But stuff has actually been happening, that's why I haven't had time to write. I don't have any particular subject to flood the interweb with this time, but I did want to note what's been going on in my world as far as music and audio goes.
The most recent monumental audio incident to occur is that Pete and I have packed up gear from the Annandale studio and moved to a new joint in Tamarama. It's a bit further in the car but the studio has much better isolation, a better load in and is generally more comfortable. The new studio features the following.
- Digidesign Pro Tools Rig 16 in, 16 out.
- Allen and Head 24 Channel all analogue mixing console
- Tascam MS-16 Analogue tape machine
- GSSL Stereo Mix Buss Compressor
- Earthling Designs Green Pre
- Joe Meek TwinQ
- Nuemann W193 Mono Parametric EQ
- Focusrite Dual Channel Strip
- Evans Analogue Delay
- Alto CL2 Compressor Limiter
- Waves Mercury Bundle Plugs (who cares?)
The Wait Ups (my band) have been gigging up a storm and our self engineered and produced 3rd EP is coming along nicely. We're just about to do final revisions on the mixes and then it's off to Turtlerock Mastering (Camperdown). The final product is going to be released in Digipack format with a felt CD holder, so no scratches!
Upcoming Wait Ups Shows
11th Aug: Hopetoun Hotel
20th Aug: Annandale Hotel
28th Oct: Oxford Art Factory
Audio Work:
Currently mastering a double CD compilation for electronic label ZeroHour. Pete and I have quickly realized that it takes a long time to even listen to two full CDs of music, let alone do anything to it. It's sounding bitching though.
Going into the studio in the next few weeks with Airbridge to record a four song EP.
Thanks everyone who reads,
Nick and Pete (well mostly Nick.)
