It was a joy and an honor to be among the many contributors who created #DrumTogether
.
This drum-tastic version of “Come Together” by @thebeatles - featuring 100+ drum legends - was made so we can all come together to support @whyhungerpix in building a just, hunger-free world.

Back at it with @brandonniederauer - shown here conducting a Tube Screamer shootout with his 1981 TS-808 and our @jhspedals Bonsai in 808 mode. Which wins, you ask? It’s a really close call.

The other day I wrote a Facebook post about how I learned over time, and through experience, that a guitar tone can often work better in a mix with a little less gain, as opposed to more. My friend @themikedenton insisted that this means I can therefore only record clean tones because by reducing gain, you get a clean tone. Let’s see if his theory checks out!

Here’s a shot of @g.ramos_13 tracking bass for “Play It Again” by Chloe Hennessee Music. This was Gaby’s first ever recording session and wow did she deliver! Her bass playing sits on a foundation of 9 years of drumming experience, so she’s a double threat rhythm section musician. No doubt she’ll back again and again. Also, sweet new Rickenbacker!

‘Tis the season (to produce Christmas songs). These @lpmusicofficial sleigh bells arrived this morning. They sound just awesome, are LOUD, and robust and durable enough to hammer nails. This thing has some serious weight though all you need is a light touch for this one to light up Rudolf’s nose.

We’re stunned and incredibly saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Francis Manzella. Francis was a renowned recording studio designer whose incredible work spans the globe. It was a pleasure to work with him to design The Ice Plant. He was so generous in sharing his knowledge, expertise and experience, as well as a lot of fun. We learned so much from him, and thanks to his design work we were able to be better at what we do, which in turn gave a even better experience and final product to our clients, which in turn gave more joy to their fans and listeners of music in general. He also was incredibly compassionate and thoughtful about the world we live in, especially with regard to matters of social justice. His memory will live on not just with those who knew him, but in the recording studios he designed, and the music made in them. Rest ln Peace, Francis.

Hybrid picking in E mixolydian on our vintage #telecaster 💛🎸 #teletuesday

Exploring our new Mellotron M4000D with a short composition I created for marimba and bass clarinet ensemble:) A modern version of what is essentially the first sample-based synthesizer, the M4000D sounds identical to the original Mellotrons from the 60s and 70s, as the sounds are sampled from the original first-generation tapes that the vintage ones were made from. Updated for modern music production, it has various output and expression options, MIDI, etc. Other modern features include aftertouch, depth sensitivity, plus the ability to play and blend 2 sounds simultaneously-- which I think makes the unit really powerful, as it can create some lush textures even when playing a single note. When it comes to playability, it feels quite luxurious, as the M4000D sports a wooden keyboard that is remarkably smooth and responsive. All combined, these features create a truly seamless, expressive, and ANALOG experience while also giving the convenience and stability that the digital realm provides. And on top of that, it’s loaded with 100 loops from the Mellotron and Chamberlain libraries, making it essentially all of the best Mellotron models in a single instrument. Thanks to @danphysics at @altomusic_bk for sending this our way!
