monitors and losing

mp3s like to take a shit all over my monitors

or rather

my monitors take a shit all over mp3s.

There is this insentient buzzing with the mid-high range.

First reaction, as always, ‘what the fuck? did I break these?’

Second thought, play the full bandwidth copy of Tomboy by Panda Bear

HOLYCRAP.

Hiss gone, that album sounds amazing, burn all mp3s.

Correction: “It sounds a bit boxy because I have my headphones on”

New Microphone! It deserves an uppercase letter.

48kHz 32 bit wav file

Recorded with my Mbox 2 Pro Preamps and Conversion

No Processing

The song is Give Me Another Chance by Big Star

Awwwww yeaah



I am not really into heavy music anymore but the interviewer sounds exactly like Jezz from Peep Show.

Same speech patterns, word choice, pauses…

It just feels like he is fucking with the dude.



Probably the greatest promotional video of our time.

Oh, Hello Digital Synthesis.

Oh, Hello Digital Synthesis.

Bouncing the 4 track to pro tools for The Best Parts of Lonely. If you’ve never used an analog machine check it out. Complimentary compression if you run the inputs hot. This thing makes me feel super lazy when I compare the work I do with digital. Especially when we were tracking the last song: I ran out of tape and decided to just record over the split vocals of a song earlier in the session. It’s true that a million choices makes the artist lazy.

The coolest song off of the Wicker Park Choral Singers ‘Eat, Drink and Be Merry’ Album I recorded.
They stood in a circle around the audience. There was a quartet floating in front, or at least that’s what it sounds like.


The song is called ‘Sound Canticle on Bay Psalm 23’ and was composed by Gregg Smith.
