Yesterday I recorded (and played) hand percussion on another new tune by that im producing (and mixing), who’s currently across the pond. I tend to wait until mixing to add hand percussion for top end movement, instead of adding eq. Anywho…. here’s my signal chain.

Neumann.Berlin (1950’s) KM86 > Electrodyne 710 (from original Sigma Recording console, David Bowie’s Young American, Disco Inferno, etc) > 1176

Happy Hanukkah to all my dreidel wielding friends. 🕎

Evidently I like my bananas to show their aura. Good banana! 🍌

Setup is done and ready for the next couple of days on show.

Family. It’s what’s for dinner.

I’ve been recently reminded that I never post about or talk about my simple yet powerful multi-input mobile recording rig. Yup, you want me to come to you? Hit me up.

A lot of suits and a lot of wireless frequencies.👀

I’ll take the suits any day 🤞🏼

On the road with this weekend, heading to in Berlin, MD for an outdoor 75 minute set tonight. Then tomorrow we head to the in Jim Thorpe, PA. Currently 3 seats from a sold out show too. 💪🏼 Oh, and I bought a duvet cover. Yeah!, I said DUVET!

10/16/2023

Oh look! 👀 trimmed my hair. It was getting quite scraggly. And just in time for today’s pick-up show at . Hey!, since I’m here I might as well get an Oyster PoBoy at . It was either that or Crawfish Étouffée. 🥹 I should have just gotten both! 🦞🦪

10/14/2023

Pfwewww! In at 7a this morning, not done until 1a tonight. A nice long day with a great team to put on the Mid Atlantic Emmy’s in Lancaster, PA. 💪🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💪🏼

Safety first!

While setting up yesterday for today’s show at I was able to take a moment to peruse the display. Pretty cool stuff. Nice of to lend his full stack too 🤘🏼🤘🏼I remember when in our sound company using a pair of those behemoth main cabinets. Used to jump on top for guitar solos. Fun times.

10/05/2023

It’s show time at the Zoo. Pretty nice weather we have too. 👍🏼

10/04/2023

My world today and tomorrow. Such beautiful weather for a tent show. Must be because Ed Hurban’s not on the show 🤪

10/04/2023

A 7am call for a two day show at the Zoo. A Punch in The Face seems appropriate 🤪

Another interesting 12 hour day at .stadium. I can’t say my work is boring.

09/28/2023

09/26/2023

Happy to my number one, . I’m proud of you kiddo.

09/23/2023

I’ve had a seemingly ever changing schedule the past few weeks. Definitely frustrating. But one cool thing about this last change is that it’s allowed me to go see the Sigma Sound - The Sound Heard ‘Round The World screening at The Kimmel. I’m seeing some peeps I haven’t seen in some time. Yay! 👏🏼

A nice long day of tracking guitars yesterday. Plenty of tone machines to choose from too. Ain’t I a lucky fella? Was happy to spend time with my bud Avery Coffee for the first half of the day with EJ Simpson figuring out how many guitars we could use on a single section of a song. We needed to go to 24 frets at the end 👀. Then James from Nick Lombardo & The Decent Ok was in finalizing his tracks for their new single Mama Said. It’s definitely another banger of a song. Like I said, I’m a lucky fella!

I really don’t take it lightly when I re-home someone’s amp or audio piece. But rest assured they are truly used with loved. Today used a recently acquired 1973 Twin Reverb. Usually I have test out the gear before I use it, but hey, why not?!? I also just got a Pitbull in. I’ve always wanted one of these and I’m looking forward to@putting it in with the rest of the amps. 💪🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I’m building a Parametric EQ for my guitar rig today. And I have to say, it’s kinda nice hangin’ with in the shop too.

Who left flowers out front of my house?

I now have in my possession the pair of channel strips from the original Sigma Electrodyne console that Joe Tarsia designed in 1968, which Mike Tarsia had rack mounted a few years before his passing. I actually now have most of Mike’s recording gear, and I’m happy that I’ve been able to keep the collection together. I know he’d appreciate it. ❤️

I had a couple of days with Nick Lombardo & The Decent Ok recording guitar and bass overdubs this week. Yet another chance to try out the DPA Microphones too. I used their 2012 cardioid along side a Cascade FatHead ribbon for electric guitar, and a 2015 for acoustic overdubs. I also used the new Magnificent Amplification BeeBee 45 for Nicks rhythm track. Needless to say, this new track is turning into another humdinger of a single. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

06/06/2023

This past weekend I was able to test every one of the microphones provided to me by DPA Microphones while on tour as FOH with Classic Stones Live. Overall the clarity was quite apparent, the drums were detailed without being harsh, and “Keith” loved how much more clear his voice was in his monitor using the d:facto 4018VL. (Now I need to get a capsule each for “Mick” and “Merry” to try out). One unexpected “super like” were the magnetic mounts. I’ve used them before in the studio while micing the grand piano, but they were especially handy when mounting a 4099 gooseneck on their Nord to be used for percussion, and for the under snare mic. I almost questioned myself using it for the under snare mic, since I had attached to the snare stand, but there were zero vibrational artifacts. Cool! Check out the mic list and what they were used on below.

Kick drum - 4055
Snare Top - 2011
Snare Bottom - 4099 gooseneck w/magmatic mount
High Hat - 2021
Toms - 4099 gooseneck w/drum mount
Overhead’s - 4011
Guitars - 2015
Vocal - d:facto 4018VL
Percussion - 4099 gooseneck w/magnetic mount

Thanks again .spahr, , and all at . I’m looking forward to getting them back into the studio and onto some records the next couple of weeks. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Happy Pride Month to all or our colorful friends and family. 🌈

05/31/2023

As I mentioned before, I have a selection of DPA Microphones that I’ve been asked to test out on various sources. Yesterday I recorded Organ for Sadie Leigh Gust using 2012 and 2015 pencil microphones. Super accurate for sure. Love the small form factor too. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

05/27/2023

I had a great meeting with my buds Chris and Gabe from DPA Microphones yesterday. When Chris mentioned Deke's BBQ for lunch, well… 🤤

I’m going to be testing out a new mic system over the next couple of weeks. Keep your 👀 open for a post about it. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

05/26/2023

I’m really loving the way my console and control room is coming together. Kevin Wayne Jordan Design rebuilt the console armrest using leather to match the couch and Bolle Design built tops for the side rolling racks to match the end tables by the couch. Looks amazing and is ergonomically functional. Wowzers!! There are also a few more surprises ahead that I can wait to share.

05/24/2023

Ahhhh! After a couple of days prepping, new carpet was installed today. I think I’ll take advantage of the wide open space and paint some walls.

05/18/2023

While here on show at Montgomery County Community College I was able to catch up with my friend and FINALLY tour the new recording and production facilities. What a great opportunity the students have here. Awesome job putting it all together Dave. 💪🏼
