Looking At The Finish Line…

The Kyle Galanaugh project is almost complete! Justin, Kyle and I spent the past few weeks tweaking the overall mixes, and I must say we are very pleased with the end result.  

We are currently in the process of lining up a mastering engineer.  There are a few people who could potentially be in the pipeline - hopefully we’ll be able to get who we want to make this project really rock! Needless to say, we’ll be making quite a few phone calls in the near future.

The buzz on this EP is really exciting! We’re getting amazing feedback from people both inside and out of the business, and have the support of local radio and indie retailers.  Once the project is finished in its entirety, Kyle will be playing a ton of shows around town - so check it out!

Well, that’s it for now…we’ll keep you posted!

Somebody Call Clive!

Friday we had Kyle Galanaugh up to cut BGV’s for his single “Wait.” The track is killing and we’re almost ready to mix. There’s a huge buzz around town about this EP and we’re so excited to finish it up.

The weekend was spent mostly working on maintenence, miscellaneous projects around the studio and filming for our new reality TV show entitled “Somebody Call Clive!”. Samples and out-takes will be up and available soon. Or, as soon as Dave gets them edited.

In other good news, the new firmware/software update for the Euphonix MC Mix controller was just released and it rocks so far. Seems like most of the major problems were fixed with Pro Tools. We’re also demoing an Orange Tiny Terror amp in the quest to expand guitar world.

Oh, and lastly, we just found out that our friend Yaffa is scheduled to be back in town from Italy this coming week. We will be embarking on uncharted territory, producing an opera/pop track for her record! Stay tuned…

Fool In the Rain

Busy busy. The site is starting to take shape, and Nick is our hero for getting it up in between his 10 million other clients. Hopefully we’ll get some audio and video up soon, as well as pictures.

In the meantime, Dave and I spent most of the day working on a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Fool In The Rain for a film/tv pitch. I played a couple hundred tracks of shakers, agogo bells, cowbells and timbales, and then we worked on the mix. 

We’re both taking a much needed weekend off to do other things, but will be back at it on Monday as other deadlines are fast approaching. 

Oh, and I got Dave a belated birthday gift! His first pot was tasty, though it will get a lot better. He’s just starting to realize how tweaky you can get with coffee. I’ll ruin him soon enough.
