The Recording Institute Of Detroit is really a gold-record school. It is taught by instructors who have gold records and turns out gold-record recording engineers. We're at 48 gold records and counting (we know we're missing at least a dozen). 36 by the staff and 12 by graduates.

In this issue we meet RID's most successful graduate - Ben Grosse, owner of THE MIX ROOM in Burbank, CA. As far as we can determine, Ben has credits on 10 gold and platinum records. If you want a promo pack for Ben's studio, please e-mail the mix room at: themixroom@aol.com.

THE MOTOWN RECORDING REVIEW ARTICLES *

Editor's Note:

In the mid-1960's Motown Records developed a revolutionary recorded sound (for that period) and became the largest independent record company in the world - Not bad for a home-recording setup. The following articles highlight the history and techniques used to achieve this success. The 11 articles are separated into 3 category links.

A PICTURE TOUR OF THE MOTOWN HISTORICAL MUSEUM - See the equipment and facilities that Motown used in the 60's and compare it to what you have in your basement.

OUR MOTOWN RECORDING HERITAGE - Stories about what it was like around the studio in the mid 1960's

MOTOWN RECORDING TECHNIQUES - Because of limitations in equipment in the 1960's Motown developed techniques to get a hit sound. Most of these techniques can be used to your advantage today.

MOTOWN LINKS - Specific sites on the web about Motown.
