Done and DONE
After many hours working on my studio tan, I’m happy to report both Brad Sucks and The Peptides albums are mixed and mastered and completely finished. I’m super excited for both releases as I think they sound awesome, and a big tip o’ the hat to both artists for working up top shelf albums.
Now all [...]
Roland JX3P
Was looking around my studio the other day, and I found my old Roland JX3P sitting in the corner. Don’t know why I keep it, but I think it has something to do with the wood sides. Or maybe the fact that my good friend and sometime musical cohort, Fingertown, the previous owner of this [...]
end game
It’s a pleasing thought..the wrapping up of two very very excellent album mixing projects for The Peptides and Brad Sucks. Both albums have been completely mixed, and we are in the process of mastering each.
I guess I’m pleased and a bit bummed too…sad they are coming to an end in some way. They’ve combined [...]
New Brad sucks song out!!!
Brad Sucks has released the first song, Fake It, off his upcoming album, so that fans can get involved with creating the video for it. You get hear it and find the instructions for the video submissions HERE. I’m pretty excited to be getting close to the release of this album after spending quite a [...]
Dear technology of mine
Please stop sucking. Last week saw my small midi controller keyboard die, nicely out of warranty. Yesterday saw my laptop LCD go belly up. (my fault, but still…) And today, on my last day of vacation, my lovely and relatively new 500GB external USB drive has given up the ghost. ALL OF MY PICTURES FROM [...]
comparison of $100-$150 earbuds
Given that you can’t try earbuds and headphones in the stores, I’d guess many of us choose a pair, buy them, use them, and just assume that’s how things sound. But as my testing of 4 expensive models of earbuds show, things aren’t as they sound…. If audio quality is what you’re after, read on [...]
ipod headgear
Ok…I’m getting a little worried. As previously noted, I’m not a fan of the earbuds supplied with my Nano. No problem…I’ve always found included-in-the-box headgear to be lacking with audio devices. Besides, it’s an excuse to visit local electronics stores…always a good thing.
The last three weeks have seen me rockin’ a set of these Sennheiser [...]
lost in translation-animals
Here’s a table that compiles the sounds animals make and the way in which languages from around the world deal with them. As you might expect, many are variations on the same thing, but there are some interesting and funny ones.
Notably, the Woodcock is only represented with an English "peent". Also, Camel [...]
We’re outstanding
Last week saw rap super-heavyweights Smalltown Mike and me laying serious flo over serious phat beetz for songfight. Check it: I’m Outstanding. I used to spend an awful lot of time at songfight, and I miss it big time…life is just too full these days to get it on more often. But not so busy [...]
funny stuff
This is funny. So funny, I’ve forgotten what the video was for….but I laughed pretty hard just watching the first 10 seconds of buffering….
