"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!

I know we've lost a lot of musical heroes lately, but this news really hit me hard.
When I was a younger, very green engineer, I was lucky enough to work at Air Studios, Oxford St. in 1989. Before my session started I asked the receptionist if Sir George might be around and that if so, I would love to meet him and tell him how much he influenced me. She said she would pass along my request.
Sure enough, right at 4 o'clock (teatime, of course), the phone chirped and a voice said, "Sir George will see you now in Studio A".
I was allowed access to his custom designed domain and got to watch him mix, musical score strewn across the Neve, for a few minutes. When he finished, he spent an hour with me chatting about the business, telling stories about recording "Live and Let Die", and being the consummate polite English gentleman that he truly was.
We are all so very lucky that he lived in our times, and gave us so much.

Thank you Sir George.

Michael Bates mixed his 4th album in 2 years (yes 4th!) with Dave, for his group Boom Crane. He's one of the most prolific and sought-after bassists of the new generation and he and DD have a great rapport, both being bassists.

Michael Bates is a compelling example of what it means to be a musician in the new millennium. He is a near virtuoso double bassist, visionary composer, active bandleader, curator and educator who thrives in many musical worlds. With an eye to the future, his music draws from jazz, classical, world…
