Transcript
My name is Candace Corrigan. Welcome to The Nashville Nobody Knows, a program of interview and performance of Great music that is usually outside the mainstream radio machine. This show is brought to by Mailsteward, for archiving email on the Mac. My guest today is Dave Sinko, one of my favorite recording engineers, who lives in Nashville Tennessee.
Candace: Dave, tell me something about yourself. How did you get into engineering?
Dave: I started with music of course, playing in little acoustic trios, and stuff and I was always the one who ended up doing audio. So I really started in live sound. Later, I got into building musical instruments, and I did that for a number of years, building mandolins and guitars, which I think really helps me today, in recording instruments, especially acoustic instruments.

Review of Interview with Dave Sinko, Nashville audio engineer
Dave Sinko talks about how he entered the recording business in Nashville from being a musician. We get to hear whole songs by the musicians he had worked with. Would have preferred more about Sinko's profession and the various techniques he used on recordings since, but he ended up mostly introducing the numbers. The interviewer has a very calm and relaxed manner in her speech, but it felt more like she was reciting words than interviewing. Or maybe it's a New York thing from my part. Some nice song choices.
