Audio Tractor: Music and Creativity

Clarke Schleicher - Engineer of Award Winning Hit Music

Clarke has recorded and/or mixed more than twenty #1 singles and ten #1 albums.  Winner of three Grammy awards, there is no doubt he's put together the music you've heard on the radio and online.
 
 Clarke's mixing style frames vocals by building everything around the story and the lyrics.  A sound with clarity and finesse, his detailed mixes bring the story to life with an unmistakable big vocal sound.
 
 In this episode he talks about the day he first heard an album that made him stand still and listen.  He was captivated even though it was an odd circumstance.  He braved the social awkwardness as only a fourteen-year-old can do.
 
 Highlight:  He didn't buy the earrings, but he still has the album.
