I had a lot of fun collaborating with Elizabeth and her band mates on this track, and got to record a few instruments that fall outside of my typical rock band domain.

My roles:
- Tracking engineer
- Mixing engineer
- Editor
- Drum performance

Elizabeth McCorvey is a talented artist and multi-instrumentalist with a message, and Ain’t Gonna Lay Down is about fighting the good fight.

As she arrived at the session she informed me that her drummer was sick and couldn’t make it, so the obviously I had to fill in on drums!

Different pace from sonic games for sure!

Very cool game, but not exactly easy haha.

Never a good time for it but it’s always at the worst times

If you keep an eye out on marketplace/craigslist/etc you’ll find some gems for not much money. I got both of those mics for around $100 each. I was doing shootouts and tests to figure out which mic to sell and decided to keep them all lol

I can see how a single guitar that needs to sound big would benefit from this approach

Or just compress the mids and sides separately lol

Experimenting with Mid/Side for the first time in a long while. This positioning does a nice job of capturing both the indirect sound of the room and the direct sound of the drums.

That's such a great observation Bobby! It's not a microphone, it's a microphone sold by a robot

Been meaning to check this one out!

I’m not normally a superstitious person but I really don’t think we should be joking about this 🙈

Homie could have easily googled this but I guess this is the type of customer service I provide on reverb dot com

Ouch!

Is it a ring modulation pedal?

A client has me burning CDs for the first time in a couple decades. Had to google it lol

I mean I have 350

I’m going to try my best not to overdo it 😂

Shoutout to Drowning Leo for hooking up the studio with a coffee station ☕️

Well at least I know you could beat me up 🙈

Oof. Sorry man.

Ah man. We gotta get you into martial arts. Let people know that you could beat them up if you had to
