Cover Art for The Spectacle

My friends VIOLETHOUR (yes, it’s all caps on purpose) released their E.P. entitled “The Spectacle” this summer.  Why am I writing about this, you might ask?

Well yours truly had priveledge of mastering the record (it was self-recorded, produced ad mixed).  It was truly awesome to get on board a project that was a lot of fun, full of challenges, and great sounding.

It’s definitely worth a listen, and of course worth buying (although I am a bit biased).

Well, I didn’t want to brag about it until I was sure this was going somewhere, but my online magazine, www.AskASoundGuy.com, has reached it’s 100th article posted.  

I started the site with colleague, friend, and nerd, Ben Versluis with the idea of creating an online magazine full of useful tips and tutorials about music and audio production.  We wanted some hands-on, real-world information for solving problems and honing techniques that were relevant to people with small budgets but a lot of creativity.  

We slowly expanded the scope of the magazine to encompass reviews, interviews and other things we thought were interesting and relevant.  

I’m proud to say now, that AskASoundGuy.com is here to stay, and we’re actively looking for more writiers and contributors.

New Guitar Picks… they glow in the dark. Awesome.

Thanks Megan.

After returning from visiting family I received my new Boston Acoustics HS-460’s and my Marantz SR-4023 Stereo Receiver. After much finagling and time spent on the floor reaching behind the television console I am proud to say I finally have a stereo nice enough to call a hi-fi. Well, it may not meet everybody’s standards but I had to shell out more money than I’ve ever spent on one purchase for this system.

That’s me looking amazed at how big the speakers actually are. I can’t wait to sit some clients down in front of these to give their mixes a first listen.

Also on New Years Eve, I had the pleasure of recording more basic tracks for a couple of songs being worked on by Mark Choa and Justin Louie. I hope to have some clips in working order to post soon, although I wasn’t able to snag some pictures of them in action
