Send us a text


Tad Rollow is a research engineer who has worked at companies
like Eventide, Avid-DigiDesign, and Sennheiser. You probably own
hardware or software whose design Tad has been part of.


Tad has a wide range of interests and experiences, including
hardware, software, and chip design. He’s been recording music
since high school and continues to do that. He has a degree in
electrical engineering and a PhD in acoustics.


Tad understands the intersection between engineering and art, and
knows that a product not only has to have great specifications
but it also must sound good.


Our conversation was recorded at 24-bit/ 96kHz PCM. Tad was
recording in his home studio in San Francisco, using a Sennheiser
MKH8050 mic into a D.W. Fearn VT-2 microphone preamplifier, and
recording to ProTools. I am using an AEA R44 microphone, a VT-2
preamp, and a Merging Technologies converter, recorded to
Pyramix.


The mix was processed through a D.W. Fearn VT-5 Equalizer and a
VT-7 Compressor.
