    Great link.

    I didn't know he was almost a member of the Smiths, or am I picking that bit up wrong?

    No,

    He co-wrote and produced an album and some singles for Morrissey just post Smiths.

    I think he played on them too. Viva Hate etc...

    Mr Street he did a fair bit of work with both The Smiths and on Morrissey's solo stuff. He engineered 2 Smiths albums "Meat is Murder" & "The Queen is Dead" & also produced their last studio album "Strangeways here we come". He's rumoured to have played/written some of the Strangeway's stuff, but that appears to be in dispute (and since The Smiths had more or less split up before the album was finshed, the truth may never be known...)

    He then worked on Morrissey's 1st two solo albums (Viva Hate & Bona Drag) & associated singles. He co-wrote & performed material on each album as well as producing both albums. After that, they had a dispute over songwriting royalties & parted company.

    I recently finished reading the book "Meetings with Morrissey" by Len Brown which is a great read for any Smiths fans... I always knew the split was far from friendly, but they really fell out in spectacular fashion & spent most of the 90's suing each other. Although they're one of my fave bands, I seriously doubt they're on each others' Christmas card list... and although I'm still a big fan of (most of) Morrissey's solo stuff, he seems to have fallen out with just about anybody he ever collaborated with since The Smiths too!

    Didn't he loose the Cranberries Production seat because of a suggestion from their singer she went down as co-producer ?

    All questions you can ask Noel Cranberry (if you dare) at our Recording Show !

    Didn't Mr Cranberry ( Noel Hogan) do some solo production stuff with Mr Street?

    Cranberry Street, that has a ring to it.

    One of the few producers to spill the beans on what Dolores O Cranberry was like. He really let rip and told some home truths. Story made the mainstream press aswell. Top notch bloke, used to bump into him in the Windmill days.

    +1 for the AMS non-linear verbs, panning to clear up a dense mix and especially the whole thing about pen and paper, lots of notes are vital.

    Though I think everything he say about the advantages of Pro-Tools regarding recording everything and using it to edit a track is entirely feisable on RADAR, which I do sometimes wish I has gone along with instead of PT. It certainly sounded better back in the day.

    What's the verdict on Radar now ?

    I know whilst going into every session one thinks that it'll be a Beat Detective/ Autotune/CopyBars free Zone ....... but you know that feeling when you're thinking 'lets copy/tune/time this fecker and go home'

    If you had Radar you couldn't do it ....

    Would that make the music better ? mmmmm ?

    The only thing I couldn't do would be beat detective, and even then there were ways around that. All the others are doable either auto tuning with an outboard tuner like the Antares or the TC or doing it manually with the Eventide or a Sampler. Looping bars back in, cutting and pasting all the rest of it. In fact one thing you can do on the Radar is copy a section and paste it into another session which was handy. Radar was never as hard on drive space not that that matters much I suppose. But it was a joy to use for tracking I feel I was faster finding cues etc on the RADAR too, because you had to take notes.
