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.
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.
Loading ...Need to listen/capture from vinyl? Are you questioning the quality of that dusty 1970’s phono receiver you found in the basement?
From the numerous inspirational “Music From A” videos, I was inspired to make a light-heartedly sarcastic “tribute” to the creative method. Recording each element individually & spontaneously, The outcome is this ridiculousness below “Music From A – Musical instrument”.
Complete admiration to Diego Stocco for the inspiration & his contribution to our world of audio.
For those of you wondering how the Softube saturation differs from the stock Sonar X1 tube model, this will go over the differences.
This shows the harmonic plot of the Softube saturation driven to 3% THD+N. The harmonics after the 1st 1k tone are the added harmonics by Softube Sat.
You know it might be time to get out of LA when you get inspired by the 1st seasons rain. Something soporific about the mix of, water, sirens, crows, annoying neighbors, & the city waking up. I had to pull out the mics, pick two random windows, & capture the moment for future creative use. Pulled out the camera, snapped some images as well.
