Hey folks!
In this video Warren Hayford demonstrates a quick and easy subdivision exercise. He shows how to take a beat and split it into 2's, 3's, 4's, all the way up to 8's and back down. He begins each subdivided grouping with an accent. The goal of the exercise is to transition between each subdivision as smoothly as possible.

Always a treat to work remotely with our buddy Josh Stanley! Giving a few pointers on his home studio setup in Gladstone, OR. Yesterday we talked about mic placement & techniques on tube guitar amps. Today we troubleshot interface and connection issues and solved the problem. Looking forward to our next session!
It was great to finally meet with Paul Masinelli today at the studio and discuss future projects! Paul is a music instructor, songwriter, and performing musician. He's a fellow Radford University alumnus!
Looking forward to putting you on #tape!
We're late to the game but we just subscribed to Tape Op Magazine at Groove! Very excited to receive our first copy.

Are your guitar tracks missing a little punch? Do your reverbs sound thin and weak?
We use an 1176 style compressor plugin on nearly all of our projects. We're happy to say that we just purchased an 1176 hardware unit at Groove, super excited to use that on future mixes! #success
Waves Audio, Slate Companies, and Universal Audio offer great software versions of 1176.

Introducing the debut singles "Leesburg" & "Task At Hand" by Lettuce Prey! Lettuce Prey is a collaborative effort by Shawn Hatfield and Derek Summers. "Leesburg" has some great old school funk elemen
Tonight at midnight we're dropping two singles from Lettuce Prey (Shawn Hatfield & Derek Summers). A lot of emotion and nostalgia involved in this project. Lettuce Prey is a Groove & AGR production, but it is personally one of the best projects I have ever been a part of.
"Leesburg" has some great old school funk elements and the lyric content drops you right in the mid 1990s of our very own Leesburg, Virginia. The groove, style, and explicit use of synth of this track will keep you dancing.
"Task At Hand" rocks you from beginning to end with eye opening craftsmanship on the mic. Derek has an inherent ability to carve lyrics into a beat with all the flow and attitude you'd want.
Seriously, work with Derek!
Really awesome First Friday Re-Opening! Thank you all so much for the support. We premiered two debut singles from Lettuce Prey with a great response!

Check out this quick introduction to the Waves Audio CLA-76 compressor on a C210ce by Taylor Guitars. The CLA-76 is based on the popular 1176 Peak Limiter originally made by UREI in 1967. You can set the ratio to 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, and All. Unlike most compressors, the attack and release settings are slowest when set to the lowest setting and fastest when it is set to the highest setting. Superfast attack! You can purchase the CLA 76 now for $59 here - https://www.waves.com/plugins/cla-76-compressor-limiter #waves #groovestudios #groove #recording #mixingengineer #production #taylorguitars #wavesaudio #producing #mixing #guitars
