WELCOME TO LAST GASP RECORDING   Getting Started:   A finely ground and blended mess of traditional & modern ideas: from live drums to the 50+ gigabyte drum library of BFD Virtual Drums; from live acoustic instruments to the massive sound library of legendary Giga Studio 3; acid looping, microscopic editing and total recall of every project. As a one-man operation, I choose to take on a limited amount of projects each year...and only through the personal recommendation of my friends & clients. Link here for blurbs about current and past clients; a library of audio samplers; and a list of gear and software; as well as pictures.     About  :          Hi! I'm John McLane (aka John Grammy). I have experience with recordings of every type of music imaginable...20 plus years as a professional engineer, producer & multi-instrumentalist in various major markets including Los Angeles, Atlanta & Miami.  This includes work with Saxon, Henry Gross, Derek St Holmes, Morris Albert, Livingston Taylor, Angela Bowie; members of Spirit, Head East, The O'Jays, War, The Four Freshmen. Just for reference, I play keyboards, guitar,  drums, bass, saxophone, trombone, steel pan & I'm also a vocalist.  And, yes, I do read music & have logged a lot of study in arranging & music theory over the years.     Enough of my cheesy credentials!  They won't even score me a free beer at The Evil Tiki! The true nuts & bolts of my recording success have been the hundreds of productions completed for artists & writers who aren't on major labels. Read more about artists
