This week, we talk to recording engineer Larry Crane of Portland’s Jackpot! Recording Studio about the new and expanded 20th anniversary reissue of Elliott Smith’s Either/Or and his friendship with the late singer-songwriter. Larry offers us some behind-the-scenes stories from the original sessions and tells us about the gear they used, the work that went into remastering these legendary songs and a lot more. We also discuss the economics of running a recording studio and Tape Op, the magazine that Crane co-founded with John Baccigaluppi.
