Steve did the 5.1 mixes for the Capitol "Rumor and Sigh" (Richard Thompson) DVD-A and the Capitol Crowded House DVD-A.

He stopped by the Rumor and Sigh Poll Thread, but this is a better place for questions and answers that do not pertain to the poll thread.

Welcome to the forum Steve and thanks for posting and interacting. The last Capitol Engineer we had stop by here was Bob Vogien when he was doing the Quadio DVD discs for Rhino, back around 2010. Unfortunately, that program got canned after only 2 releases. Many more were planned at the time.

I copied a couple of Steve's posts from the R&S thread to this thread to get us started. Hopefully Steve will chime in for a bit.

Hello Everyone. My name is Steve Genewick, and I mixed the RT 5.1, as well as a bunch of other 5.1 titles. Thanks so much for the kind words, it was a long time ago, but it's nice to know there are folks out there still enjoying the music. Another member here was kind enough to reach out and let me know about this forum. Thanks for doing that Jonathan!

Welcome, Steve! We're really delighted to have you here.

I need to get up to speed on your other work, but Rumor and Sigh is such a beautiful mix. If RT is an enthusiast, it would be fantastic if he could get control of his back catalogue and oversee new editions with 5.1 mixes, a la XTC. (But with Steve Genewick at the board, of course. First up: Mock Tudor!)

Thanks so much for your service to the music, and welcome again!

No problem, Steve! Great to have you here!

As I mentioned to you via email, I LOVE the Crowded House 5.1 mix, one of my absolute favorite DVD-As! I also have heard the RT and Al Green titles, both excellent as well. They're all really hard to find these days, this one in particular commands some very high prices on the used disc market.

I do have a question for you, if you don't mind. One of the menus on the Crowded House disc shows a list of upcoming titles from EMI/Capitol on DVD-A, some of which came out, some didn't. I took a screenshot of it here:

I know it was a really long time ago, but were you involved with potential 5.1 mixes of either Dreamboat Annie or Surf's Up? If not, do you remember hearing anything about these projects?

Any information you have or stories about working on surround projects back when the labels were really pushing DVD-A/SACD would be so cool to hear :)

Maybe the mods can give you your own thread for members to ask questions, etc...

Again, so cool to have you here!

Hello Steve!

Thank you so much for stopping by. The Crowded House & Richard Thompson DVD-A's are two of my favorite 5.1 mixes. You do wonderful work! I would certainly be curious to hear any thoughts you have about the experience of mixing these two DVD-As'.

I hope we will hear some more surround sound mixing from you in the future.

As the others above have said, I'd love to know if the Dreamboat Annie or Surf's Up 5.1 mixes were ever completed.

Thanks so much for coming to the forum...if you don't mind me asking...what are you doing these days...any music projects or are you done with the commercial music scene...
 
Had to scrounge around last year to find this -- think the one I snagged was the last of RT's website at a regular price (it goes for 99.95 on it right now <gasp>). Wonder if that is an only copy. . . .

THE OLD KIT BAG is worth getting, too, although I don't see that for sale on his site (it's a dual disc cd/dvd). Prefer R&S, though.

I don't know anything about "Dreamboat Annie" or "Surf's Up". There are many reasons why some albums get done and some don't. Some of those reasons are technical, and some are financial. Not sure where these fall into.

I'd be happy to answer any questions that I can remember the answers too. Most of these titles were done a long time ago.

I'm still a staff engineer at Capitol Studios, and I also work independently all over the world. I do mostly records, but an occasional film or TV project once in a while. You can check out my website stevegenewick.com , it's pretty up to date.

I think Bob Vosgien also did the mastering on the Crowded House DVD-A, which Steve mixed :)

We have him credited for 5 surround mixes on the "Notable MCH Engineers" thread. Not all have poll threads.

Chris Botti - Night Sessions (SACD)
Ray Charles - Tribute (DVD, SACD)
Al Green - Greatest Hits (DVDA)
Crowded House (DVDA)
Dave Koz - The Dance (DVDA)
