Barry's interest in recording goes back to his electronic projects
in grammar school. In the sixth grade, he won a prize at the science
fair for building a radio control transmitter from parts he found
at a war surplus store. While working his way through Long Beach
State University, Barry worked for NASA-contracted companies trouble-shooting
individual circuit boards for digital systems, later graduating
to complete digital computer systems. Barry played the drums in
a garage rock band and designed, built and installed the band's
P.A. system. He developed an interest in music recording from listening
to pop records. "I was interested in what made certain records
sound better to me and why," says Barry. He soon discovered
a studio near his house and got a job as a gofer at United Audio,
Santa Ana, CA but soon moved to LA to start at Larrabee studios.
Beside gofer duties, he was now cutting mono acetate discs used
for song publishing demos at the time. "It was a place where
you could learn by experiment, watch seasoned pros work, make a
few mistakes, and not cause many problems. After cutting a few thousand
discs, and with the right attitude, you were ready to assist first
engineers. I would setup tracking sessions, move mics, plug in equipment,
get coffee for everybody and sweep up. I started as a staff first
engineer on song publishing demos and graduated to freelance engineer
after my first gold record, Al Wilson's "Show and Tell"
reached #1 and sold 1.8 million copies,” says Rudolph.
