Right
Track Studios video features
With Frank Filepetti and Bary Bongiovi
A fantastic series of broadband video interviews
recorded at Right Track Recording Studios are now here
- with more planned. This unique series starts off with
two of the industries leading figures talking about
the recording studios and the industry.
Located on New York's famous music street - 168 West
48th - Right Track Studios were founded in 1976 by studio
owner and pioneer, Simon Andrews. Power Station and
industry veteran Barry Bongiovi, Right Track's General
Manager joined forces with Andrews in 1995 and this
combining of reputations, talent, and experience has
brewed a strong formula for success.
Pictured
above are Bary Bonjiovi and Frank Filipetti who talk
on camera about the
studios and the industry. We think that this is one
of the most interesting interviews on the site so fire
up your broadband connection and play the videos. These
are streamed in the Real Player format.

One - Main interview with Bary and Frank Filipetti
Video Two - Additional
interview at Right Track Studios.
Bongiovi
attributes the studio's success in maintaining such
a diverse client list to their technical and production
staff, Andrews's ability to anticipate industry trends,
and Right Track's overall atmosphere and approach. "There's
no pretension here, we just do the job - regardless
of who the client is," says Bongiovi. By anticipating
needs and keeping maintenance extremely high, Right
Track strives to make the studio the creative environment
it should be, "We want our clients to come in and
do what they came here to do - make records....and hopefully,
successful ones."
With
a stack of hits to the studios credit the facilities
attract some of the very best established and up and
coming artists. Acoustically,
Right Track Studios is fabulous. All of the studios
were designed with ensemble recording in mind, as evidenced
by the exceptional sight lines between the four spacious
isolation booths that dot Studio A's large main room,
the 21-foot ceilings in Studio C, and the gargantuan
live room in Studio A509. Yet Right Track is quite capable
of creating a comfortable, intimate atmosphere, which
many of the world's leading vocalists have used to create
masterpieces.
Very
special thanks to everyone at Right
Track Studios for their kind help in assisting
this series and extra special thanks to Johnny
Jaskot who produced and edited this series!
