The Legends in the Studio-- Database

If you are interested in knowing who the engineers were that recorded the greatest hit songs and albums in the history of popular music, then you should check out this database which takes an analysis of the Billboard Hot-100 singles, Billboard Hot-200 albums, the Country and R&B charts from 1958-2003, and highlights each of the engineers who it can be documented that have recorded either six number-one hit singles or three number-one albums. In the future, an analysis of the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart will be added to the database.

About the Site

About Me

I am a former assistant recording studio engineer and professional educator. During my stint in the professional recording industry, I was blessed to be able to work with both Grammy-award winning artists and engineers in recording studio facilities in Austin, Los Angeles, and the Nashville metro area. Since that time, I became an award-winning professional educator who developed programs in the social studies, sciences, athletics, and multimedia. I am now the face behind the Recording Session Vault.com-- an educational website project that is dedicated to telling the stories of the engineers, recording studio facilities, and the technologies behind the recording of the popular music that we have come to love and cherish since the end of the Second World War.
