Finished this guy up tonight (TB550A). Not the easiest of builds, as mentioned patience is key. I made a couple careless mistakes along the way, but all are resolved. TIP – Triple check alignment/orientations at all stages. For the time being I’ve loaded it up with a pair of 990’s & a CMOQ-2S. I might swap out the 990’s at some point, but I have to say it’s performing very well as is. Great EQ kit.

I recently scored this wonderful, but horribly pink toy piano. I found this to be a perfect opportunity to experiment with a few mic techniques. That, and I can never turn down the opportunity for over-the-top ridiculousness.

The result of testing out the D5100 video capabilities. Everything is shot thru a 18-200 with marco ring, no post processing (other then time manipulation).

Audio = Discarded crap drum tracks+Grendel+a lot of coffee. I was feeling a bit guilty that the Grendel Drone Commander was collecting dust, this was a perfect excuse to fire it up. Amazing what a little #ValhallaÜberMod adds to a bunch of BS.

Well this creature decided to disrupt my recording this wet morning. It just wouldn’t shut-up, & So it became the subject. I had a DIY contact mic & my RED ready to go, I taped the contact mic to the window & it picked up surprisingly well.

  • Left CH = Contact / Right CH = RED Type B R8 via ADL-600
  • 24/96

Thanks to a night of insomnia I decided to tryout Valhalla UberMod & the octatracks realtime mangling/processing capabilities for the 1st time. Realitime recording single take mix pass.

Found a old 1957 vinyl test record the other day with a few gems. I sampled the intriguing 1890 MusicBox, A humorous sound FX quiz that is oddly reminiscent of a Josh silver/Peter Steele production, & a 440 tone. I’ve always enjoyed the test tone narrations of MRL & records like these.

Late night tracking session for upcoming compilation, Set up three different stereo room fill mics. What pair sounds best? Keep in mind they will ultimately be mixed with the spot mics & overheads.

What drum room mic configuration do you prefer?
