Back with some actual music


Above is a video I made featuring my first recording project for Advanced Multitrack Production. Blogger won't let you upload mp3s, but they will let you upload videos featuring the greatest video transitions known to Windows Movie Maker. So take a look and listen.

The main jist of this project was to capture a live performance onto multitrack tape. So there are no overdubs or punch ins featured in the recording, its one continuous take. I used about 18 microphones for the recording and they went straight to 2" tape.

The other cool thing about this project is that it was mixed down onto 1/4" tape meaning that it only reached the digital domain when it was burned to CD. Up until that point it was completely analog, which is cool. That also means that the signal processing (equalization, compression, gating, and some reverb) were done with outboard gear, not on a computer.

I know I haven't been to consistent with this blog but stayed tuned because I'm comin back baby!

Today's T (Actually a polo): Maroon with white stripes

  4. Much appreciated Steven. The star wipe may be the most under utilized wipe in all of cinematic transitions.
