musical integrity over shifting sonic trends. In 1975, he began a 20-year career as a recording studio owner, engineer and producer. With thousands of 8, 16, 24 and 48 track recordings to his credit, Vestman garnered a reputation as a skillful recordist and session musician/vocalist - often guiding projects to completion of vinyl records, post production for film and early digital Compact Disc recordings. He was one of the first recording engineers (1978) to use refined audiophile listening systems in a professional recording environment, and has been presented with RIAA Gold and Platinum records. Vestman also launched Nautilus Master Technology, a high-end audio equipment line that has won “Certified Hit” kudos from major recording industry magazines. Built by Inward Connections, the equipment utilized Discrete Class-A circuit designs with attention-getting features and details. Vestman’s attention to detail is reflected in his audio designs and proprietary methods which are in use every day in both CD mastering rooms. Read more... |
