I’m getting a little long-winded here, so I’ll close with this: I grew up dreaming of cutting an excellent country record. He ended up spending days upon days on mixes, he put together a beautiful string arrangement for the closing track and, while I was having a bit of a mental breakdown, handled scheduling and the overseeing of the musicians. It takes a LOT for an artist to trust someone in regards to a project like this, but I never felt that Robert was on the wrong page. He would call with ideas and sometimes I’d shoot them down (I can be troublesome and hard-headed like that) but, more often than not, I’d give him the go-ahead. ![]() His knowledge of his equipment and his musical knowledge both are top-notch. But, at the end of the day, this is the record that I’ve always dreamed of cutting and it had to be 100%. There were a lot of late night texts and phone calls, midnight mixes, and me apologizing for being such a pain in the ass. Robert went above and beyond in every sense of the phrase. It ended with Robert and I co-producing the record and, what seemed disastrous in my mind at first (anxiety, man, I don’t like change or “issues”) with the original production team falling apart, turned into quite possibly the finest working relationship that I’ve ever had. Of course, personnel changes happen and any project is going to have unforeseen quirks. Robert and Silver Fox Sound filled that spot perfectly. ![]() At first, a friend and I were producing and we needed a good engineer and a good room. When we began touring studios to cut my new record (“Izzy Miller Sings ‘Extra Bacon’ and Other Chart-Topping Hits”), we started and immediately ended at Silver Fox Sound. ![]() A studio needs a Captain and the Captain at Silver Fox Sound is Robert Fox, and he does a mighty fine job of keeping the ship afloat. Listen, anyone in the world with a checkbook, a credit card, or cash in the bank can build out a room, fill it full of quality equipment and call it a studio but that’s simply not what a “studio” is, even though that seems to be the modern definition. Silver Fox Sound is a professional, enjoyable, and affordable place to capture your music to the fullest capability, and I highly encourage any musicians who *want to record an album* to meet Robert.”
