Vintage Sound Expert Gary Faust on Los Angeles Radio Tonight

Posted on October 5, 2012 by carolynfoxshollywood

Tonight on the syndicated broadcast radio show, “Carolyn Fox’s Hollywood Spotlight,” our special guest is design engineer and content creator Gary Faust.  Having grown up around the music industry, Gary has a deep appreciation for a wide range of musical genres.  Comfortable working with jazz, rock, alternative Americana and the blues, he’s got a special gift for making live performances sound as technically refined as in-studio recordings.
