The mics we used to record the Axiom Jazz Trio.

Edens as a mid/side pair to capture the room and the overall sound of the band. These make everything sound expensive and beautiful. You could almost just use these and get a great sounding record.

M160s for the drum overheads; such a great balance of warmth and clarity, and they’re cardio’s pattern works great in this room.

M82 on the snare and M80 on the kick. These do a great job capturing natural sounding detail.

RE20 for the bass. Great sounding low end and midrange detail. Good rejection of the sound from the rest of the band.

SM7b for the saxophones and flute, great sounding midrange and a nicely softened high end that compliments these instruments well. Great isolation from band.

Starting from the ground up… literally. We built Studio Sassafras with our own hands; when the original contractor fell short, my father and I and a handful of others stepped in to finish the last 85% of the project. My parents ran a construction company in New Orleans and built our family’s home in Lafitte, LA. So while building Sassafras ourselves wasn’t the plan, it also wasn’t an unfamiliar experience. It became a deeply personal process with massive amounts of attention placed on the craft and details of the construction. Every corner of this studio carries the imprint of our attention, time, and craft. At Studio Sassafras, we aim to help build your music career with that same hands-on care.

Day one of eleven! It’s wonderful to get to spend this much time with one musician. We spent the last couple of months doing preproduction remotely, and now we get to hang in person and make these songs come to life!
