New interview I did for Shoutout Arizona is live now!

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ryan Bram and we've shared our conversation below. Hi Ryan, we'd love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking I think being willing to take risks is essential for audio engineering and production. There are so many endless approaches to th

2022 YEAR IN GEAR as inspired by

Well, building a new studio certainly wins most expensive purchase of the year. I couldn’t be more excited to be working out of the new space. The sound, comfort, and sound isolation in the new studio makes me more excited than ever to come to work.

The majority of my gear purchases this year were to help outfit the new studio, and help organize stuff a bit better.

The majority of the acoustic treatment was from the great people at . I think the best addition was their alpha series panels, which I have all over the live room. They have a clever, simple slat style diffuser panel in front of a typical 4” absorption panel. I found them to be fantastic at retaining a live, energetic sound while controlling problematic mid-low frequencies.

QRD diffusers on the back wall of the control room from . I’m fortunate enough the new control room is long enough to benefit from true QRD diffusion, and the effect is pretty noticeable. I did have to sand and treat these ones before going up. I might have gone with Q7D’s instead, had they been in production at the time.

New live room rug, large enough to accommodate a giant drum kit was a new addition. has been my go-to help in finding so much stuff at Lowe’s for the new studio, this rug being one of many of those things. I can’t thank him enough!

Naturally with hundreds of trips to the hardware store comes doing some extra DIY projects. I framed out and hung all of the ceiling panels for the studio, as well as made my first proper cable rack, and a mic stand organizer. The mic stand organizer was something I found on the gearpage years ago, and finally got around to making. Just some large PVC pipes cut to size and attached to plywood board. Works great

New mic wall plates and a ton of custom cabling from . Full 32 mic inputs available now.

Door soundproofing from . Sound proof frame gaskets, thresholds and an automatic door bottom combined with the custom made “super doors” has finally gotten me the isolation I’be wanted without having to spend thousands on a premade soundproof door. Highly recommend

Extremely heavy velour curtain from . There’s a sliding glass door to the back patio of the control room, and it happened to be right at one of the reflection points from my listening position. Hanging or standing sound panels there was going to be a pain, so I opted for this custom curtain. The density or the velour actually has the same sound absorption stats as an acoustic panel, so it worked out perfect!

Spire 420Xi monitor stands with built in IsoAcoustics isolators

Powerplay P-16M personal mixer system. While I’ve had a single personal headphone for a while, I now have 4 to be able to host a full band live with everyone getting their own personalized headphone mix. These things are badass

Pre-73 Premier’s. I had some issues with my modded Pre-73 MK2’s, so I took it as an opportunity to try the new Premier models. They sound excellent, and get just as much use as the Heritage’s just below them.

Not a huge pedal year for me, but I get some fun ones:
super fuzz for a cool $16 on the Sweetwater sale
The gold and silver horsy klon clones from
Metal Master, both the Japanese and Sri Lanka versions
Guv’nor
Meatbox

There’s probably more stuff I can’t remember right now, but this post is huge enough. Come record here in the new year and see everything yourself 🤘

Happy release day to ! I had a great time mixing this ep and I’m excited for it to be put out today by MAGGOT STOMP]. Arkansas has been pumping out some great new heavy music lately, and I’ve been fortunate to have worked with a number of these bands now. Morbid Visionz is a prime example of this current wave of death metal and a worthy listen. Check it out!

Had a great weekend recording the return of Tucson hardcore veterans Bloody Roar. Got some great guitar tones trying out the Guv’nor on the T100 and the SNK Pedals VHD on the JMP. Very strong All Out War/Into the Killing Fields vibe.

The new live room is continuing to absolutely kill it for drum tones. I have dates available this winter- hit me up to hear it for yourself 🫡

Been so wrapped up with the new studio I missed posting about this mind bending album that came out last month!

Supervolcano2042 is a self-titled debut full length, featuring Bryan of RED FANG and Chris Kaufmann. This record was a wild journey to produce. Fans of psychedelic, sci-fi themed doom, check it out!

Due to the layout of the new building, there’s too much space between the live room and control room for a window. Not the worst situation as we end up with even better isolation between the rooms, but I still wanted to have line of sight for better communication. We ended up putting in a pair of 4K tv’s and HDMI cameras to see into either room, and I can also send the pro tools screen into the live room so people can follow along to the session. And of course if a band or singer wants more privacy, I can just turn the cameras off 😬

06/04/2022

Current state of the new control room! It already feels and sounds so much better to mix in this room, and I’m not even done dialing things in. The rack gear has been reorganized for my current workflow and an extremely heavy custom velour curtain from is in to provide absorption on the sliding door side of the room. Have a few more bass traps I wanted to build and a cloud or two for the back half of the room. Will be fitting that in between finishing up the live room and catching up on mixing. Can’t wait to get people in here!

Happy release day for the and ! I mixed the Terminal Nation side, mixed Kruelty’s, and mastered the whole thing. Always a great time to be able to work with friends on a release. Check it out now!

Ceiling cloud is up and I think I’m finally ready to move in the desk and start hooking gear up in here.
I promise it’s level, the pitched ceiling just looks odd from this angle 😅

New control room views so far. Almost ready to start bringing the desk in. Gotta start building the new cloud next. show keeping me company while I work in here today. Also get some amazing new speaker stands from with built in absorbers. Sound treatment by the great people at

Honored to have Dr. Disrespect in the studio this weekend for the .lv EP

The DOD Meatbox is a legendary subharmonic synthesizer octave pedal known to be strong enough to actually destroy speakers. Reissued only once in 2015, supposedly when DOD found a stockpile of old stock chips, these have become incredibly hard to acquire. Harman Audio recently seemed to have a clearance sale of their remaining stock of these, and I managed to grab one at an INSANE $75.

It looks like a number of people jumped on the sale as well and are reselling them on Reverb for just a little bit more. Great time to grab one if you missed out! Now I need a band to come in and do an Earth 2 worship album. 🧙🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the heads up on this !!

One of the records I’ve been mixing lately is the new Dogz of War LP! Super heavy Detroit hardcore OG’s. Can’t wait for people to hear this one.

Just a few flavors of chainsaw. Need to hunt down the Arion Metal Master and DOD American Metal next.

I know there’s a handful out there already, but if I made a shootout/comparison vid of these would anyone be interested?
