The things I get to play with at work. Yasseah. New gear floating through Signaturetone this month:
Chandler TG-1 Abbey Roads Limiter – this baby is a squash machine straight out of the dudes behind The Beatles brains and right into my abusive hands. Plus ours is the fancy modded version (ooh, for the one or two geekers who care) with the fast attack option. Take that dynamics, you bastards!
Urei LA-3A w/Teletronix Badge (2) – hey look, it’s the compressor that Pro Tools has - WAIT, no, this is the real deal 70′s era gooey dynamic love. Stereo racked and rolling, this is a close cousin of the first compressor I ever used at the ripe old age of 18 (a silverface Urei LA-4), found in a crapped out recording studio I did my first ever album in. Oh nostalgia. Tear/sniffles.
Manley Enhanced Stereo Pultec – what can I say. It looks so nice next to the Massive Passive in that rack, does it even have to do anything? Answer: no, but it sure does.
Buhhhh gear. Enough.
I’ve been doing some tracking for a few new tunes with Marty Brueggermann, one of which he’s described as “retro 50′s malt shop music of the future” which I can’t really deny is a good way to put it. This week I’ll be firing up tracks with one of my favorite local electronic acts The New Monarchs – keep an eye peeled for a remix I did of their tune “Electrocaching” in the near future, I’m super stoked on it. Today I’ll be finishing up stem mastering on the first release by local hardcore/post rocker Mourner with producer/beard owner Steve Henningsgard (or has my hands just typed, Steve Henninsgsgesesgaaard). Expect the rock.
More to come soon, I have a few really exciting projects coming this month including a new disc from members of The Skullcranes and the new album from big big big sound purveyors Lungs. Keep it tuned here for me, saying things, about stuff. With words.
