If you stay out of his (shaggy) hair and let him do his ‘Ben Thing,’ you’re guaranteed a superior product.

Ben strano has engineered, mixed and mid-wifed at least 5 records with me over the last 3 years (my own included). I have never been less than impressed with the job he’s done, the care he’s taken to preserve the integrity of performance, the energy he has supplied to the recording, and the ability to help actualize the intent of performer (this one is tricky and tech oriented, but i’ll just say it goes way past tuning a background vocal and moving a bad kick drum hit).

Ben Strano has that sought after combination of cutting edge digital mastery and old-school sonic appreciation that makes for great sounding recordings. Plus he plays trombone.. That’s right — trombone.

Ben is the kind of producer/engineer who wants to see any artist he’s working with make the kind of record they want to make. He lends his experience and knowledge to shaping an artists’ work into its best version. Honest, dedicated, and driven with any project he takes on, when he steps into the studio, he throws his hat into the ring right along side the artist and agonizes, ponders, and strives with every moment, perhaps stronger than the artist themselves. The only difference is he knows the answers and has the tools to get you where you want to go. It’s crucial to have that kind of expertise. It’s refreshing to have that kind of comaraderie.

Ben has true magical powers when it comes to getting the best out of all the players. His true value, however, is in understanding of music (he is a musician) a deep understanding of recording and all the tools needed to achieve a high level of professionalism.

Ben is a great musician with great ears who,as an engineer, gets killer tones and is lightning fast.
He loves music….A+ hang…..and he gives an amazing back rub.
