From jimmydouglass.com... "In the early 1970′s at Atlantic Records studios in New York City, he started his studio career as a part-time tape duplicator while still attending high school. There he learned how to operate the studio's custom made 16-channel console and observed, was trained by, as well as worked with some of the greatest engineers, producers and record moguls including Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler and Ahmet Ertegun. For his first time behind the faders, he was encouraged by Wexler to engineer the session recording for a demo of a new band. He went on to work with great Atlantic Recording artists such as Aretha Franklin, Hall & Oates, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, Foreigner, Led Zepellin and AC/DC to name a few.

During the 1980′s, Douglass continued to hone his engineering skills while also taking on the role as producer. He engineered and produced established artists including The Rolling Stones, Slave, Odyssey, Roxy Music and Gang of Four.

In 1994, he began working with up and coming contemporary R&B/hip hop producer Timbaland and served as his main engineer for more than a decade. They would eventually collaborate on classic projects from artists such as Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, Ginuwine and Jay-Z .

Beginning the new millennium, Douglass continued engineering and mixing more Timbaland produced projects including Snoop Dogg, Bjork and Grammy winning albums for Justin Timberlake. Among the artists he also mixed are Rob Thomas, Sean Paul, Kanye West, Ludacris, Al Green, John Legend and Duran Duran."

@seaweedmusic I think you are the only prissy princess here. These guys are on the top of their game. Dave is doing a show once a week f FOR FREE giving us all invaluable information. If you can´t improove you´re mixing/producing, if you don´t get inspired by all these living legends I just feel sorry for you.

Dave could make DVDs and sell these shows and I´m sure he´d sell a lot....but he has decided to give it away FOR FREE......

so please do me a favour and stop moaning about the show.

i think they should use a viewer submitted session file to show how to deal with some "common" issues that someone not recording in a million dollar studio would face. this would lead to future show topics because it couldn't be done in one episode, especially not when a majority of the time is filled with interviews (which i still do appreciate), instead of more of the ITL section. maybe just lengthening the ITL time could even help more. my $0.02. love me or hate me. Thanks Dave

Jimmy Douglas is the man behind timbaland. That is what you tell mortals when they talk shit about who their favorite producer or engineer is.

Seems to me there are those that want to be spoon fed and those that want to learn how to use their cutlery and eat what they want. This show is for the latter, which are you?
