This, That, and the Other Thing
John Silliman Dodge gave a nod to the studio in Margie Boule's Sunday column in The Oregonian. You can read it here. He's been bringing in top notch players, including principal chairs of The Oregon Symphony, and guitarist Eddie Martinez - yes, that Eddie Martinez (Meat Loaf, Robert Palmer, Blondie, Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood, Lou Reed, Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Yoko Ono, Mick Jagger - get it?!). Thanks, John! The new Barefoot mm 27 monitors have so much low end information it's unbelievable. L.A. producer Beau Raymond has left (permanent loan, Beau?!) his Antelope external clock. The stereo imaging when recording digital to this external clock is very noticeable. Who woulda thunk? The studio has a new early '70s Fender Musicmaster bass. It's 3/4 scale and really cool. The Baldwin Electric Harpsichord is back from service and plunks as it should. And the calendar is now fairly busy even into March 2010. Oh yeah, for the first time ever in my life, I dropped a Neumann condensor mic from 6 feet. It bounced, broke, and I'll never do that again. Congrats to Fisk and The Winebirds. Their records are finally mastered and will be out soon. I about forgot, the house is featured in the December 2009 issue of Old House Interiors magazine, now out nationally in book and grocery stores. Check it out!
