Endorse Dan Rudin
Not only is he one of the best engineers that I've been lucky enough to work with, his musical knowledge makes him an essential part of the team. Writing and working with a full orchestra under tight time constraints can be a challenge, but having someone like him "at the helm" let's me breath a little easier! btw, he always makes me laugh!
Dan is best of class, first of class - come to think of it: he's in a class by himself. In more than 30 years of production as a composer and producer I've never encountered an individual in any creative discipline with the focus, intelligence, creative instincts and sound operational instincts as Dan. He will simply not let you fail.
Dan is incredible! Wonderful studio, easy going, and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.
Having worked in Nashville for more than 30 years as an arranger and producer, I have a large number of remarkable recording and mix engineers available. There is still only one guy I trust with my music…Dan Rudin.
I've worked with Dan for over 25 years on countless educational and theatrical recordings. Dan always strives for excellence, and never loses sight of the big picture even when attending to the smallest detail. He is professional and thoughtful in every aspect of his work. I'm always excited to hear the finished recording come to life!
I worked with Dan on an extremely tight deadline to mix an orchestral video game score. Due to some unforeseen hangups, I needed him to mix six tracks in about 1 1/2 weeks. Though he had other stuff going on, Dan adjusted and even found time to do revisions, nit-picky as they were. And while I was frustrated, he kept his cool, helping me stay calm!
I have worked with Dan Rudin for over 10 years now, and I can honestly say that I know of no other person with as deep a skill set as Dan. Is he an engineer? Yes. Mixer, guitarist, producer, arranger, detail person, tech head? Yep. All those too, but the real intangible is Dan's ability to make the whole process fun and relaxing!
