ORIGINAL: Jim Opfer There's got to be a 'but' comming so here goes. The fact is, I haven't sat there and listened to Todd play and it does cross my mind that a lot of what I hear could be enhanced, dubbed, re-recorded or even speed up, effectiveley 'manufactured' through some recording studio gizmo. I remember someone else once commenting here that they suspected Todd might record one note at a time, then edit it all together LOL! Such ideas are quite ridiculous, I find it very frustrating that people people think its possible for musicians - guitarists especially - to 'manufacture' their work to this extent. It shows a competed lack of appreciation of how difficult the recording process is anyway, let alone what is possible to improve and enhance a performance. Of course Todd edits its recordings, of course he rec-records sections he isn't happy with, of course he polishes his recordings with a variety of mixing and production tools such as EQ, compression, etc. Guess what - everyone else does to!! But if the skill isn't there in the beginning, the best mixing and production skils in the world wil not help you, any engineer will tell you that. Of course, the proof is in the pudding anyhow, and Todd has recorded several videos of himself that should satisfy the sceptics. Mind you, I'm sure someone will say that those have been edited together from Tomatito videos or something. Jon
