The thing I love most about technology is that it has allowed me to walk away from my desk. For me, working with different artists around the world makes my job seem a lot less like work.
I can keep in touch with my office via email or IM. Now with VOIP technology, I can listen in and give input on a session happening on the other side of the globe. Next month, I will be listening in on a session in Toronto, Canada from my hotel room in Tokyo, Japan, crazy. Really crazy because the session will be starting at 3am Tokyo time.
And even if I cannot "sit in" on a session, the producer can instantly post a full fidelity audio file via iDisk or Digidelivery. Here is a link to Digidelivery so you can check it out:

You can also make high quality recordings just about anyplace in the world. Sometimes, an artist is on location and we have to bring the recording tecnology to them. Just last year, I had to travel to an artist who was working on a film in a distant location. Luck for me, he was working in the Bahamas. The photo at the top of this post is me on the set of his movie. Some film about pirates. So, if you ever make it to Grand Bahama Island, I can recommend La Dolce Vita for a wonderful dinner. Check out more of the Port Lucaya area which is where I stayed on the island.
