@thisisapiaudio and drums are a match made in heaven
09/07/2020
4 days, 11 songs and all the @interloperofficialgram drums are done for the new album! Insane drumming by @stechauner and drum tech IG with @ernieiniguezdrums dialing them in just right! This record is going to be so sick!
09/06/2020
Okay, I’ve officially hit the most inputs I’ve ever used for tracking drums. If we include the AMS reverb being printed, it’s 25 inputs 😳. But damn do the new @interloperofficialgram drums sounds insanely good!
09/06/2020
Since we are using all onboard preamps and EQ’s on the @interloperofficialgram drums with minimal outboard compression, the patchbay actually looks organized for once. (Also, yes the patchbay cables are organized in ROYGBIV rainbow colors)
09/06/2020
Outboard compression for @interloperofficialgram drum session. @empiricallabs on snare, @uaudio LA2A on mono cloes, Neve33609 on overhead, @hairballaudio 1176RevA on crush and @overstayeraudio Stereo VCA on rooms!

@interloperofficialgram day 3! @stechauner listening back to drums takes
09/04/2020
Happy #faderfriday everyone! Today is day 2 with @interloperofficialgram cutting drums for the new record! 21 inputs on the @thisisapiaudio just for drums! And almost no outboard gear this time, the board just sounds so good.
09/04/2020
@interloperofficialgram drums day 1: 21 mics and 1 beast of a drummer
09/02/2020
Probably the most versatile compressors in our studios, the @empiricallabs Distressor EL8X with the “British Mod”
We have a pair in both rooms, and they get used everyday! Kicks, snares, bass, vocals, DI instruments, you name it!
09/02/2020
Successful day of tracking drums, acoustic guitars, vocals, Rhodes and synth for @rohmontgomery upcoming single!
09/01/2020
Cut a beautiful track with @chocolatefountain_ in Studio 2 tonight. Live vocals and Rhodes, from the heart and sounds amazing!

Happy #faderfriday everybody! In session today with @aftr.the.hiigh

Studio 2 looking clean and pretty today! The @sslaudio AWS900 is getting a deep clean from our tech in the next day or so. Lots of fun and exciting projects in the works!
08/20/2020
The venerable Neve 33609, of in this case, the 34628! Amazing on aggressive vocals, bass, piano, rhythm guitars, drum rooms, overheads, mix buss and so many other sources! This guy is in constant use here, most recently on drum overheads. The 100ms release seems to work just right on controlling snare peaks in the overs.
08/19/2020
Throwback to tracking with @theamericansmusic ! Full length LP to 2” tape, what an insanely cool project.

By far my favorite solid state LDC of all time; the AKG 414 EB with the “brass CK-12” capsule used in the C12. Made in the 1970s, these are true workhorse mics that really made the 414 a studio staple. This version of the 414 just can’t be beat. I use them on drums rooms, drum overheads, acoustic guitar, vocals, strings, lead guitar, piano, percussion, kick drums, you name it! We are fortunate enough to have 4 of these vintage beauties in our locker.

There’s just something so satisfying about a sea of knobs and channels. Since Studio 1 is in the process of a remodel, I’ve been spending more time in this desk in Studio 2 and haven fallen back in love with the @sslaudio AWS900 It’s so clean and punchy, and the EQ is soooo good. I’ve been really linking putting the drums through the @chandlerlimited preamps, and then running line in to the console to use the EQ!
08/11/2020
Only about a week away from finish the new iso booth in Studio 1 and reopening the room for sessions! In the meantime we are working away at the new lounge and still working out of Studio 2. Can wait to start pushing some audio back through these 1073’s!
