Personnel

Shane Trimble, Audio Engineer

Shane's journey began in 1994 at the iconic Power Station studio, NYC. He later joined Sigma Sound in Philadelphia, where he was mentored by renowned mixer Mike Tarsia and learned technical recording skills from veteran engineer Gordon Rice.

These influences shaped his approach to engineering and production.

Shane continues to honor his late mentor’s legacy when capturing performances and creating authentic, innovative mixes – always serving the song.
