Danielle from Bristol writes: Hi Simon, nice to see you back in England again! I want to ask you something. I heard a rumor that you worked with Justin Timberlake when you were in LA, is that true?
Simon: Hi Dan! Well sort of true I suppose. I was sitting having a chat in an office in Beverly Boulevard LA talking to my good friend Marie.
This place has a studio connected to it as the company deals with various songwriters and artists. The resident engineer came in panicking with a brand new Logic Pro 8 box under his arm.
The session today was Justin Timberlake and a guy called Kenna, and Justin prefers to work in Logic as opposed to pro tools (as do most artists).
They were working on a ‘Kings of Leon” track re-mix, I never heard the finished thing, but it sounded pretty good.
The engineer was worried because he had never used logic before, so I helped out, set it all up and gave the guy a crash course in Logic 8.
I was introduced to Mr Timberlake and he thanked me for my help. Then I went off and got myself a lovely hot dog!!
