Engineer and producer Richard Sales recently finished mixing his daughter Hayley Sales' follow-up album for Universal using the Dangerous Music 2-Bus analog summing mixer and monitoring with the Dangerous Monitor ST along with the Dangerous DAC-ST D-to-A converter. The album, titled 'When The Bird Became A Book,' (Universal Music) is getting radio air-play and climbing the charts in Canada and Japan where the singer-songwriter has a strong following. Describing his new system, Sales says, "This whole experience for me was a giant 'Ah hah!' - an epiphany. I had been recording and mixing analog for many years. When I switched over to digital so many of the mysteries that had been plaguing me regarding why DAW mixing was not sounding right just blew apart when I got the Dangerous Music equipment." Sales has produced and engineered a wide variety of artists, from John Fahey, Danny Gatton, and Bernice Reagon of Sweet Honey In The Rock, to Miles Davis (with engineer Jim Smith), Wavy Gravy and beat literati Ken Kesey.
