Got to spend some time this afternoon with one of my favorite record makers of all time, Mr. Eric Valentine @nerdentine. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. After more than a decade chasing it, I finally know how you got those @takingbacksunday drums sounding just right👌🏼

In the works for a while but finally available! G

In the works for a while but finally available! G Matthews, now known as @this.is.ms.rosewater has released the first part of her project “Rosewater Tears”. G came to me in August 2018 to start this record and since then a lot has happened. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and has gone through hell and back. I can’t even begin to imagine.
Even though this is a relatively short and simple record (4 songs divided into 2 releases, this being part 1) it’s full of emotion and distress. Every song is different and the production is tailored to the lyrics and melody G brought in. We decided to ditch trying to go for a specific album aesthetic and just let every song be. Very satisfying rock music at the end of the day. My favorite is 10mg, G’s performance on that one came effortlessly and it’s where I see her aiming at moving forward. Anyway, be sure to check this out!

Haven’t posted in one whole year so I figured I’d celebrate by hitting you with the inevitable rig pic. This is the fourth incarnation of my music-making space, with another coming by the end of the year. It never ends! Anyway, back to work.

Studio breakdown time lapse. Two days in one minute! Watch the end for before and after audio clips. So grateful to my father-in-law who helped us with the mammoth task of moving, not only the studio, but everything we have! Today is the second day on the road down to TN, arriving tonight! #studio #recording #production #mixing #mastering #gear #timelapse #audio #moving #nyc #to #nashville #tn #musiccity #bound

The end of an era! Just took these last few pictures of the studio for the archives before taking it all apart (swipe for more). For the last 2 years I’ve spent 80% of my time in this room making amazing music with a bunch of great people. Now it’s time to switch it up! Can’t wait to put it all back together in the new space! #studio #producer #recording #production #mixing #mastering #protools

... He found me. And we connected like fucking magnets. I said "I'm really fucking loud..." and He said "Fuck yeah! Bring it". So I did. I took trips to NY with nothing but a bunch of lyrics and my loud mouth. And that was it.
He is responsible for the greatness coming out of your speakers. My producer and I have fuckin musical match made in music heaven. Thank @raphaelsepulveda for my album SUPERHERO. He's a fuckin WIZARD

Inserting this @tcelectronic pedal on vocals today. They have cool stomp boxes I've been wanting to try as mixing tools, so let's start here.

Jeez.. I haven't posted anything on here in a minute. Sigh, sometimes it's a bit of a burden to come up with something to post, specially when you're working on the same things. And I don't wanna bore people to death with pictures of the same studio from every angle imaginable... like I see some guys do here on the 'gram. Get's old, don't it? Well here's a current peek into my life—editing limbo.
