Who dat??

 

Charles "Chuck" Rubano has engineered hundreds of recording and mixing sessions, most notably at Normandy Sound during the late 90's. Rising quickly from intern to assistant then to staff engineer and tech, he acquired extensive experience by working along side notable producers and engineers such as Phil Greene, Tom Soares, Bill Appleberry, Bob Weston, Joe Carrier and others. While at Normandy he worked on his first Gold record; Joey McIntytre's "Stay The Same". After Normandy closed its doors, he continued working in the indie scene for years. And his Connecticut project studio morphed from 8 to 16 to 24 tracks and from a Mackie 1604 to a Soundtracs Solo 24 to a Trident 80B! Oh, and at some point ProTools HD showed up.
