SCOTT FRANCHUK
 In an industry that spits up and chews its own on a regular basis, Scott Franchuk has not only survived, he’s thrived.

A professional since 1997, the Alberta native has been involved in all stages of album production – as a recording engineer, mix engineer, mastering engineer and producer on over 40 full length albums and countless demos. Three incarnations of Riverdale Recorders hosted most of this work, with Scott upgrading as the assignments rolled in, the studio boasting new technology even as his recordings also gained a reputation for sounding organic and warm in the midst of the digital recording revolution.Many of those albums are by the cream of the crop of Alberta bands – Old Reliable and its various spin offs The Swiftys, Mark Davis, Shuyler Jansen, as well as Terry Morrison, the Shiftless Rounders and AA Sound System. Scott’s reputation is such that he’s first choice for many local – and regional – acts, but it should also be noted that his client list includes many return recordings, with Old Reliable in particular tabbing him to produce and mix all four albums in their discography.  His live recording resume is similarly impressive - via his affiliation with

CKUA radio Scott Franchuk has worked with the likes of Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Ian Tyson, Jerusalem Ridge, and The Co-dependents.

With Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans - an internationally successful, Juno and Canadian Country Music Award winning act for whom he’s Live Mixer and Production Manager – he’s traveled and plied his trade at such venues as the Glastonbury Festival in Southern England, Rexall Place, Ottawa Roots and Blues Festival, Mariposa, as well as various other
festivals, clubs and theatres in the U.S., Canada, and the UK.

Aside from his work in music, Scott Franchuk has also freelanced in live television mixes, radio production, film sound, sound design and post production for a number of different clients. He’s recorded the voices and is responsible for the sound design and mix for Rantdog (a web based cartoon made in Edmonton) and Innovation Anthology (CKUA’S science program.)

CORIN RODDICK		 Corin Roddick is a young engineer/producer, but with no shortage of fresh ideas. Being the latest addition to Riverdale Recorders, Corin is bursting on to the recording scene and making a impact by working with a large and ever growing variety of artists and bands. He is not limited to any style of music, and is always willing to experiment with sounds in the studio to attain the most pleasing results. Whether you're after those biiig smooth radio tonz, or you want to hear more fret buzz on those guitar strings, he can make it happen.

Corin is also vastly involved in the music scene. Being a musician himself (drums, guitar, keys, etc.), he has played in a ton of bands and always has at least a few projects on the go. He knows what it's like to be a starving band on the road squished into a cramped van, and not wanting to trade it for anything.
