Posted @withregram • @cappi_01 I think we all can relate to the 3 phases of the butterfly. This butterfly however was locked and is now free!

The project “Free” leaves it’s intent within the track listing. In western haiku form the poem of the “Free Butterfly” reads…

“Butterfly Rise/Free/Now/Keep Going/Places”.

With much affection I’m proud to say-

All songs are sound sculpted by the great Alex Sterling. Recorded and finalized @precisionsoundnyc

The cover art is hand painted by the one and only @lizzy.lightning

I hope you embrace this presentation. It’s indeed dedicated to you all. With complete care I encourage you to be free!

I’m excited to share that I’ve been producing a delightful project that’s about to come out. Instrumental landscapes by me, vocals by the poetic and deeply thoughtful lyricist @cappi_01 Sometimes butterflies emerge from cocoons only to still remain trapped and locked by time and chance. Soon they will be “Free” (this Friday) wink wink.

For now embrace the single “Butterflies” by Cappi

Thank you Alex Sterling (affectionately Dr. Alex)! for your production, guidance and welcoming me into @precisionsoundnyc . I am most appreciative to you my dear friend.

Special shout art:) to the artist of the luscious hand painting @lizzy.lightning . Thank you for your beautiful work. Cheers to you Liz! I’m so grateful to know you.

Sometimes the EQ looks funny but the sound gets better. This is on a bass drum mic. Adding the boost focused the thump and punch and the cut reduced a weird overtone. Sort of like the “Pultec trick” but in this case in a much tighter pairing of frequencies and far narrower Q.

We’re always trying to improve how we do things. Whether it is to improve the client experience or increase the efficiency of operations or both. In this case I wanted to build a better video chat solution for all the remote supervised work we’ve been doing. This mobile monitoring station will serve as the new foundation for remote production supervision video and audio tie in. It runs on a dedicated Mac Pro for hosting Google Meets/Zooms with HD we**am and audio link to the studio DAW via Dante. In addition to video chat it also doubles as a mobile video monitor when doing scoring or dubbing to picture in the live room.

#sequentialob6 and #moogone make a mighty fine couple.

#coles4038 in Mid Side config on piano gives a very nice capture of low end physicality with a smooth presence and top end. Using @baeaudio #bae1084 preamps for this one. Sounding clear and open.

Excellent blend of two ribbon mics on acoustic guitar. @royerlabs #royerr122 for the low end and @beyerdynamic #beyerm160 for the top end. Both going through @coil_audio preamps.
