Thank you brother!! Always love jamming, even when you don’t know it 😆 (this BNL song/album is one of my favorites, when I heard Justin killing it I ran to the drums)

Hi friends! With Away In Your Dreams only DAYS away from it's release, I want to introduce you all to the other players in the band throughout the week. First up, David Ezra Chaletzky

First and foremost... you need to know what a BEAST Dave is. This video is a perfect example, and something I wasn't originally going to post. He took a simple video I did just having fun in the studio which some of you have already seen. I'm not playing to a metronome or anything, and he laid down the drum and bass tracks! (We are trying some stuff out to bring you something super cool we have in the works, but more details about that later.)

Not only did Dave play drums on Away In Your Dreams, but also played horns on "Like Bonnie and Clyde," filled in some killer lead guitar riffs, co-produced, and he is the engineer and owner of Kokopelli Music Studio. Oh! And a music teacher too!! I couldn't thank him enough for bringing my songs to life. Check him out, and get ready for Away In Your Dreams, available for download everywhere this Friday!

Tracking a 5 piece band together in the studio. Using all the gear! Mix is sounding great already (this is just what they’re hearing in the phones)

New Vin-jet ribbon mic. Sounds good on the kit (fatheads are still my fav), can’t wait to try on a guitar cab!

Expanding the kit... Recording the Tama kit in the Orange Room with a sneak peak at a quick mix; mostly SSL channels on drums, Vcomp on the bus and the beautiful new Chromeverb bus in the newest Logic.

My mixer sends (mostly for kick/snare and guitars) are now going into these old gems. Gated comp/limit into Symetrix eq, send 2 is the guitar preamp. Sort of like a transient designer- but with insane eq and distortion.

Trying to figure out my go-to overhead ldc for this room. MXLv69 and miktek are good,but I may go to ribbons- metal roof and windows make things pretty bright in here, but then again, the darker w87 didn't do it... hmmm
