Hey Mike, Just realized that it was the guy from Oregon. Colt Ford was the other artist and he did the tune that I mentioned....my bad. But in answer to your question, yup, same Ray Scott. Unfortuneately, I don't know how to get in touch with him.
Hey Mike, Nice to meet you on here. Not sure where Ray Scott is from. I worked with him only once and that was about 2 years ago. Real nice guy, and from what I remember, very talented. I think one of the tunes was "Trash in my Trailor" or something like that...Like I said, it was 2 years ago! It could be the same guy you worked with...who knows. Be well man!
Thanks for being friends! Check us out at www.recordingedge.com. Should you need any recording, mixing, and or mastering needs, please keep Recording EDGe in mind.
Recording EDGe made a major recording studio upgrade. We ripped everything out of the performance room and added a ton of soundproofing. We added the latest and greatest Auralex absorption/diffusion sound treatment products to the Recording EDGe performance room giving it a nice alive sound. We couldn’t find a top of the top line Brauner microphone in the valley so Recording EDGe purchased a Brauner VMX microphone. We added a GK Industries ISO booth to capture your intricate nuances in unbelievable clarity and warmth. We also invested in a Lynx Aurora 16 AD/DA mastering converter along with the latest Steinberg recording and mastering software. Stop by Recording EDGe and/or check us out at www.recordingedge.com. 406-388-5042.
Here’s something to think about…
Everyone has a recorder these days and that is a great thing! Recording EDGe is helping artists by importing previously recorded tracks into our awesome tools. We often finish things off by recording lead vocal and/or lead instrument tracks here at Recording EDGe. This adds that missing sparkle to your project, and it will set you apart. Recording EDGe is all about collaborating and going way creative. Indie sounds are happening right now! Stay true to who you are, what you do and how you do it, and great things will happen!
"For The Love of God... Sound good!" Thanks. Edd Gryder
