Updates! Updates!

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted any updates on the studio’s page and this is long overdue, but there has been a LOT of activity here at Grey Cat recently. I’m putting together the updated gear list and will post to the page, but in addition to some of the best work that has ever been done at the studio in the last couple of years we’re very excited about the most recent upgrades we’ve made that I’d like to share now.

We have upgraded our DAW workflow with ProTools Premier along with adding the new Motu 24Ao converter device for managing all the throughput. These new components set us up for a myriad of killer options for both tracking and mixing. In addition to providing seamless track transfer between our Alesis HD24 recorder to ProTools, it provides simultaneous recording between the Studio’s Sony APR24 24 track, 2 inch analog tape machine and ProTools. In addition to this, we can now route any of these recording devices back through the studio’s Rupert Neve designed Amek Media 51 console for mix either as stereo in the box monitoring, as DAW buss’s, or discreet 1 to 1 tracks to channels for a true console mix experience.

In addition to hardware and software upgrades, we’re happy to welcome to the Grey Cat Team two extremely talented and capable engineer/producers Daniel Lane and Liam Ravita who bring with them amazing production and musical skills to provide top shelf expertise to your projects.

Grey Cat is committed to continuing to provide a quality recording experience for first timers and seasoned professionals alike in an environment that is comfortable for both. We’ve enjoyed working with the extremely talented and creative artists that have dirtied up our doorstep over the past few years and are excited to have the opportunity to work with you.

Let’s make records!

Since I’ve completed so many studio update projects over the course of the last couple of months I decided to refresh my walk through video. Come and make records!

Finished the big projects that I previously discussed today and everything is put back together, looking and sounding fantastic! MAJOR shout out to Daniel Lane for all the help today. No way it gets done without him.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted to my page here after firing up my Instagram account, but a lot is going at Grey Cat. I made a pledge to bring my studio to the next level with a few capital investments and some environmental improvements. The Media 51 is functioning better than it ever has in the 2 1/2 years it’s been in service at Grey Cat thanks to Dave Rochester at Technical Audio Services. Have added a couple of decent pre-amps, but the big change is with the monitor system. Have added a pair of KRK’s for reference, and just today swapped the Event 20/20’s for a pair of bi-amped powered Yamaha HS8’s. The change is more dramatic than I anticipated! Keeping my 20 year old NS-10M’s to keep us honest. I added a pair of Tannoy’s to the vocal room for playback and spent a good bit of time reconfiguring the space to claw back some valuable landscape. Much less claustrophobic in there now. Added some acoustical gobo’s to the drum room and have some tiles on the way to me to complete the additional treatment in there.

Projects to come include re-routing the effect sends so that the more commonly used devices can be automated with my SuperTrue package. Got a little bit of tidying up to do with some cabling in the control room and plan on adding a large acoustical gobo over the console.

We’re half way through the mixing for the Famous Class Records release of the Upchuck LP due to be delivered for mastering by Heba Kadry in the next couple of weeks.

What I’m most looking forward to is getting back to tracking some new projects which are coming together as we speak. It’s been quite cathartic to have this busy work to do during the “Gloom Period” of winter. I am grateful to have this creative space to work in and talented folks who darken its doorstep.

If you’ve got a project you want to work on just shoot my an email/text and we’ll get you scheduled. I’ll also pledge to do a better job of updating this page in 2022.

Peace,

Pat
