SPEAKERS:
Bob Dennis was mastering engineer at Motown and HDH, cutting all their hit
records before founding "Superdisc" over thirty years ago. At "Superdisc"
Bob continued to offer disc mastering on a state of the art half speed
Neumann lathe through the 1980s. The "Superdisc" name was shortened to the
slang everyone called it, "The Disc". Today Bob teaches and develops courses
for "The Recording Institute of Detroit", a trade school for recording
skills at the same location as the studio.
Greg Reilly has been manager of "The Disc" recording studio for thirty
years. Prior to that he worked at HDH Sound studios in Detroit, starting as
an intern. "The Disc" has recorded well known groups, Parliament,
Funkadelic, Mary J Blige, Busta Rhymes, The Four Tops, and Kid Rock for
producers George Clinton, Don Was and others.
