Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nancy Sharlau-Murman: veteran recording engineer, and instructor at CRAS
Q: So what are the most important skills that you feel are necessary for being a recording engineer? And what are some programs or courses? We probably touched upon them, but if there are any more programs or courses that you took, that you feel like it helps someone, what are they?
Nancy highlights patience, planning, careful listening, understanding a client's vision, flexibility with equipment, and regular hands-on practice. She also recommends observing others, taking notes, and documenting techniques.
Nancy Sharlau-Murman: veteran recording engineer, and instructor at CRAS
Q: So would you mind diving into how you got into audio in the very first place? And when did you decide that you wanted to follow it as your career?
Nancy traces her interest from collecting records and experimenting with a Roland Juno synthesizer to helping with high school theater and attending Berklee's summer program, which led her to pursue its music production and engineering program.
Leanne Ungar: trail-blazing recording engineer and Berklee professor
Q: What advice would you give someone starting out in this field?
Pursue it with passion and persistence, understand that the music business can be tough but music itself is ubiquitous; find multiple avenues to monetize and build your skills, because there are many roles beyond the top-tier studios.
Leanne Ungar: trail-blazing recording engineer and Berklee professor
Q: What was it like working on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, and how did that track come together?
I tracked and mixed the song and dealt with intense demands for vocal reverb, later recognizing the complexities of achieving a sound that matched the artist's vision, and we navigated changes in the release strategy before the song finally found its audience.
Leanne Ungar: trail-blazing recording engineer and Berklee professor
Q: Could you just give us a little background on how you transitioned from dance to audio production?
I wanted to be a dancer from a young age, moved to New York for a summer, decided dance wasn't my path, and discovered an affinity for audio while hanging around studios, eventually teaching myself by observing and doing hands-on work in publishing houses and early studios.
