Funny that. The Overheads on Opeth's Deliverance ended up being in mono. I always wondered what Andy had to go through to salvage that record.

Thats a good idea dude. Ok dudes, if you are serious about wanting to do some covers, post here! I know a lot of people have posted, but there are only two or three people who have posted more than once and actually seem to want to do this.

Jup, nothing but speculation, but you'd suppose a good, busy and succesfull masteringengineer would have no time or need to hang around myspace IM all the time to put himself out there? But you never know Anyhow, Executioner213 wanted some info on the guy and i think he got some good food for thought right?
