Among his many accolades as a musician, guitar
maker, and entertainer, Les Paul is often credited
in our world of professional sound as the innovator
of "sound on sound" recording (i.e., overdub), using
tape delay and a number of other in-the-studio
creations. His studio creations are now on display
at the Les Paul Recording Studio in Los Angeles.
I recently visited and was shown around by Tom
Camuso of the Les Paul Foundation. The Les Paul
Recording Studio is in the former Studio D of
United Western. Interestingly, when I worked here
many years ago, it was Studio D at Ocean Way
Recording. Following are excerpts from my visit to
this historical treasure with Tom.
