Preston Cox

Texas State's Sound Recording Technology Department is helping local artists make a giant leap in their development. S-R-T has a reputation of turning amateurs into professionals in how they sound. Bobcat Update's Preston Cox has the story.

Andrew Maktenieks (MAC-TEN-E-AX) is a local music artist who goes by the name Chi Runner. He needed help with the final touches of his first album. He walked into the Firehouse studios on Guadalupe Street and waited for a recording engineer. That's when he met Gary Hickinbotham____ who gave Chi Runner's album a listen. Hickinbotham, a Grammy Award-winning producer, enjoyed what he heard, knowing that it had been produced with entry-level equipment. So, for the next day-and-a-half Hickinbotham shared his wisdom and helped master the album.

Chi Runner is using the knowledge he gained from the S-R-T department to produce his next album, and he wants to help other local artists record professionally as well.
