Gary Chester has over 25 years experience in the industry. He began his career as a mastering engineer for United Artists studios, where he mastered albums for Bob Dylan, Donovan, and the New Seekers. In his early years as an engineer he recorded and mixed albums for Nancy Wilson, Jay and the Americans, and The Belmonts. After opening New York's Counterpoint Studios and running it successfully for many years, he joined the National group and opened The Edison Recording Studio in New York's famous Times Square. A studio that was designed to record and mix large orchestras, The Edison, (located in what was once the ballroom of the Edison Hotel) hosted such acts as the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the Count Basie Orchestra in the 1930's -- both of which returned to The Edison in the 1990's to work with Gary.

Besides being one of New York's premiere film score engineers, Gary records and mixes sessions for television, albums, and advertising. Among his credits are feature films composed by Howard Shore, Tan Dun, Angelo Badalamenti, Rachael Portman, Carter Burwell, Dave Robins and Stephen Endelman; the soundtrack albums for Delovely, Dead Man Walking, Silence Of The Lambs, Bronx Tales, Naked Lunch and Sweet Charity (the Broadway revival); the television specials And The Band Played On..., Liza Minnelli: Triple Play; and the Laramie Project for HBO. A few of the albums that Gary recorded and mixed were for George Benson, Marianne Faithful, Barry Manilow, Sinead O'Connor, John Tropea, Vanessa Williams and Linda Eder, John Faddis, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and the late Carl Perkins.
