Sylvia, Chris Johnson and Ivan Handwerk said farewell to the members of Brazil’s Far From Alaska. The three week project wrapped on Friday night with pizza and drinks at the band’s pad in Ashland. The mixes will come fast and furious this week! 
Featuring a photo from her recording in a stairwell at Castle Röhrsdorf in Germany, Sylvia is featured in this month’s Recording Magazine. 
Hal Leonard has released two Recording Unhinged coloring books, featuring the artwork from the popular book by Sylvia and Chris Johnson, including the “Audio Icons” coloring book featuring all the heroes from the studio world. Available through Amazon.com or the Hal Leonard Publishing website.
The Recording Unhinged book was nominated for a TEC Award for “Best Educational Technology”. A first for publisher Hal Leonard. Chris and I are honored and very proud of our book project. The TEC Awards show was fabulous, and although we did not receive the statue in our category, we enjoyed the night and look forward to trying again next year!

Had a great time with Die So Fluid on “Comets”. Ian Rickard and I mixed the track on the vintage Neve to give it that sweet and spicy flavour. Oh yeah!!!!
