Documentation Is Key
by Andy Barnhill
As a technician, designer, or engineer documentation is absolutely critical. Missing information can bite us in the future. Detailed information can be extremely helpful. Recently Peter Gabriel released a 25 anniversary edition of the album So. In an excerpt from Peter Gabriel's website, Richard Chappell shared the following:
"Ian made some experimental changes but both he and Peter agreed that it sounded great as it was. Incredibly Ian actually had the original notes from the session 25 years before! They ended up approaching the mastering in the same way that they had at the very first session."
