Fleet Foxes covered a bunch of tunes for SoundCloud and I’ve been jamming them for the last two hours. Super cool! Favorite so far: Let’s Stay Together (Al Green)

our video guys (vidiots, I often call them) just posted the long-form video we did for the local sheriff’s office. shooting this thing was awesome, although I’d prefer to never be that close to that many angry dogs, bombs, and guns again.

Lesley Sawyer record completed
I am so proud to have had the opportunity to track this record. To date, I can say this is the best-sounding record I’ve had the pleasure to engineer. It was mixed fantastically by Scott Faris and I hope to work with producer Brian McRae again.

good & good for you: HIS + HERS; The Hawk In Paris →
goodandgoodforyou:
“The Hawk In Paris wants to know if you will go to the dance with them. Check ‘yes’ or ‘no.’”
So says the bio on their Facebook page, and I can think of no better way to introduce this album. The Hawk In Paris have brought us a disarmingly accessible record that will draw you…
yes!

in my town
sometimes people call your studio and ask things like, “can you take music off a cd and put it on another cd?”
and you have to say “yes ma’am, we are a professional recording studio and we have the technology to accomplish what you’re asking, but for an hourly rate.”

satisfaction
i recently finished working on a record that wasn’t very much fun to work on. sometimes you have to work with music that you wouldn’t listen to otherwise; i’m fine with that. this project was beyond that. suffice it to say, my job was to salvage, polish, and mask. and then somehow end up with a professional, competitive product.
long story short, i worked my rear end off...

this happens all the time
so i was on a plane today.
when we took off, the sun was on our left. 30 minutes later, the sun was on our right. several passengers noticed that we were going the wrong way and pointed it out to the attendants who had no answers. a few minutes later, the pilot informed us that one of our two engines had failed. my jaw dropped. then he said, “don’t worry, this happens all the...
the inverse square law
states that as distance from a sound source is doubled, sound pressure level is halved, or reduced by 6dB. this requires that as distance from a sound source is halved, sound pressure level is doubled. two examples:
1.
2.
in example 2, let A = r∞.
i spent today in the studio with josh wilson in nashville. it’s loud here.

i couldn't make this up
the studio where i work gets a lot of phone calls from rappers who want to come and record (99% of whom never do). today our receptionist put through a call from another “potential client” and i picked it up while sighing and rolling my eyes.
then i heard the voice of a 9-YEAR-OLD BOY who told me that he’s been working really hard writing raps and he wanted to know if i could...

hey man,
it’s a summer weekend so you’re probably out in the hot warehouse in front of your windows nt computer trying to figure out how to make your crappy recordings sound better. listen up.
spend less money on girls and more on equipment.
i know you think it’s dorky, but practice piano more. trust me.
go easy on the auto-tune.
don’t forget to get excited about the...

*disclaimer: i programmed and mixed this using in-ears. i have no idea what it sounds like in real life.
parting with katalyst
ever since i can remember, all i’ve wanted to be was a musician. i wanted to take lessons to learn as much about music as possible. i played in garage bands and marching bands and even orchestras, hoping that someday i’d get the chance to play music for a living, and this past year i’ve had that opportunity. it’s been everything i ever hoped it would. i made a lot of...

church life vs. creativity
from don miller’s blog:
When Solomon wrote Song of Songs, a dramatic opera about a young, poor woman who fell in love with a Shepherd king, do you think he had “the voice of the church” in his head? Do you think he was worried about what a group of people might think? Of course the evangelical church didn’t exist, then, and neither did the collective evangelical consciousness, but what I...
