Looking for a studio in Portland, May 30/31
I'm looking for a studio that would let me bring a project in as a freelance engineer. The band is a jazz quartet (possibly quintet), no piano, just horns, acoustic bass and drums. An Iso booth for the bass would be great, working in Logic would be a bonus for me because that's my DAW of choice, and...

Good to read it came out the way the artist wanted it. Remember, if the albums is NOT a drummer's, then WHY should the drums be front and center? They need to be in their place, BEHIND the stars of the show. Cheers Yeah, I totally get that. Changing the balance of the tenor mics actually made the d...

I sent a new round of mixes to the client, and he signed off on them, and actually sounded as if he liked them! What I did: Changed the blend of the U87 and the ribbon mic to 50/50, had been about 70/30 U87. This added some more bottom to the tenor. There's a lot of drum bleed in the ribbon channel,...

Turn up the heat and feed him lots of doughnuts. This is the best answer. Love it! Hey, thanks for all the input. I should have mentioned that re-tracking is not an option at this point, though I'll take some of the suggestions into our future sessions. We actually did some pretty extensive pre-pro...

Jazz tenor player wants to sound "warmer and rounder&qu
I'm working with a great post-Coltrane jazz tenor sax player. He gets a terrific tone, to my ears at least, but never seems satisfied with his recorded sound. In the last round of mix revisions, he asked to make his horn sound "warmer and rounder." In the past, when I've pushed him to clarify his te...

Missed this thread! Last Thursday, the 4th, was the first session for a possible CD by a latin band I've been playing with for about a year and a half. It's 3 percussionists who rotate between congas, bongos, timbales, cajon, shekere, etc, bass, guitar, and keys (me). Our bandleader, one of the perc...

A studio I've done a number of projects in lately has a pair each of Audix D2's D4's. Really liking them on toms quite a bit. One project I did there has, IMHO, the best tom sound I've ever captured. The fact that it was a great drummer on a well-tuned kit with new heads didn't hurt, but the Audixi ...

Work 2 days a week at possibly the last used record store on the west coast. Do a lot of spoken word/audio book work at my home studio, and gig with 4 different bands. Somehow I almost manage to pay my bills every month. Just started a part time work-at-home gig for a contractor working for Google, ...
