TSO Engineer & Co-Producer Dave Wittman interviewed
#1
A rare interview with Wittman on the DoubleStop Podcast:

Wittman discusses his career as a Recording Engineer. From meeting Jimi Hendrix as a teenager, and his first job with Eddie Kramer, to working in the studio with KISS (and the Van Halen demos with Gene Simmons), Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Billy Idol and much, much more. He also discusses the change in the music industry with grunge, and his work with Trans-Siberian Orchestra both in studio and on the road. Funny story about how Dave does not actually watch the TSO Show when he is mixing it. He also discusses how he fills in on various instruments on the last couple of albums (Labyrinth lists his credit as "DRUM, GUITAR AND BASS INSERTS FOR THOSE LITTLE THINGS THE REST OF US FORGOT".

The entire interview is pretty interesting, but the TSO portion starts at about the 58-minute mark.
