It’s July Already?

Okay, so June went way too fast. I’ve been busy working on and finishing up several projects and have filled in what little free time I had with other work! So, what have I been up to? Well, I was the location sound mixer for the short film “High Value” directed by Chuck Cranston for Telemark Pictures. We spent four days in the Flint Hills of Kansas on location and I’ve never had more fun doing location sound.

I also took some time to do some location sound work for a new Ashley Furniture commercial. Although less glamorous, it was still a great time!

Stay tuned for more cool stuff that is heading down the pipe. Including a complete overhaul of this site (again)…

New Black Lion Audio AM/CHA1 EQ

Black Lion Audio is well known for their modifications to affordable pro-sumer gear like the Digi002/003 and MOTU units (as well as mods for Digi’s higher end 96 i/o and HD 192 interfaces). They have been steadily expanding their product line to include high-end items at an affordable price such as their MicroClock, Autuer Preamp and Sparrow AD converter, but I believe they may have outdone themselves this time.

Black Lion introduced the AM/CHA1 EQ and it looks like a killer piece of gear. A stereo inductor based EQ with custom wound CineMag transformers for $1,195.00?! It almost sounds too good to be true, but with their track record, I can believe it. I can’t wait to test one out, it might be my first purchase my new mastering studio.

Jack Joseph Puig Talks About His Waves Plugins

Jack Joseph Puig talks about his Fairchild and Pultec Waves Plugins. I use his Pultec plugs a lot at the Brickhouse Studios both on individual tracks and on my stereo buss. They are wonderful sounding plugins, but if the price is too high, there are several companies making budget versions that sound very nice (ie Nomad Factory Pulse-Tec EQs).

Steinberg Wavelab Announced for Mac OSX

Wavelab 7 Collage
Steinberg has announced that the new Wavelab 7 will be available on Mac OSX. And to say the least, I am pretty excited about this! I have been using i3′s DSP Quattro for mastering and sequencing and as much as I like it, Wavelab seems to be the superior product.

Wavelab 7 should start shipping in the second half of 2010.
