Adam C Mastering, Oklahoma City, OK (2021)

10/10/2021

Despite not posting as often lately, I'm still here, loving life, mastering, and being active in the community. Speaking of, here's some shots from last weekend where 3 of my clients all had shows in one night and I got to catch them all! Thank you to @itsheartspace @lisahellermusic @stepmomband and everyone else I have the pleasure of working with, for making great art that I - and so many others - enjoy.

It was fun to catch a few clients of mine performing recently at the @myriadgardens in downtown OKC. It was a great evening of awesome music. And it's always fun to hang with the people I get to work with!

I recently paid a visit to @tylergarcia at @33rdstreetstudio and had a ton of fun catching up and talking shop. More photos on the way, but for now, I thought I'd feature some monitors and a little vibe :) What's your favorite piece for each category?

What a beautiful space at the wonderful @tmgokc studio A. These folks are constantly cranking out buttery smooth music and I'm glad to have worked with them many times over the years.

Featured here is their incredible @amsneveltd Genesys console. Have you ever heard one or worked with one?

Shout out to the chill vibe at @veuxstudios here in OKC. I love it when acoustical treatment becomes functional art like this massive diffusion panel. There's a lot to be said for making your work/art environment a space you want to spend lots of time in, and @jamesiconner has done a great job of that with his space.

Really fun to be going to more live shows again. These shots are from a killer lineup for the recent @speakmemoryok vinyl release show at @89thstreetokc (the vinyl and EP were a blast to master, BTW).

Great meeting and hanging some with @cicadiaokc and @plainspeakmusic as well. All 3 are great bands, and I'm glad I got to hear them live :)

I was a drummer before getting into audio. Anyone else an engineer that started as a musician? What do you play?

Shot this in the tracking room at the beautiful @lunarmanorstudios

Which stank face is better, 1 or 2?

Honestly though, if you could hear what was going on when I snagged these shots of @matt_stansberry throwing down some heat the other day, you'd know it was for real.

Mics! Here's a couple that were out when I visited @tayjdang at @lunarmanorstudios recently. Even snagged a shot of @jasonscottmusic in action :)

Recognize either of the mics here? What are some of your personal favs, and what do you like to use them on?

I recently visited the beautiful, super vibey studio of @lunarmanorstudios and spent some time chatting with @tayjdang during a session with @jasonscottmusic who was a pleasure to meet.

This is a super cool studio with so many fun options, and Taylor is a killer engineer and producer. I know - I've mastered some tracks for him :) More photos coming in future posts!

I don't know about you, but when I saw this big ol' wheel on the EMT 140 plate reverb while visiting @tmgokc all I wanna do is grab that thing and give it a spin 🤣

Quite the cockpit @cardinalsongokc has going. It was so fun to hang with @trepstrash at his studio not too long ago, and snap some shots of this killer space too!

For those who record vocals, what's your vocal mic of choice? And any guesses which mic this is?

Another shot from my visit to @veuxstudios with a super chill, vibey space. James is a very talented producer and engineer.

Who would want to create some music here? 🙋‍♂️

I really enjoyed catching up with my buddy @jamesiconner at his beautiful studio @veuxstudios recently. What a nice guy, and super cosy space. More shots coming soon!

Favorite compressor? Here's a couple close ups I took of some classic FET and Opto options at @cardinalsongokc recently.

When it comes to compression, there's no shortage of choices out there. Not only does each type (VCA, FET, Opto, Vari Mu, etc.) offer a special style and sound, but each individual version of these types of compressors has a unique sonic signature. Not to mention the added variety of things like FB or FF modes, PWM, parallel processing, HPFs, and more. It's pretty cool and kinda amazing really, all the different results you can get with compression.
