Adding a new stereo bus compressor to the studio. The Heritage Audio HA-609 Limiter/Compressor. This is a clone of the classic Neve 33609. It’s a colorful compressor/limiter that is going to serve multiple purposes from tracking to group busses and mastering. I’ve always loved the color Neve adds to sounds and the heritage does a great job of providing this sound while also including its own features and character.

Join me, on a mission through the streets of Los Angeles to find the Sonics. The Sonics which contain the magic of sounds that craft the hits records we have heard throughout our lifetime. It has been said that most of the legendary artists, and producers have at one point gotten there hands up on the Sonics. Well, it’s time for this Detective to set forth on this investigation. I’ve been in this game to long and it’s my turn to get a peak into the box that contains all the sounds to make the hits that are eternal.

Join me on this trip and I promise you, you won’t be disappointed

Los Angeles Protests: Liberty or Anarchy? Justice for All

LOVE AND TOLERANCE

These are two words that are needed right now.

LOVE- unconditional affection with no limits or conditions

TOLERANCE- the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

Everyone is going through different emotions right now and everyone expresses themselves in different ways. Whether you are protesting on the streets, donating, or posting your thoughts on Social Media it all plays a part.

I’ve yet to see anyone that disagree’s with the fact that George Floyds death was unjust. Seeing a man struggling to breath and watching him go through the last moments of his life is a horrific experience just to see. George Floyd had to live it and die by it. Through numerous variables this mans death sparked something that sent a shockwave throughout the Country.

There are certainly things in this society that are broken, out of date, and in desperate need of change.

Everyone feels something right now and it's easy to judge those who don’t align with your value system or stand with you on everything you believe in. We live in an Information Age where we are constantly being blasted with ideas and views that are being pushed on us. Whether you listen to the main stream news, influencers on Social media, or your friends and family, someone wants to tell you how to think and feel.

The way I choose to express myself is through music and film. In collaboration with a few others. Myself, and a few others filmed this from Friday May 29th through Wednesday June 3rd throughout Los Angeles areas of downtown, Fairfax District, and Santa Monica. This footage shows the energy on the streets from the protests, to the anarchy, the destruction, to the unity and more. A lot of emotions were expressed.

The video runs for 8 minutes and 46 seconds because that is said to be the amount of time George Floyd was pinned to the ground.

There are two pieces of music used. The first piece, represents more of the anger, aggression, and chaos that was captured and felt in the streets. The 2nd piece shows more of the protests, the community, and the aftermath of some of the areas effected.

No #newmusicfriday from Digital Dust but we have something a little more special. Over the course of #quarantine we have toned in on a new vision for the business. We are working to provide a platform for independent artists. Letting them create a home for their music, videos, merch, show dates, tickets, and more. Our vision is to grow a community for artists and bands to work with each other and we are taking 0% of the profits generated by these artists and bands. There is no fee to be apart of Digital Dust except taking your music seriously. If you have worked with our studio before and you want to learn more about how to be apart of this please DM us and we will explain everything. We only want to help artists create a transaction and keep growing their dreams into reality. Check out @sounddetective47, @imori01, @DrifterShapeShifter, @Georgebellmusic, @Elvfmusic, and @colton4five on our website (link in bio) under the the artist section. ❤🤝🎶

@imori01 has an amazing project in her hands, a lot of time and patience went into this #antipop masterpiece. @sounddetective47 had the honor of playing the acoustic and producing the first track Addicted. I'm very excited to see what comes to her from this project. So much potential! 🙌💕🕵️‍♂️

Digital Dust is standing strong and over the next couple days/or weeks we are going to operate from home. Who would have thought a recording studio isn't essential... pshshs it is for us 🤦‍♀️😷 So during the CA 'Stay at Home' order every one at Digital Dust vows to seek inspiration and work on our own music. If you have a current project being mixed or mastered by us we will still be able to knock those out and we are still open to any mixing or mastering services. We surprisingly did the dirty work in deconstructing some of the studio the day before the lockdown and originally we had planned on operating part remote but still open for business as normal. Obviously things changed and now we are just like a lot of struggling small businesses hoping to remain afloat and couldn't be in more need for your help. I don't want you to hurt yourself to help us but if you can please take a look at our online store. (Link in bio) We got Tshirts for everyone and Sample Packs for producers / beat makers. Right now you can pre-order the newest sample pack, The Sonics tribute to Dr. Dre, and we will send you the Island Dystopia pack for free. Over the next day we are going to create more incentives like this so that everyone can find a way to support our recording studio during the downtime. Thank you so much of you read this far and please share this post.

Our city has been in a state of mourning over this past week. As you all know Kobe was an icon, artist, basketball player, husband, father, and leader to so many people. The Mamba Mentality is something that we embody at Digital Dust. To so many people Mamba Mentality means something different and to us we embrace the focus and relentless effort to succeed. We want to prosper with the greats and don't expect it to come easy. We can never find enough time in the day and often work into the next. The Mamba Mentality is heavy in our hearts and will live on through Digital Dust. 💜🐍💛
We had a launch in line for this week but chose to hold off. It didn't feel right filling our feed with new promo and projects when everyone was in such a shocked and sad state of mind. Are hearts are with the families who have been affected by this tragedy. We are Los Angeles based and this entire week the city has been slow. Tonight the Lakers are playing there first game back and tomorrow WE BEGIN THE ROLL OUT. #mambamentality #digitaldustmusic #2020 #ripkobe #ripgigi
