Constant -10dB on the mix bus with the @highlanddynamics BG1? Isn’t that breaking the rules? Not with this box!

We just came into possession of 15 to 20 cases like this worth of vintage audio tubes. They look NOS. It’s going to be a fun month of exploring and testing. #tubes #vacuumtubes #valves #rca #telefunken #nostubes #vintagetuberadio #vintagetubegear #vintagetubeamp

Wil Wheaton stopped by the studio today for a quick remote interview with the Canadian Broadcast Corporation. Before that I spent the morning filing endless paperwork for building permits, hosting a life coaching call, and now I edit vocals for the rest of the day. Randomness factor 8/10.

The Making Of "This One Hurts"

Aimee Nolte is the coolest, her album is wonderful, and she is a major musical resource on YouTube. She just posted a quick video of some of the production techniques we used on one of her songs, including piano felting and overtone singing!

Hang out with David Peters of Oak House Recording Studios and me as we break down the behind the scenes recording techniques of my song "This One Hurts" from...

Los Angeles is home to many amazing session players and performers, but it’s even more fun when they put together their own personal projects! More live video today in the studio with @mollyrogersmusic and co!
