Harley
Fine - Engineer & Producer
The product of the tough streets of NYC and the kind of education
you can only get here, he is loud, literate with a mess of influences.
Producer / Engineer Harley Fine brings a lot to the table.
With a deep understanding of the golden age of recording techniques
and equipment, he works to get clarity, depth and detail by using
the best mix of vintage and modern gear. That, coupled with an
almost encyclopedic knowledge of music and music history up to
the present day, makes a strong combination.
"Being a producer/ engineer/ musician/ recording artist,
helps me to understand the process from all angles."
Harley brings energy, experience and a strange sense of humor
to the team at Metrosonic.
