mpt studio diary #5
Dave Darlington 🎤👂

When it came to mastering the album, a dear friend of Max' gave him the great advice "Check out who mastered your favorite jazz albums!" So we did, and we found a delightfully smiling man, called Dave.

Dave is a real master of his craft.
The GRAMMY-winning recording, mixing and mastering engineer worked with some of our favorite artists, such as Ambrose Akinmusire, Sting, Esperanza Spalding, or the Austrian drummer Peter Kronreif. (the list of people he worked with is long, and at one point it says "Wayne Shorter"...)

We reached out to him, and he was happy to work with us on the album.
4 days after we sent the files to Bass Hit Studios, they already came back and what we heard made us so happy.
We hope all of you check out our album "II", and hear Dave's incredible work.
Hope it will make you happy as is made us happy!
Thanks Dave 🖤🖤🖤

Congratulations to my dear friend Brian Lynch! Mixed and mastered at Bass Hit!

Mr Bongo

Back in the day....MAW!

During the compilation of our 30 year memories Dave Bongo unearthed a dusty VHS tape and discovered something very special… unseen footage of the Masters At Work at their NYC studio in the 90s!

In 1996 we had the privilege of commissioning remixes for Amtosfear’s anthemic ‘Dancin’ In Outer Space’. We called upon the legendary MAW and Dave was lucky enough to drop in on some of the sessions at Dungeon Tape (Brooklyn), and the Battery Studios NYC.

He captured some of the studio vibes during the making of what would become a classic in its own right.

"I gotta tell you, especially for rock, those drums just sat up straight in the chair; it’s unbelievable. They have this great feature that once they’re aligned then you can stagger, like you can take your room mics and move them one series of waves back, which gives you that kind of pre-delay thing which is awesome. So I’m completely addicted to that, like before I even listen to the drums I put it on."

- Legendary engineer Dave Darlington on Auto-Align

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed their sonic creativity to create distinct and user-friendly presets for our new plugin, Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain.

Presets can be a perfect way to not just find a sound easily but to also learn more about the capabilities of the plugin too. They can also give you an insight into the sound of the person who made them too. So we urge you to experiment and explore the sounds created by everyone listed below for Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain. We will be adding even more presets for the next update too!

Congratulations to my friends who came through Bass Hit on their way to the Grammys!

Category 44. Best Tropical Latin Album-Doug Beavers-"The Art of the Arrangement"
Master trombonist Doug Beavers assembled a cast of outstanding arrangers, players, soloists and vocalists for this set. Mixed and mastered at Bass Hit. Hey Doug, more congas?

Category 62. Best Instrumental Composition-The Le Boeuf Brothers and Jack Quartet-"Alkaline" from the album "Imaginist"
This is one of Pascal Le Boeuf's contributions to the album created with his brother Remy Le Boeuf, mixed and mastered at Bass Hit. It really is an incredible composition!

Category 71. Best Remix Recording-Loleatta Holloway-"Can't Let You Go" Louie Vega Remix.
This nomination is for Louie Vega and his remix which is really slammin'!
The original was done at Bass Hit produced by Yvonne Turner with amazing tracks by Alan Friedman. Yvonne, aren't you glad we were able to get that vocal off the 2" tape before it disintegrated? Loleatta never sounded better!

Good luck you all!

COLUMBUS POLICE DEPT HELPED COVER THIS UP!🌟UPDATED!🌟Original bassplayer and founder of the funk group Slave ..MARK LESLIE ADAMS SR. was murdered in Columbus Ohio on March 5, 2011 between the hours of twelve and two am... His first altercation took place at the GJ's Lounge in Columbus when he was attacked by known assailants ... The fight continued at the Marathon gas station near where he lived it ended at his place of residence on Erickson Dr. in Whitehall... Mark was hit in the back of his head not once but twice with the butt of a gun..By someone he knew ... There was a bday celebration that evening for a fellow musician friend who was also there...Mark left walking when he was attacked the last time and ended up over a neighbor's house he knew asking for help because he had been jumped... The man spoke with us in detail telling us everything he knew from the time Mark showed up at his door bleeding and asking for help. This man's name is 'Troy' .. He passed out in the man's yard and was taken inside his house where he was trying to help him...he called Marks fiance she told him to let him lay there instead of calling 911...we have all this convo on tape...he then took Mark back to his house after over an hour and a half of fiddling with what to do he took him back to Erickson where he died on the living room floor ..Detective David Dennison told me there was evidence of drugs and partying and a cover-up. The evidence that I've gathered in the nine years he's been gone is overwhelming and points exactly to the ones responsible for his death...the police knew there were several people over there and that they were trying to 'cover' up what happened.. The detective spoke about his fiance like he knew her personally..Now nine years later I'm CONFIDENT Justice will be served! There are some who know exactly what happened ...they were there that fateful night too.. Won't you find it in your heart and out of the love for Mark please come forward! The more we have the quicker this will be resolved! Please ... Contact myself or Columbus Police Dept
