A live echo chamber can be a considerable asset for any recording studio, that is providing that it is a good one. That’s the problem — how do you construct a good echo chamber?

R-e/p: Dick, how did you choose an engineer for the Dylan album? Dick LaPalm: I left the decision up to Rob. I asked him who should do it. At the time we had 3 guys.
