One of the essentials to the production of a good cartoon show is a good recording studio and a good sound engineer. The studio where I've always preferred recording shows I produced or directed is Buzzy's, which is located on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. They have a great crew that really knows its business.
Unfortunately, that crew is one person smaller today. Larry Lantz, who was at the console for thousands of cartoon shows, radio commercials and promos, died yesterday due to complications of Diabetes. He was also a producer, a casting director and one of the truly nice men in our business. You've heard many, many programs and ads that were as good as they were because Larry was as good as he was. Which was pretty damned good.
