ABOUT THE NAME–
Garland Ruby Sink was my maternal grandfather, with whom I spent a great deal of time during my formative years, and from whom I inherited a strong appreciation for working with my hands. Pictured is the tool shed I helped him build behind his house in 1966, which remains standing today.
My modest but very capable audio production workshop consists of a collection of world class analog microphones, preamps, equalizers, and compressors, combined with a compliment of equally stellar digital converters and processors. Projects are tracked and edited in pro tools or logic pro, within which resides a vast collection of plugins and virtual instruments. This is a thoughtfully curated collection of tools assembled over decades of practice, a workshop that reflects the best technologies and techniques of the last 70 years of the recording arts.
