A friend of mine just sent me this:

Legendary Recording Engineer BRUCE SWEDIEN on mixing/making THRILLER


When I finished mixing ‘The Girl Is Mine’ – we were at Westlake Audio in Studio D – it was about 8:00 in the evening. I was busy making safety copies of the ½ inch mix master in the control room of Studio ‘D’ at Westlake. I turned around and there was the entire group FLEETWOOD MAC: Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham. Christine smiled and said to me, “We hear that you’re making a hit record over here. May we hear it?” At that very moment I noticed that the studio and the control room were almost entirely full of people. It looked like about 100 people had quietly come in while I was busy making safety copies of the master tapes. AND they were all the most famous people in music people that you could imagine, beginning with Michael and Paul, Ringo Starr, and so on.



All the heavy-duty music recording artists that were in Hollywood at that moment were there in our studio! I played the master mix for them for the next three hours. They were having a great time dancing, acting ignorant and all. Michael hid with me in the control room, but he had a huge smile on his face, because everyone was having a great time!
