I don't know what I enjoy more: setting up a session or tearing it down. They are such opposite feelings. Setting up you are executing on a plan and have some adrenaline whereas the teardown is calm and peaceful.

Still need to tidy up the corners, but it's basically done. Nice to be able to use materials left over from the studio construction (completed November 2008).

Got the fabric in place. It's kind of heavy so a bit challenging. Just need to tidy up the corners and add some trim to cover the staples.

1,600 1/4" holes drilled (was supposed to have used peg board)
3 layers of dense insulation cut and placed.
Just need to figure out the best way to wrap it in fabric.

Guess who recently watched 2001, A Space Oddicy? (Okay, I'm finally building a gobo/bass trap)

My favorite part about a project kick-off session is hearing the stories behind the songs and the anticipation of hearing the ideas come to life. Looking forward to working Sally Mitchell!

Had a great editing/mixing session with a client who lives a couple hours away. We used Waves Stream and it was flawless. Phones for talking, headphones for audio.

It's been a crazy couple of months. So many cool projects coming through! I thought I'd enjoy finally getting a day off yesterday but felt kind of lost not to be in the studio doing something! So, I'm back behind the desk digging into some post-production. ahhh.. :-)

It was a big deal when Chuck Mangione came out with "Feels So Good". So I really enjoyed today's session with Dan Hensley to record his flugelhorn solo for "Apollo's Reel" for the Jazz Underground album.

Once a year I need to use the scissor lift to change the battery in the live room. It's about 23 feet up and too far from the wall to use an extension ladder.

I'm really enjoying the variety of acts coming through the studio.
Today was a flute duet.
Glad that I have Reaper (what my client uses) so I can just copy the project folder to DropBox.

Before the inner walls and insulation were built, the studio was a 48' x 60' x 24' shell. The reverb was amazing. Fortunately, I recorded a couple things before it all changed.

Finally got my modest gear connected. This is just a test...

Seattle Solid Gold. The most headphones I've ever used in a session. Great band. They do a lot of gigs around town.

Fun day recording the original blues band Never Monday. They really kept me on my toes, so just this quick video of an early run-through.

About to kick off Music Matters

Just a little sample of today's session. ( I was only monitoring the stereo pair and the metronome)

Checked out all of the inputs and headphones. Now it's time to organize the cables.

Such a rewarding experience to work with Jessa Young. Here's a little clip I shot while she was warming up.

Cool wedding song by Reiny Baer. With Doug McIntosh, Dan Benson, and Steve Lemming.

The Microsoft Jump and Jive Orchestra came back to record more old time big band music. What a night!

Todd Purnick on the "warm up" take of his new song. I'm always nervous to do this once we get down to business for fear of being a distraction.
