultra High Resolution video of Ken Scott is now on the site. We have asked that people who view make a small donation via Pay Pal as this video is 250meg and will eat bandwidth. If this proves to be popular we will make sure that all videos are available in this format too. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
July 9th 2006 - Tony Platt broadband video shot at Townhouse Studios uploaded.
July 8th 2006 - New videos are now all going up in extra large format. This may not be great news if you're on a modem or have a slow connection but we are having to think ahead. The original videos were designed to play via a modem, now they look rubbish and as the march of technology continues we are sure that everyone will have fast connections soon so to stay ahead and to prevent us having to re-stream later with all the work that entails it's best to go with a larger format now.
If you are on a decent broadband connection it's great news as the picture quality is significantly better. If you find that you get the videos stopping just wait a minute to let it buffer a bit then start from the beginning.
July 8th 2006 - New featured record producer - Pedro Ferreira added. We are very pleased with this video, Pedro is a serious star in the making, great attitude, bright and talented.
July 8th 2006 - Videos still in edit and likely to be uploaded in the coming month include: Toby Scott, Lin Gardner, Tony Platt, Calum Malcolm, Jason Miles, MPG event and a few others that are being re-edited and streamed at higher bandwidths.
July 8th 2006 - Filming of new producer feature with Lin Gardner. Hopefully this will be edited and on the site in about a week.
July 7th 2006 - Toby Scott and Jason Miles videos are nearly edited by Johnny Jaskot. This will be a three part feature shot at Berklee while Toby is working with Bruce Spingsteen! Expect to see these videos in about two weeks.
July 7th 2006 - New banner is on trial. The idea is to include the featured producer, artist orstudio etc within the banner so each month, or week depending on how busy we are, the site will look a bit different. It's going to be a quick way for regular visitors to see that there have been significant updates. Please let us know what you think - if you're an artist, feel free to offer advice!
July 2nd 2006 - New Tony Platt video feature uploaded on to computer for editing, will be two weeks or so before it's up.
July 1st 2006 - Two new producer features added this weekend. Sergio Galoyan and AlexSilva. Both are in extra large broadband format.
July 1st 2006 - Ed Buller video now re-streamed at high bandwidth.
July 1st 2006 - Lou Lombardi's video now added.
