My guest today is Kevin McMahon of Marcata Recording first started by The Walkmen in 2000 as a purely analog facility located in Harlem inside what had been a Nascar production facility.\\xa0\\xa0

Kevin joined in 2003 and took over daily operations, bringing his collection of vintage microphones, preamps, and a long history of studying great live performance from the decade of work as a live sound engineer/designer at the now-defunct but not forgotten venue Brownies in New York City\\u2019s East Village.\\xa0\\xa0

Doing live sound is where Kevin developed his love of living interactions between musicians, and the ability to recognize the spirit of an artists\\u2019 vision and to act with a sense of urgency toward nurturing an environment to allow that vision to be realized at any cost.\\xa0

Some of Kevin\\u2019s credits include: Real Estate, Pile, Parlor Walls, Mr Gnome, The Walkmen, The French Kicks, Diarrhea Planet, and Herzog to name just a few.\\xa0
