The Temple is a “hybrid” studio, combining a collection of vintage analog equipment and a Pro Tools 12 digital workstation. The foundation of the Temple’s sound is its vintage British console, a vintage 16-channel Neve 5465 plus a nice collection of outboard gear and microphones. The addition of a UA Apollo 16 and Apollo x8 interfaces and all the amazing plug-ins designed for the UAD-2 system, gives the Temple a wonderful collection of vintage equipment emulations to make your recording project the best it can be!

Interview with Gerry Griffin

Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Make the beginning of the song count, great intros will keep the listener listening.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: My productions range from rock, blues, reggae, singer/songwriter to voice over work as well.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I've been told that I'm easy to work with and have impressed a few clients with my editing skills. I work hard on being a good listener to both the clients and their music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: As a performing and recording musician, I bring 40+ years of love and passion for great music to every session and production that I work on.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: We usually spend a day or two tracking after pre-production is complete. Overdubs are done over the next few days or weeks depending on the client's schedule. I edit and mix songs before the client comes into the studio to do the final mixes. I email mixes (MP3s) to the clients for review constantly so they can hear their music in their favorite listening environments.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio, the Temple of Tuneage is a “hybrid” studio, combining a collection of vintage analog & digital equipment plus a Pro Tools 12 digital workstation. The foundation of the Temple’s sound is its two vintage British consoles, a vintage 16-channel Neve 5465 and a 40-channel Soundcraft Series Two plus a nice collection of outboard gear (Eventide, Urie, dbx) and over 50 microphones. The addition of a UA Apollo 16 interface and all the amazing plug-ins designed for the UAD-2 system, gives the Temple a wonderful collection of vintage equipment emulations to make your recording project the best it can be!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Great sounding recordings and excellent musicians are always inspiring to me. One of my favorite and inspirational producers is George Martin. The 3 bass players who redefined the instrument and are a constant source of inspiration are James Jamerson, John Entwistle and Jaco Pastorius.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Tracking, overdubbing and mixing are all part of creating recordings for my clients. Very often my production suggestions are welcomed, appreciated and used.
