We're so happy and excited for this album, and ALSO very happy to be back in business for in-studio sessions! This week, we're already getting back in gear working on Bill Higgins' 2nd album, several new tracks from Long Beach Records, finishing up Blackbird Sky​'s new EP, more music from Stephen DeBoard​, and Glass Family Band's decades-spanning album -- all projects that were under way before the quarantine.

We are also ready for bookings to begin NEW projects, from single sessions to full albums. Use the BOOK NOW link at the top of our Page!

It's been a strange start to the year, but music helps sustain us through many hard times, and we are ready to bounce right back and make it a great summer of music-making here at D. M. Gremlin Studios! As always, we are thankful and honored for those who bring their music here and entrust us with the process of creation.

Doing some setup for tomorrow's drum tracking session with Long Beach Records. Transplanted our two newest pieces of gear and a couple of others into the rack rehomed to us from Scott Whyte's studio, and thanks to Tommy Pittam for jumping in to add a cable port to the side of the rack to make patching in and out from these pieces to the rest of the studio gear all the tidier and easier!

Top to bottom:
Manley Labs Massive Passive stereo tube EQ
AMS Neve 33609 stereo compressor
Trident Audio Developments A-Range dual mic-pre/EQ
dbx Pro 160SL stereo compressor

(And yes, the Massive Passive stays right there atop the rack, in the perfect spot for dialing in without leaning or shifting from my center listening position during sessions!)

We've added two fantastic new pieces of gear this summer, and installed an additional rack for the newcomers and a couple of pieces that have already been gracing our recordings for a while.

Manley Labs Massive Passive stereo tube EQ

This closeup on this rack is only about 1/3 of our complement of top-notch !

Last week's session updates:

Rod S was in Tuesday for what may have been the last round of editing for his ! He has the current (maybe-final!) versions of all of the chapters for listening, to determine if there are any further revisions or spots to clean up.

He was also here Friday on the D. M. Gremlin Studios Photography Studio side of things, for a for some promotional photos that will accompany the release of the book. We shot several different looks from traditional head shot portraits in business wardrobe, to a more artistic portrait style, to "on the mic" photos.

And Wednesday, Jim C was back to continue working on his album tracks. We added some new , and also reworked the ending for one song, creating a looping section for a smooth vamp and fadeout.

We ARE accepting new clients for one-time sessions as well as extended projects! Email [email protected], see "How to Request a Session Booking" at http://www.dm-gremlin.com/studio/scheduling.html, or click the "Book Now" button at the top of the D. M. Gremlin Studios Recording Studio page to get to that same location.
