New tom heads on the kit for tomorrow's drum tracking session with 68 AD.

02/03/2024

Been quite a while since there's been a post here. My apologies for that. Things are only just now coming back online for LCBW, as we all know what happened due to COVID. But there is forward movement.

The landlord has slowly been updating things in the building, and this past week was finally LCBW's turn. The live room was given a bit of a makeover, with a new outer wall put in place with far better insulation, a new floor and eventually a new window [they're on backorder]. The control room will get a similar treatment soon, perhaps as early as next week.

Work began 2 weeks ago on the upcoming album from DUAL DIAGNOSIS, and that's progressing well. Next Sunday [11 Feb] will see the return of 68 AD for their 6th album. Drum tracking is set to begin that day, with a 2nd session a few weeks later.

The new album from BLOOD FEAST Legions Worldwide was completed at the end of 2023. Some additional mixing was done with the help of Mike Sabatini at Bandmother Recording in Jersey City, and it was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. Hoping for a May release via Hells Headbangers Records.

Cheers,
CJ

What is this that stands before me...

Welcome to the brand-new cassette transfer centre for LCBW Recording. And by "brand-new" I really mean old-school – an iMac G4 from 2001; a TASCAM 112 Mk. II cassette deck from the '90s [and re-furbed last Summer]; a pair of Radio Shack Realistic shelf speakers from the mid '90s; and a Technics stereo receiver that I purchased from Sears back in 1982. And I'll be running Sound Studio v3.5.7 software from 2008.

I just finished setting this up at home. Perfect to use during these seemingly endless hours during the stay-at-home edict. Gonna start transferring some bootlegs first – most notably Exodus from L'Amour on 25 August 1985 [the infamous show when Paul Baloff was too sick/drunk to perform], and a Krokus show from Long Island in 1982.

While there haven't been any sessions going on at the studio due the the stay-at-home edict, at least I've been able to do some maintenance. Spent yesterday and today doing some overdue re-wiring of the control room rack. Everything is nice and tidy now, and the patch bays [only one pictured now] will keep me from having to change things in the back. Also did some re-arranging in the CR – a little more space, and a lot less clutter.

Tomorrow I'll run the new snake from the live room into the CR.

Just finished mastering the new album from SACRIFICIAL BLOOD, awaiting approval.🙂

03/12/2020

Off to the studio in 10-15 minutes. Busy day ahead. On the agenda are the following:

• finish mastering the new album from SACRIFICIAL BLOOD.

• a short bass tracking session with MIKE LePOND.

• rehearsal with BLOOD FEAST.

And tomorrow I will finish mixing the DEATH METALLIC demo.

Out now on AFM Records. Mostly engineered by me here at LCBW.

03/08/2020

Busy weekend. 68 AD was in yesterday for lead guitar and vocal tracking. Finishing their rough mixes right now ("Such A Fool" is up next). Had DUAL DIAGNOSIS in to touch up some mixes this morning. Mastering those tomorrow.

Also finished the mixes for the new SACRIFICIAL BLOOD album this past Thursday. Mastering to follow tomorrow as well.

Blood Feast rehearsal in 90 minutes. But first we'll be removing the couch from the live room. It's time to let it go. No matter where it's placed it's in the way. Just too much stuff here and need the space.
