Stereophile profiles Marenco's Recording Techniques from BAAS Workshop

The January 2009 Stereophile magazine includes a feature article on how Blue Coast label founder, Cookie Marenco, records and mixes acoustic guitar. On hand to perform was Jason McGuire, flamenco guitarist extraordinaire, while Marenco position microphones to achieve a classic Blue Coast 'sound'.

Two workshops took place in September 2008 at OTR Studios sponsored by the Bay Area Audiophile Society. Bob Walters organized the event that allowed attendees to experiment in the control room to achieve various soundscapes. Downloads of the music are available in stereo and multitrack versions at a special page...

Special thanks to Jason Victor Serinus for his attention to detail in the writing of the article.

Currently, the article is only available in print copies. We'll keep checking for the online version to appear.
