FLOCK OF SWANS
Here at the studio we have a flock of professional engineers that migrate to and from based on projects needs and specialties.
The lead bird is owner Andreas Meyer.
Team Swan Studios NYC is proud to have earned 13 Grammy nominations including for our work as Reissue Mastering Engineers on Sony Masterworks "Marian Anderson, the Complete RCA Victor Recordings".
This was in addition to our other nomination in the Best Classical Choral Performance for Conspirare The Singing Guitar. We were present for the celebration in Las Vegas this year and congratulate our fellow competitors on a fine job by all!
