Setting up a few sessions and rehearsal schedules for this weekend. Very grateful to be doing what I love again!

When I closed the studio in Leesburg, I took about 6 months off from recording artists and teaching lessons. I've been working hard to finalize my own album as well as fitting into a full time job. I took an unexpected call and booked a session yesterday, breaking that stride. I'm not a spiritual person but when I set up those mics, greeted the artist, and got to the desk again everything felt in place. I believe happiness is what they call it 😅
Groove is once again open for business but occupying the wonderful studio, Goose Creek Music and Entertainment in Purcellville. Very professional, comfortable, and large home studio. Huge thanks to Mike Pugh for the use of the space! Looking forward to recording, mixing, and mastering many future projects. Shoot me an email at [email protected] to setup a session!

After over four years, I have decided to close Groove permanently. I have been trying to sell the business since April, met with a few interested buyers, but no one has purchased the business. It is an unfortunate situation but there will be bigger and better things. I want to take the time to appreciate and thank all the artists, students, parents, my family, and friends who have helped support Groove over the years. Especially my parents and my wife who have been there for me every step of the way. With that support, I have been able to keep the business going and maintain a fraction of commercial success and happiness. Unfortunately, the positives have not outweighed the negatives.
I have worked very hard the past four years to create a space to learn, record, mix, and master music. When I was 12 years old, I decided that I loved recording and one day would open a studio of my own. I saw myself sitting at an SSL 4k E console somewhere in California, with a rock band in the live room, a few great engineers in the control room (including myself), and a fat paycheck. It was my dream. I put in the time and work to learn and get myself there during high school, college, got a degree in Music Business, and opened up a place to call my own. In some ways my dream did come true. However, it has truly been a struggle to keep Groove afloat.
Teaching students and working with local and touring artists has been a lot of fun in so many ways. I have so much passion for recording and mixing and guitar pedals. I get so excited to talk about circuitry, compression, and audio in general. It pains me to have to close our doors, but I believe that there is good reason. I have a few more students finishing up their packages this month, a couple more projects to wrap up, and an album of my own to finalize.
With all this said, we will be leaving the premises on/before July 31st. If you are interested in buying gear, instruments, studio furniture, sound treatment/proofing, speakers, etc… we have a lot of it. Vintage and new. You can reach me at (703)-507-0980 or [email protected]. There are some items on Facebook and Reverb, but I have a full list of all the items available. I could really use the help to sell everything that I can. All pieces are priced out accordingly and ready for a new home.
I hope that as I find a new career path that I’ll start to see optimism and admiration once again. Maybe one day I’ll find that SSL console dream possible again. Thanks for listening and your support. This is Captain Groove signing off.

Like new/lightly used PreSonus Tube preamp for $125.
Features drive and gain knobs with clipping monitor, VU meter, mic/line in, mic/line out, phase switch, instrument/mic button, hpf at 80hz, and phantom power.
From PreSonus:
Compact, the ever-popular TubePre V2 professional tube preamplifier employs our popular XMAX Class A solid-state preamp, followed in the signal path by a 12AX7 vacuum-tube stage. A dual-servo (no capacitors) gain stage lets you boost the signal to smoking hot levels without significantly increasing noise. Discrete components and high-voltage operation offer dynamic range and detail not found in other single-channel tube preamps in its class. Built tough enough for serious gigging, the TubePre V2 is a great choice for guitars and microphones alike.

Finalized the mix and master for Anne Marie Pecha's dialogue project! Editing and mixing speech is much more meticulous than bands :)
Could not have done this mix without the amazing NR800 by McDSP. So smooth and easy to eliminate noise issues without sacrificing quality.
Could not have done the mastering without the IK Multimedia
TR5 Classic Clipper. Great dynamic control and harmonic characteristics!

Online Rock Guitar Lesson 4: Five Tips for Practice
In this week's lesson, Shawn talks let's you know 5 tips on practice and learning guitar. 1.Tuning 2. Keep the Guitar Accessible 3. Make Goals 4. Practice Sitting & Standing 5.

Online Rock Guitar Lesson 3: Moveable Major Scale
In our third online lesson, Shawn discusses the 2 octave, 6 string major scale. This scale shape is moveable. This means that you can start on any fret of the 6th string, follow the left hand shape, and still result in a 2 octave major scale. Pretty cool huh? (Free PDF chart below!) Starting in the key of C (no sharps, no flats) then transposing the scale to G major (1 sharp, F#). Don't forget to practice different rhythms (1/4, 1/8/, and 1/16 notes) as well as alternate picking, tremolo picking, and slurs. Learn the scale before making things too difficult on yourself!

Online Rock Guitar Lesson 2: Strength + Speed
In this video, Shawn Hatfield discusses left hand exercises to help with strengthening and stretching the fingers.

Online Rock Guitar Lesson 1: E Chords
Premiering our free Online Rock Guitar Lesson series with Shawn Hatfield, we start by talking about the E power chord, E5, E Major, and E Minor. The E Power Chord and E5 are often used synonymously, however there is a slight difference. The full power chord has the higher octave E included to give it the "power" it's missing.

Love the @sslaudio E Channel by @wavesaudio on acoustic guitars. Here we have two acoustic guitars with just slightly different settings for a wide left and right.

Loving the McDSP 4020 Retro EQ and 4030 Retro Compressor on this guitar room mic! King St. Band It's so nice to have 4 bands, HPF, LPF, and an I/O section for EQ. Very #versatile and #analog sounding! The 4030 is an amazing vintage sounding #compressor.

Drum Tutorial: Practicing Subdivisions
Hey folks! In this video Warren Hayford demonstrates a quick and easy subdivision exercise. He shows how to take a beat and split it into 2's, 3's, 4's, all the way up to 8's and back down. He begins each subdivided grouping with an accent. The goal of the exercise is to transition between each subdivision as smoothly as possible. #drumming #tutorial #grouping #drums #snare #pattern #exercise #GrooveStudios #GrooveRecordingStudios #drummer #sticking #zildjian #remo #evans #cymbals #microphone #gear #smooth #subdivision

CLA-76 Intro on Acoustic Guitar
Check out this quick introduction to the Waves Audio CLA-76 compressor on a C210ce by Taylor Guitars. The CLA-76 is based on the popular 1176 Peak Limiter originally made by UREI in 1967. You can set the ratio to 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, and All. Unlike most compressors, the attack and release settings are slowest when set to the lowest setting and fastest when it is set to the highest setting. Superfast attack! You can purchase the CLA 76 now for $59 here - https://www.waves.com/plugins/cla-76-compressor-limiter #waves #groovestudios #groove #recording #mixingengineer #production #taylorguitars #wavesaudio #producing #mixing #guitars
