Buck,
I want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to
my album. It was very inspiring to work with you in the
studio. I loved what you heard in my music and how you
brought it to life with your brilliant engineering and production
skills. When I first came to your studio I didn’t
know what to expect but since having worked with you during the
course of my project I’ve been truly impressed by your
understanding of music and ability to bring my songs up to their
fullest potential. I’m thrilled to say that my record
is finally finished and receiving glorious reviews. Thank you
so much.
Love,
Cynthia

Now that our CD "Journey To Eternity"
is completed and ready to be
released I felt it was time to officially acknowledge you for
all your help on this project. It all started with a meeting at
your studio where you listened to some of our tapes and showed
us what your accomplishments in the industry were. We were very
pleased that you decided to work with us on the project as engineer and producer
and in the final analysis as a friend. You are definitely an artist when
it comes to recording the guitar. The sounds you were able to
capture made us all play that much better. And the same goes for
the percussion. Your tips and pointers as we were going through
the recording process have proved invaluable. The final CD is
a culmination of our writing and playing AND your engineering
skill, production ideas, mixing ability and extremely valuable
input. So thanks again for all your hard work and help on this
project.

Buck, I want to thank you man, this CD has totally exceeded all
my
expectations. This CD was my first effort as a solo singer/songwriter
in the pop style genre and a huge learning experience for me as
a recording artist. Thanks for your patience and productive criticism..
When you asked me to work with you, I was looking for an
engineer/producer who could advise and guide me in my quest to
expand from a piano/vocal demo and produce a sound unlike anything
I'd ever done before with bands.
Truly none of the other engineers I'd worked with could have created
the sound that you produced on this CD. I'd recommend that any
new recording artist see you before producing a CD of his or her
own.
Buck, I can proudly put the CD up against any of the artists I
admire,
because its production and sound are flawless. You've worked with
some of the industries top professionals and I was honored that
you thought my music worthy of your vast engineering and production
skills.
Your instincts, from the basic tempo mapping to the many layers
of instrumentation, were right on. You built each layer with its
own unique space and blended them precisely into a beautiful mixture
of instrumentation to create a three dimensional sound that comes
at you from all directions giving the listener a lush hearing
experience (a very cool thing). And most important to a lead vocalist,
you set the lead vocal perfectly out on the front of this beautifully
recorded music. It takes a lot of skill to record a great lead
vocal as brilliantly as you (singers want their voice to be heard!).
Oh and Buck, I can't tell you how many people asked me who did
my sizzling guitar tracks, you are a true virtuoso on that Ax.
And I also have to tell you how much the other artists I worked
with on this project enjoyed working with you in your studio.
You have great communication skills and record and edit quickly
with great patience to each detail.
Finally, I want to thank your friend Phil Magnotti for his brilliant,
final mix and mastering at Silvermine Studios in Norwalk.. It
sounds amazing, it's no wonder he's received two Grammy's. Working
with you and Phil, I feel now that I can go much further with
my songwriting and earn a Grammy too some day.
Keep everything on! I'll be right back!
With love and respect, your friend and fellow artist.

Dear Buck,
I just wanted to say thanks for all your great work on our
new CD, “Behind These Walls”. Your commitment to
the music and the project was evident throughout the entire
process from pre-production through final mastering. Not only
was your projected budget for the project at its outset extremely
reasonable, but you beat it by a fair amount when all was said
and done. I must stress that the quality of the finished product
is impeccable and everyone who has listened to it has been shocked
at “how great it sounds”. We’ve received great
praise on the CD and I’ve received innumerable compliments
on my guitar sound as well. People who anticipate hearing a
mediocre recording are quickly, and pleasantly surprised to
hear something far beyond their expectations. Thank you for
working so diligently to give us a “World Class”
CD.
Beyond the sonic and monetary ends of things I must comment
on your skills as a producer. Your genuine and passionate support
of our music and our band shone through the entire recording
process. Your contributions in all aspects of the project from
song writing and arrangement, to adding color and parts, to
mixdowns attest to your sincere vision as a musician and as
a producer. You have become an important component of Weapon-X,
as vital as any of the band’s individual members.
You always put the music and the song first, which is a testament
to your motives; You’re in this field for the love of
the music and it shows in the quality of your work. Your sincerity,
dedication and friendship are something money can’t buy
and are greatly appreciated. I’m sure there are many good
producers out there, but these are qualities make you a truly
great one and a great person as well. Thanks you for making
the experience fun and giving us a recording we can always be
proud of as a band. We have fond memories of SBR studios and
we look forward to working on our next CD with you.
Sincerely,
Vinnie Guarniere
Weapon-X

Buck,
Just a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate your
help on our new album coming out this January. You helped us achieve
what we were striving for in the studio with a minimum of hassle.
We enjoyed the laid back but very professional atmosphere you
provided. The quality of our recording is fantastic! Guitar tones
on this record are one of the best that I have heard at any level.
From being very easy to work with to always delivering what was
promised on time this project is the best work that we have done.
From inspiring and guiding at times to knowing when to pull back
and let the band make it happen is the TRUE meaning of producing.
The band and I will always recommend your services and look forward
to getting to work on our next project.
Eric and the gang.

Dear Buck,
What can we say to you after four years of working together?
You’re like family, it’s like a marriage, we’ve
been through highs and lows together. The one thing that has remained
constant, though, has been your commitment to quality, your understanding
of our music, and your willingness to give 200%.
Your guitar sounds and production ideas have been an incredible
inspiration for us, certainly inspiring Ellen on to some electric
guitar playing she didn’t know she was capable of.
Roger has always felt completely comfortable recording any of
his many instruments, from percussion to accordion to harmonica
to keyboards. There’s a warmth in the recording that goes
beyond the technical that you have been able to capture.
Your emotional support makes it possible for both of us to perform
our vocals in a most relaxed, creative atmosphere. In fact all
our work with you is made better because of the trust we have
in your abilities.
And your work is recognized by others. We always get complements
from both industry professionals and fans on the recording quality
on our CDs.
We feel you have been and will continue to be an invaluable asset
to our team and wouldn’t work on a project without you.
Love,
Ellen & Roger
