Picked up this old beauty 8’ “pram” style sailboat from my friends and house I had stored there for a year or so. Time to get her out again! Looking for suggestions for a name..

For my music production / beat maker peeps, peep this song and in the chorus, or “the drop” as you young folk call it 😆 I love ❤️ how the white noise goes hard sidechained for a bar then trades off w the most savage tambo. Lol! So rad. Great idea.

That’s it.

A pretty great way to go out! This is the the last major project I did (co-produced/mixed) before my hiatus from music production began this month. Taking a break from a long stint in the studio/teaching world to pursue alternate career paths ;)

It was really awesome collabing with Harlow - Taylor Reid (who performed, wrote co-produced) on the project, as well as some music related friends like Nick Hobden (drums), Jimi James (keys), Spencer Atkinson (bass), Miles Morrison (guitar), and Rob Klein (bass, guitar, beats), and Brock McFarlane (mastering).

We're all really happy with how it all turned out, so give it a spin and let us know what you think!

I always found teaching automation so difficult to do, or to even explain what the approach is. I always think of it as painting the right picture for each section.
Here’s two hours of vocal automation on a piano vocal cover of Rihanna’s “Diamonds”

Yesterday I did an album review for a client of mine where he wrote the songs, performed them, recorded and mixed it himself, and he asked me to listen through and give him some opinions on ways it could be improved.

It spanned from mixing and mastering tips, arrangement ideas, and timing and tuning tips. Using my past experiences as a producer, engineer, mixer, editor, and instructor made this fairly easy for me.

He was very grateful to have a list of “actionable items” as he put it, to take his recording to another level, and to have another set of experienced ears on it.

It took me a few hours and he thought it was well worth the investment.

It made me think there’s definitely a niche out there for this type of music production consulting, seeing as though many people are recording their albums themselves these days.

So if you’re in that boat and you think you might be able to use my expertise in this way let me know by dropping me a message 🙂

Thanks all.

Jeep Patriot was running like crap, losing power under load. I think changing these may help. Old Vs. New. Glad I didn’t spend $100 at a mechanic to figure that out!
