Music: Count, DJ Shadow Back in the Groove

Grammy-nominated engineer/producer Count and DJ Shadow are back in the studio working on a new album, with Count at the helm in his space. “Adam [Savage] from MythBusters built these things on the side of my Aeron chair that allow me to navigate with my arms down by my side rather than having to reach forward,” Count says.

Grammy-nominated engineer/producer Count and DJ Shadow are back in the studio working on a new album, with Count at the helm in his space. “Adam [Savage] from MythBusters built these things on the side of my Aeron chair that allow me to navigate with my arms down by my side rather than having to reach forward,” Count says. “I got all the plug-ins I needed to make things sound the way I wanted. The final component was getting the monitoring situation just right. The Dangerous D-Box and my old Genelecs help the mixes translate really well on other systems and help artists hear things the way they are actually going to end up. Listening down with artists to finished mixes is no longer this ridiculous translation process of me having to explain that things are going to sound different everywhere else. So far the record is turning out very cool. It’s got an old-school Shadow sound.”
