John Agnello in New “Masters from Their Day” Video Series, with Sherlock’s Daughter at Manhattan Center Studios
The latest edition of the music production video series “Masters from Their Day” (MFTD) has launched Episode #4. Shot in Manhattan Center Studios, it features famed producer John Agnello working with the Australian band Sherlock’s Daughter on their latest single, “Out in the Cold”.
In each webisode of this series, the featured artists, engineers and producer are challenged to complete the entire production of a song in one day — usually around 6 hours. Each session takes place in a world-class recording facility using an array of equipment, including Benchmark mic-preamps and A/D/A converters.
The premise of the series was inspired by the works of the legendary artists and production crews from the seminal age of music production. Many classic recordings were produced in single recording sessions by artists like Patsy Cline, Otis Redding, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and their engineers/producers Owen Bradley, Tom Dowd, Sam Phillips, and George Martin.
The track from each webisode is mastered by 3-time Grammy-winning mastering engineer, Gavin Lurssen. The mastered track is free to download from the project’s site in redbook and high-resolution 24-bit formats. The HD videos are also free to watch, embed, stream and share.
Benchmark Media Systems, Inc., makers of high-end mic-preamps and A/D/A converters, are the creative force behind the project, forging partnerships with the featured producers, engineers, studios, and artists to contribute to the new social media paradigm.
