Lately, Saturday night bookings are arriving on Saturday afternoon. The gig I’m writing about here, however, was booked…

Several months ago, Grammy-winning producer, Oscar-nominated songwriter, touring musician and studio wizard T Bone Burnett began soliciting recommendations for replacement speakers for the control room of his Electro Magnetic Studios. According to the producer’s longtime engineer/mixer, Mike Piersante, the U.K.-manufactured ATC SCM150ASL Pro reference monitors that Burnett purchased from exclusive U.S. distributor Las Vegas Pro Audio not only fill the room with faithfully accurate sound but also ensure a perfect translation to the mastering studio. “I find them to be…
