"[Bruce] wanted to try the HD system," says Botnick "He had experimented with it while it was in prototype and actually we provided a very powerful [96-channel-capable] system.

 The MC5's Kick out the Jams song-recording the MC5's Classic Track
Botnick recalls his first trip to see The MC5 prior to formally recording what would become Kick Out the Jams, a concert document that, 34 years after its release, is still one of the most powerful hard rock albums ever committed to tape.
During the morning of the gig, Heider and Botnick had a major scare: “We were putting the stuff in the truck and the machine had just come up on the lift gate,” Botnick recalls.
For the 8-tracks, Botnick had two mics out in the hall, two vocal mics, two guitar mics, a bass mic and a drum track.

"A few - according to Bruce, all of the "standard" outtakes they'd saved over the years were destroyed, inadvertantly, by an Elektra employee at one point, when WB ordered all tapes to be reduced down to their bare needed elements, and all outtakes tapes were thrown away (good thinkin' huh?).
BUT, Bruce DID pull a few surprises out, a few utterances by Jim and the others, a few little "things" here and there which are extremely cool, and we are leaving them in".
However, Bruce and I had decided NOT to use the grand master because we'd located a good master safety copy, and used that, JUST in case something like this should happen, and, lo and behold, it did.

 Butts Band : The Butts Band - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The 1973 debut of Butts Band, produced by Doors engineer turned producer Bruce Botnick, is -- along with Ray Manzarek's 1974 release, The Golden Scarab (also produced by Botnick) -- the true fulfillment of what Other Voices and Full Circle initiated.
A release of Golden Scarab and The Butts Band on one CD would be a good companion piece to the aforementioned post-Morrison Doors releases; it's most likely what would have evolved had the Doors' trio given us a third album in the early '70s.
Side one was recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, with Botnick as engineer, while in London for side two at Olympic Studios they used Keith Harwood on the boards, though Bruce Botnick is the producer of the entire package.

It is important to note that Dave Gold custom built Gold Star's board and (at least to a certain extent) an engineer would have to be familiar with Gold's equipment to be able to comfortably work there.

When asked about the.1 LFE channel, Botnick said that his mixes were all basically 5.0, but that he “always put something, anything, into the sub channel so that the light goes on and people don’t complain that it’s not really 5.1.” The others laughed in agreement, “Gotta light up all the lights!

The star-studded cast for the 2003 Ojai Playwrights Conference benefit gathered before the standing-room-only Matilija auditorium on Saturday, January 25th.
The first act was rounded out with a Masterpiece Theatre homage (complete with accents) in Ives' The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage, which starts with a murder and ends with everyone admitting their guilt and declaring their love (in a rather squishy way).
A fitting piece to follow was Ives' comic condensation of five of David Mamet's plays into ten minutes with Speed-the-Play which employed the deft cast in a series of expletives and explorations of the key parts of Mamet's dramas.

Jamie LePage says: >Bruce Botnick's name on the Expecting to Fly credits do >indicate that the side was not cut at Gold Star.
He told me his name was Bruce Botnick." Actually, in the accompanying picture of Bruce at the Sunset Sound console in 1966, he looks *maybe* 16!
Later in the book, Botnick talks about outfitting Elektra's new studio on La Cienega Boulevard and going to Ann Arbor with Jac to meet and record the MC5, so apparently Botnick was on Elektra's payroll by at least mid-'68.

 Goldsmith: Under Fire
In fact Goldsmith returned to the recording studio after the film was done to record a couple of concert pieces ("Bajo Fuego" and "A New Love") just for the album, but ended up remixing and re-recording much of the score, performing all of the electronic parts himself.
The recording, by John Richards and Bruce Botnick, is of beautiful clarity, which only adds to the listening experience.
A score featuring an array of electronics attached to a political thriller is not one you would necessarily expect to be one of the greatest ever written; but this is just that.
