Issue #30 – Mentor News
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
David Weiss at industry mag SonicScoop, recently sat down with Matt Linesch to interview him about his success working with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and mixing at Ocean Way Recording.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“What makes Matt Linesch shine so bright isn’t the obvious things. Yes, his mix credits are captivating – including the utterly distinctive 2013 self-titled album Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, as well as the band’s 2012 effort Here, and the Golden Globe-winning soundtrack to ‘All Is Lost’ starring Robert Redford, plus clients including Dave Mason, Fool’s Gold, Australian band Wagons, Insects vs. Robots, and The Cerny Brothers.
And yes, his facility at Hollywood’s famed Ocean Way Recording – complete with a prized Trident 80b board — may be a mixer’s dream come true.”
Ocean Way is a prestigious company with a long legacy of producing award-winning albums for major artists. Its roots go back to the original United Western Studios constructed in 1952, which yielded some of America’s best recordings of the 1960s and 1970s (including The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations”, Ray Charles’ version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You”, The Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin'”, and Frank Sinatra’s “It Was a Very Good Year”).
Since those early days, the Ocean Way family has grown to include ten studios, a mastering room, Classic Equipment Rentals, OWR To Go, Ocean Way Drums, and Ocean Way Monitor Speakers. Matt Linesch became a mentor for the Recording Connection earlier this year, and we couldn’t be more pleased to be sending our students to such a skilled engineer at this world-renowned studio!
“Mixing is such an art form that I feel it takes a lifetime of trial and error to master.” – Matt Linesch
