I'm pretty sure that's not Chris in the picture. I don't see any Chuck Taylors.

That IS odd. I can't really see my feet in the photo. I think maybe I had them tucked up on the center post of the chair. I can kind of see one of them (the bottom of my left foot, methinks), but not the other. I can guarantee, though, that I was totally wearing black Chucks.
Things are going great. Learning some interesting things about the console that I wasn't aware of before. I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the mute grouping on stuff and still learning the multitude of routing possibilities. The console itself sounds great. I love that you can turn the EQ knobs like, REALLY a long way and it actually sounds good.
Got into a couple of mixes today where I was able to experiment with really bordering on overloading the line inputs and bringing the faders back. Cool sound for certain things. Still making large use of the channel filters and for all you Dynacord fanatics out there, "Hot Chicken Mix" has made two appearances on the record.

Thanks, John! As for posting tracks, that will be up to David, as it's his stuff, but I can totally say without hesitation that he's got one hell of a good record on his hands and you should totally run out and buy it as soon as it's available. I'm really psyched about this project and I'm glad I was able to make this one happen on the console first.
In fact, we were intending to work a schedule of just about a song a day and we're four days into it and have seven songs done. We even have alternate versions of a few of them, too.

The Chucks are totally there. Plus, you can practically see Chris just about turning around to tell you some really funny story that almost sort of relates to something going on in the mix....a story about....hmmmm....."Hot Chicken Mix", for instance. Heh!
Hot Chicken Mix.

Wow...thanks Chris...much appreciated! I'm really stoked at how it's come out. Truth be told though, Chris has had so much to do with the record coming out so well on so many fronts.
We master next week, so the record will be done and I'll certainly be posting up songs on my website for some pre-release listening. Not to be all self-pitchy or whatever, but that just makes the most sense to me. I can definitely post something here as soon as I do that for those interested.
Man, this week is just flying by.

I don't think they make Chucks big enough for his paws.
I like that in that control room picture, you can see the 1984 Fisher Price Karaoke machine through the window.

The console is an Amek Angela, which I mentioned on page two.

Ha! The funny part is that Max almost never opens his eyes much at all unless he thinks he might need to kick some ass. He's a big frick'n dude, too...that's no joke about the Chucks not being big enough for those paws!
I like max...no one tells him he isn't actually a grey tiger so he goes on about his day pretty much like a big grey tiger might.

I worked on one of his records, and I still listen to it all the time. Great person, great record. This guy has a great voice and writes cool songs. What else do you need?
(a good engineer like garges mixing it...) |
Aw, shucks.
Well, it doesn't hurt that he's a great guy to hang out with, either.

I was fortunate enough to never watch any shows with Tony Danza in them, so I don't have that same hangup.

Holy shit...it's Tony Danza. No, really....it must be cuz I read it on the internet. Wait'll I tell my mom Tony Danza signed my internet!!
On a side note, thanks for the kind words, you dooods. Mixing is officially over and done....up next, mastering with Brent Lambert!
On topic, I got to play with the console myself for a while today....very smooth and steady piece, that one....yessir! I'm thinkin' I would love me some RADAR as well. Hell, I'll take 2 of each.
Ah, last week.....those were the days.
