Working Philosophies


Brown is known for evolving microphone techniques on the percussion section (prevalent in Xanadu - Farewell to Kings). His long tenure with Rush produced new effects for each project as Brown never succumbed to just favorites. Brown's subtle use of delays (flanging, phasing, chorusing) can be found on most of the albums he has produced with Rush. He is known to be able to capture unique spacial sounds (24 tracks that are individually placed in different places of the mix - panned, gain level, effects) as heard in '2112'. Brown has worked as both a studio producer and engineer, and as a live show producer and engineer. He was a pioneer in using MIDI applications for live performances.
Terry has established himself as a 'name' producer, and his flexibility as an engineer has made him sought after by rock acts in the industry.
