Steve, which artists have shown the most enthusiasm towards your mastering work?

Have many/any of them come down to your studios and shown a personal interest in the mastering of their album, either CD or LP? Do you know of any that have been THE reason why you're mastering their work, either by them lobbying their record company or perhaps by them lobbying yourself?

Feel free to ramble on, if need be.

 

I thought that Doonie had a great question there. I take it from your answer, Steve, that no one REALLY cared that much to "look over your shoulder", as it were, to see what you were doing to "their" music? That's kind of disappointing, actually. Unless, of course, you "shooed" them away and wanted to work undisturbed... couldn't blame you for that.
It would be pretty great to have an artist approach you afterword and say "Steve, I really LOVED the way you made my music sound!"
Well, I'm not in the "business", but I think I sure would love to hear that, because you have and they should! Just my 2 cents....

 

Can you give us a hint as to what search terms to use? Where is Leppo?

 

I heard Steve say Ray Charles was very impressed... he said it in public so I'm putting it here.

And I can say first hand that Randy Newman was impressed with Steve's work but unfortunately, they have yet to work together.

I would have loved to be in the room for the Ray Charles work.
