Last issue we bid farewell to studio legend Geoff Emerick, while this issue we celebrate another one of Abbey Road’s favourite son’s Martin Benge, as the worthy recipient of AudioTechnology’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Martin started his professional career as an EMI apprentice in the early ’60s, where he started building REDD51 tube consoles long before he ever operated one. Martin’s recording career in the UK, Australia and beyond has been stellar. In more recent years it’s been his ability to manage and reinvent commercial recording studios that has distinguished himself as a real pro. We hope you enjoy this in-depth cover story with Martin.
