At the ground level, here’s some of what he does for (and with) me: Great sounds, great ideas, masterfully conceived-and-played overdubs (by Roy or others as applicable), songs improved at his suggestion, arrangements considered, patience in the sometimes-tedious and repetitive nature of the recording process, oversight of mastering, and the overarching quality that guides everything. If you’re interested in knob-turning, robotic, paint-by-numbers production stuff, save the money and do it on your Mac at home. But if you want a fully-engaged, consummately talented man to be your “Fifth Beatle” and you choose Roy Salmond to be involved, you’ve hit the jackpot. (And, no, I am not a paid spokesperson!)
