Setting up the new production room in Portugal!

So…for those who haven’t yet heard, we are closing Purple Door Sound in Portland. We are still doing/finishing up some mixing and editing, but have stopped tracking bands…all in anticipation of moving ourselves and the studio to Portugal later this year, where we will have a really cool production and tracking space in our new home.

We are selling some extra gear and most of our live kit…message me if interested in seeing a list.

Had a really good time tracking vocals with and Linn Street Din this weekend. Vocals through AEA R84 through an Acme Audio MTP66 to a Heritage Audio Motorcity EQ, to a Heritage Audio Tubesessor…vintage sound. Linn Street Din

We’re booking sessions for November and beyond. Purple Door is a well equipped studio in St Johns/North Portland. Relaxed atmosphere, Berklee trained engineer, great mic selection.

Overhauled the mixing room…same everything, just a smaller footprint, more room and much cozier.

Just welcomed a sweet sounding Rhodes to the studio. Direct into the 1965 Ampeg B12, or DI through our Motown or Abbey Road tube preamps, this thing is sweet!

Running the new Heritage Audio Lang PEQ-2 through the paces. Tried it on kick, snare, OH, bass, multiple vocals, vocals, electric guitar, and clarinet. I want another one lol.

Setting up for the first of two bands in the studio this week. Mic’d drums, and set up an isolated scratch vocal/guitar station. Running bass through a Motown-style tube DI, and adding a channel from an Ampeg DI for some grit. We’ll get it dialed in tomorrow. I love what I do😎

Drum upgrade at Purple Door Sound! We added a Gretsch Renown kit to the studio. Can’t wait to throw our mics on this kit!

Had a blast tracking reggae last night! Need a traditional reggae snare/timbale sound? Tweak your 1962 Ludwig Supraphonic and pass it through and SPL transient designer, through a Heritage Audio Motorcity EQ to my Trident 68. Sounds great!
