I can't comment about Russ Andrews, but if you want to know about
audio "smoke and mirrors" Brian, Magic Alex will interest you. He
was the man who promised to build the Beatles a 72-track analogue
multitrack recorder at a time when the 4 track Studer J37 was state
of the art. He also said that he would render studio acoustic
treatment, tiles, screens etc, as unnecessary by using an acoustic
"force-field" generated by six massive computers which be bought as
redundant technology from British Aerospace. Similarly, he claimed
that a control to studio "talkback" system would no longer be
required as he could electronically tune
players/producers/engineers to the "same artistic wavelength". The
Beatles put him in charge of their technical R+D at Apple
Electronics to design and build there new studio in Saville Row.
He brought them to to verge of bankcruptcy.


Goes to prove you can pay someone obscene sums of money but if they
are devoid of talent they'll still just produce crap.

Which reminds me, must go and check the BBC pay announcement to see
what Chris Evans is being paid...
