Location: Around the Puget Sound, WA, via zoom
Moderated by: Greg Dixon
Speaker(s): Bob Olhsson - Former Motown Engineer
Note: Meeting time is Pacific Time Zone!
Imagine being a fly on the wall at Hitsville Studios (aka Motown Studios). Bob Olhsson began his Motown Career in the cutting room at Hitsville where he interfaced with every part of the company: cutting, recording, mixing, and mastering. Gradually, he moved into doing all of those functions, while learning their unique approach to the record business. Remember, it was 1965 and studios were very homespun; the techniques we take for granted today were being invented!
It was truly an amazing wall, and an amazing time.
