"I've
collected some pretty special pieces of outboard equipment and plug-ins
like 'waves mercury and eventide anthology bundles and summit tube
equalizers over the years which has helped me produce a nice body
of work," says Brian whose album credits total 53 Gold, Platinum
and multi-platinum albums with millions of dollars in sales.
"I tried to create an environment at Cookie Jar that resembled
my experiences at the world class studios I've been priviledged
to work in...within a home studio economy, of course," says
Brian.
"We're all about the music and vibe," says Cindy.
