A Grammy-winning musician, producer, songwriter, and recording engineer, John Leventhal has worked with Rosanne Cash, Michelle Branch, Shawn Colvin, Elvis Costello, Bruce Hornsby and many, many others. As a songwriter he has had more than 100 songs recorded by various artists and in 1998 he won the Grammy for Record and Song of the year for producing and co-writing the song "Sunny Came Home.”
A Cubase user, John finds Drums On Demand useful as both a writer and producer. “Until recently I was just grabbing DOD audio files and dragging them into Cubase and creating song forms when writing and demoing. Recently we put all the DOD grooves into Stylus for easier access,” John says. “It's a great product. The DOD team has done an excellent job. As far as usable loop libraries go, it's the best I've heard.”
“I am currently using DOD quite a bit for writing and demoing on Michelle Branch's new album,” says Leventhal, who is using Drums on Demand as a sort of standard. “Time will tell how many DOD bits make it to the final mix, but the drummers better be good, because these grooves are solid, well-played and well-recorded.”
