Music Industry |
THOMAS CARR, Part-Time Instructor One area of engineering that I especially enjoy is my work with acoustic music, classical and jazz in particular. These recordings, either direct-to-stereo or multi-tracked, have typically been for release on CD and range in complexity from solo piano to 100-voice chorus, from string quartet to jazz quartet to big band, from spirituals to opera to musical theatre original cast recordings, from solo violinist to full orchestra.I consider myself exceedingly fortunate to have been in and around music most of my life. I had the most wonderful music teachers all through grade school and college that showed me the immeasurable value in having a strong work ethic and the joy of collaborating with other artists to achieve a shared goal. Most importantly, I learned from them that it's OK to strive for excellence, to exceed expectations and be fully committed and passionate about one's work. Those lessons are the foundation upon which I've built my recording, mixing, and mastering career. I hope to pass some of that on to my students at Madison.
