March 12, 2005-Got the audio card installed so we have multitrack recording. Looking to install a door on the vocal booth. I know it should have been done a while ago but it never happened. Possible upgrades to the computer soon and more bands needed to record. If you want to record, please tell me. "Saturday night Recording session" for this week was moved to sunday next week it's back to our regular "Saturday night Seesion".
Febuary 23, 2005-Been a while since I updated or even recorded. Though it feels good to be behind the mixer. The Mission 19 studios E-mail account was deactivated so all mail was lost sorry if you sent something to that E-mail account. It is back up and working again. Kevin and myself have been recording again, Kevin is laying some hot tracks. We picked up a third member Eric. Real great guy and a good songwriter. I've been learning a lot and have gotten new equipment. We hopefully will be able to do live multi-track recording in the near future. This will be a big upgrade from before. More to come soon
September 19- It's been a long and crazy summer. FOr the past month I have had a bee invasion into the studio. During that time I rarely could get more then 5 minutes of work in. In other words the studio shut down for a month. Holly finished what she could before she left. I wish her the best of luck in college and I hope to keep in touch. I have pictures of the studio that I just need to scan and place on the page so expect them after I clean up the mess.
July 28-Yesterday was the last day of the summit county fair, where there was a Talent contest/battle of the bands. The studio was there in full force doing the sound. This was a new experince for me seeing most of my work has been in the studio which is a totally different expereince. I learned a lot of new techniques and other fun stuff out there. Plus I got to see some great bands and artists. The two that stand out the most were A Fineline which was a rock band that played good music and had great stage presence. Then there was Valerie. Out of the vocalist section of the show she was the only one to play guitar with her songs while all the other singers sang along to preproduced tracks(some even over the original singers. This made a great impression. Then she got on stage and her charisma and actual talent flowed. Afterwards I congratulated her and she gave me her demo which was phenomenal. It was just vocal and guitar but I could just hear the possibilities hopefully I'll get to play a show with her as she has talent to boot. Tomorrow marks the first day back in the studio with holly. We have limited time so we will be pushing to finish some some songs before she leaves.
June 29- The mixer came in last night and it's partly hooked up to all the wires. Overhead drum mics come in tuesday so wedsnesday will be a start to recording again. Hollys gone this week so when she gets home I hope to surprise her with lots of work done on the two songs she has finished. Driving Blind will be in to do a one song demo hopefully I can get them to do a couple more songs. Kevins will be back in and of course I will also be recording stuff for myself. There will be a big show end of July with most of the tallmadge bands if not all. I always love playing shows with my friends. The recording process has been streamlined yet again.
June 10- I got to see my cousins over the week end and I was so glad to see them I love you guys and hope I get to see you soon. Today I bid on a new mixing board on E-bay. The auction closes tomorrow so I will know if I got it tomorrow or not. Though i did add it to the gear page. If I don't win this auction there are three more I can bid on that are the same. New radiohead album is awesome, if you buy one album buy that one.
June 5- So I have been freakisly addicted to buying music gear lately. I had sent in an order and found another microphone I wanted and now I have ordered yet another thing. Hope I can pay all this off. So half my gear arrived. Two new microphones two new stands and new cables. One day I will move this out of the basement and rent a space cause this is what I want to do. Things got moved around again. Hollys in on friday and all is grand. All new equipment will be displayed on it's own page as soon as I get the pictures back.
