It’s a two pedalboards kind of day over here 😎

Panther Revival's new video for "28" is out now and it absolutely rips. 🤘

I knew this song was something special when they were here recording it this summer, but this video takes it to another level.

The new Panther Revival single drops today!

They laid down some absolute mayhem in the studio this summer and I'm so excited that it's starting to be released into the world. Stream the first single, "28", wherever you stream things, or I'll drop the Spotify link in the comments. 🤘

Band: Panther Revival
Label: Punkerton Records

New banjo day! 🪕🤎

I've been tooling around with a modified, extremely cheap guitar-banjo for twelve years, and for a long time now I've been considering making the jump to the real thing.

This Gold Tone is a thing of beauty and is everything I would ever want in a serious person's banjo.

Now to learn more than four chords on this thing... 😅

Huge congrats to Panther Revival on signing to Punkerton Records! ✊🏻

And if you want a sneak peek of the beautiful noise I helped them capture this summer, click this preview.

This song was an absolute blast to work on and there’s much more to come from those guys 🤘🏻

Well, it's a little late in the year, but this year's Pedalboard Walkthrough is up on YouTube now 😎

Acoustic time in the studio. I’ve got fresh strings on here, ready to track some sweet sounds for this pop ballad.

10/19/2023

Pumpkin cream chai and some drum editing. Let’s do this.

New guitar tutorial up today on the YouTube channel, this time for "Anything That's True" by Map & Compass.

One of my audio production heroes, Jordan Valeriote (Silverstein, Emery, Neck Deep) recently used my song "Truth or Dare" for a mix challenge over on his YouTube channel.

If you need to know how life changing Jordan's coaching was for me, I'm literally wearing a shirt for his audio training program in my profile pic here.

Link is in the comments if you're interested — it's a great watch!

If you’re in Austin, this is where you should be tonight.

Big props to Panther Revival for this rad flyer and the even radder set they’re about to play. 🤘🏻

(And man, I cannot wait til you get to hear what we got up to this summer…)

Tonight’s the night! We’ve had a few changes due to some travel and health issues,but it’s gonna be a kick ass night with 10 bands! 🖤

I'm doing a giveaway!

I’m very entertained by these custom D’Addario picks.

09/18/2023

Testing out some new drum mics I haven’t used yet, and a few old favorites that I know like the back of my hand.

09/11/2023

Spent the afternoon cleaning some old cymbals. (Barkeeper’s Friend for the win.)

09/06/2023

I normally get by with the little MIDI controller on my desk, but I’m recording a lot of piano this week so it was time to deploy the Big Keyboard.

08/29/2023

Today was my first time recording the Creamback AC15 I picked up this summer. It sounds exactly as good as I expected it to.

08/22/2023

Mastering the Panther Revival record today. Let’s go ✊🏻

08/08/2023

I’ve been awake since 4am but I’ve got a full day of mixing to do, so this coffee is the real MVP around here today.

07/26/2023

Finished bass and started tracking vocals for Panther Revival today. We’re a full day ahead of schedule and having a blast over here. 🤘🏻

07/25/2023

Another incredibly productive day of tracking with Panther Revival. Even ferocious hardcore/punk albums need the occasional acoustic guitar interlude. 😇

07/24/2023

Pics from day one of recording the new Panther Revival record. This album is going to be an absolute beast. 🤘🏻

07/20/2023

These Panther Revival guys seem cool. I'd love to record an album with them someday... 🤔😉

07/16/2023

Some days, you’ve got to mic up and record a doorbell. 🤷🏻‍♂️

07/06/2023

When you take the church projector and HDMI splitter home to test them out 📽️ It’s definitely a mood in here.

New video on the channel!

I decided to compare the delays in the HX Stomp with my large, impressive delay pedal, and I’m honestly a little unsettled by how well the Stomp handled itself.

I picked up an HX Stomp recently, as an acoustic and bass rig primarily, but of course this is a flexible unit and soon I started to wonder: what else could ...

Holed up in the studio making tracks for “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”. There have been ten thousand arrangements of this song but it’s pretty hard to top this MercyMe symphonic rock version. 🎄❄️ #loopcommunity #worshipleader #worshipleaderlife #musicproducer #musicproduction #audioengineer #homerecording #recordingstudio #christmasmusic #christmas #christmascarols #worshipmusic

I only had a few minutes to test out the new banjo so here is my mediocre attempt at an Oh Hellos song 🪕 #banjo #goldtone #newgearday #sweetwater #folkmusic

Another day making Loop Community tracks, this time for the absolute banger that is ‘Song of Hope’ by Robbie Seay Band. I love this song. #loopcommunity #worship #worshipmusic #worshipleader #worshipleaderlife #musicproducer #homerecording #audioengineer #recordingstudio

Making multitracks for Christmas songs, day one. Is it even Christmas music without bells and glockenspiel? 🎄Song is “Oh Light” by Gungor (feat. All Sons and Daughters) and man is it a good one. #musicproducer #audioengineer #homerecording #loopcommunity #worshipmusic #christmasmusic #gungor #worshipleader #worshipleaderlife #churchmusic

Another day of making tracks for Loop Community. This is a song by Rend Collective called “Weep With Me”. 🎵#musicproducer #audioengineer #recordingstudio #worship #worshipmusic #rendcollective #loopcommunity

If you’re feeling uninspired writing guitar parts, here’s a capo trick I’ve gotten some fresh ideas out of. This song is called “Pathfinders” (by Matthew LeFevers). #guitar #capo #guitarcapo #acousticguitar #indiemusic #indiefolk #guitarist

Dialing in some settings for ambient acoustic. This is a tape delay and reverse dotted eighth delay in the HX Stomp, feeding into the Neunaber Immerse mk II. I’m having fun with it. 🌊

✨ M Y S T E R Y ✨ P E D A L ✨

It usually takes me a few days to record and mix an entire song for Loop Community. On Friday I decided to see if I could do it in just one session, start to finish. I shot some video to document the process. 😎 If you’re not familiar, Loop Community offers church multitracks for live performance. What that means for me as a producer there is that just by listening to a recording of the song, I have to try and pick out every one of the (in this case, about thirty) layers and then go record them myself. It’s like doing a cover song but on steroids. Anyway I’m super happy with this one!

Inside the Mix - "Playing For Sympathy" by This Glass Embrace

A look inside the mix of "Playing For Sympathy", from the newest This Glass Embrace album. It's got glockenspiels, harps, drum filters, and sound effects. Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at the mix session!

Now that I've got this screen capture software up and running, I wanted to try something new today. Here's a look at some of my favorite sounds from a recent mix that I did. Check it out if you're into music production at all, or if you find podcasts like Song Exploder or Switched On Pop as compelling as I do. Let me know what you think — I'm definitely going to do more of these in the future!

LeFevers Audio - Fiverr Drum Reel

If anybody needs some drums recorded, I just added another gig to my Fiverr shop. (Link to that is in the comments!) But whether you need session drums or not, you should check out this sweet demo reel I made for it. This is the most camera angles I've attempted for one of these Fiverr demo videos so far.

The Pickaso Bow is easily the most clever and fun guitar gadget I’ve come across (in a lifetime of trying odd guitar gadgets). Every sound in this video was made on my acoustic guitar, either with Pickaso Bow or my fist. 🎻 Pickaso Guitar Bow #pickasobow #pickasoguitarbow #guitargear #guitarist #musicproducer #guitarbow #guitargadgets #guitar
