Oh yes. We asked him THREE questions picked at random from our random question machine. Read on.

1. What is your main recording medium these days?
Tal Herzberg: I have been recording exclusively on Digidesign’s Pro Tools systems since 1994. My current setup is Pro Tools HD ACCEL3, 3 x 192 I/O interfaces, SYNC I/O master clock, MIDI I/O interface, and a plethora of software Plug-Ins and hardware outboard processors.

2. Who were your engineering heroes when you were getting started?

TH: As a musician growing up, I noticed how good Beatles’ albums sounded, and I’ve been idolizing George Martin since then, especially considering what little and somewhat primitive means he had to work with. In 1991, when I was 21, I bought Jellyfish’s Bellybutton CD, which was produced, recorded, and mixed by Jack Joseph Puig, and it changed my life. This album sounded so good, that it made me decide to branch into sound production. I still consider this to be one of the best sounding albums I’ve ever heard.

3. Is there anyone in the world you would like to record?
TH: I'd love to work with Jack Johnson, really digging his vibe. His Curious George movie soundtrack album is an awesome example of successfully bridging high "cool" factor with child safe content, very beautiful and clever.
