World-renowned flamenco guitarist Hernan Romero has handled co-production duties on Al Di Meola’s records since the 1990s – we called him at his New Jersey studio to learn more about the recording process behind this album.
“With Al Di Meola, it’s all about quality,” Hernan tells us. “He loves Schoeps mics on [engineered by Chris Bolster], where we were using all the ambience and the sound of Studio 3, which is just amazing. This record has more going on in the production, which means once you start adding instrumentation that kind of huge ‘room mic’ sound just gets lost, so we close-mic’d in a smaller room for punch and detail.”
