Matthew came and recorded the pedal steel for Great Norths album. Although pictured is my Vox AC15 we used the speaker from its cabinet with the Princeton as the amp (out of shot) sounded beautiful. I'm leaning more towards the Arabella for the pedal steel sounds, has a bit more high end clarity that the pedal steel requires. <br />

Some more Late Night Poets recording the other week. We recorded another 3 songs. One of the songs I previously recorded with them was voted number 1 on theaudience.co.nz unreleased chart, winning them $10,000 to make a video for it. <br />

Over the past few weeks quite a bit has been happening on Great Norths album, Acoustic guitars have been recorded, Piano, Bass and we've started Vocals and Electric guitar. Lots of recording, very little blogging. I've been enjoying my latest purchase; the Royer R121's. They're used as Overheads, Acoustic Mic's, Piano mics (behind the piano) and as a Guitar amp mic so far and I'm sure plenty of other things to come.<br />
<br />
Pedal Steel to record on Friday and more Vocals before Christmas. <br />

I recently tracked some drums and a few guitars and then mixed and mastered some B-Sides for Clap Clap Riot. Their new stuff is really great, you should <a href="http://www.clapclapriot.com/" target="_blank">check them out.</a></div>

Also new and great are a couple of Calves that were born out here the other week, there has been a mandatory visit for almost everyone recording to go and pet them at the moment. They're so cute! </div>

A few weeks ago I went on tour around New Zealand with Avalanchd City and Luke Thompson for their solo acoustic tour, we were joined on the road by van der Wel, Joseph & Maia, Holly Arrowsmith and Shannelee Ray. Most of the tour we had a camper van from Might Campers, it was an amazing touring vehicle and I slept in it a few nights. Heres a few photos from the tour, I've been busy since I've been back recording, some other blog posts to follow in the next few days! </div>

We're starting work on the third Great North album, slightly different process this time. In the past we've done most of the tracks live. Last time recording Vocals, Acoustic guitar, Bass and Drums live for almost all of the songs. This time we're tracking to a click and have just finished the main part of the drums to a pre recorded acoustic and vocal guide. Next up either Acoustic guitar or bass... or anything really!<br />
<br />
With the addition of 3 mics and a couple of new preamps my drum tracking setup has become a lot more flexible. For Great Norths drums I went with Royer R121's as overheads. RE20 in the kick and the Nady ribbon mic as a kick out mic. I also put the KM184's back in the room as ORTIF room mics.Little Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01635298353375869616noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034931937265693797.post-86132883009952637642013-08-26T18:35:00.000+12:002013-08-26T18:35:34.662+12:00Late Night Poets Recording<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

New band Late Night Poets spent the past 5 days recording 3 songs, perfect timing to get to try out my new Royer R121 and BeesNeez Arabella. <br />

I forgot to write this post! A couple of weekends back French For Rabbits were up in Auckland to finish of their next single and add the last parts on their album before heading overseas.<br />
<br />
Since then I've been busy editing and starting mixing the record, plus finishing and mixing the Hula Hope songs I recorded and then mastering her album, some great songs on there!<br />

A week ago I jumped on a plane headed to Manila for Wanderland Festival with Avalanche City. We were looked after by so many lovely people I kinda wished I didn't have to leave, but now I am happily back on New Zealand soil and looking forward to getting back in to mixing and editing some Hula Hope and French for Rabbits songs this week.</div>

A few weeks ago I recorded the bones of 3 more songs with Hula Hope from Wellington featuring guest vocals from Steve Abel. I'm in the process of adding a few extra parts to them (bass, keys etc) and asked Alex to play some drums/percussion. I'd added some of me playing individual marching drums on a song but needed more of a full drum kit sound for the others. <br />

Over the past month I've been making some purchases to upgrade the studio and I thought I'd post a little about what I bought and my current setup.<br />
<br />
I recently bought a new apple 27" iMac and upgraded to Protools 10, unfortunately I just missed 11 by a couple of weeks but I think 10 will last me a while yet and I'm happy to not have to upgrade all of the plugins. <br />
<br />
As you can see in the picture above I've also moved all of my preamps in to a rack (except for the 1073DMP) (DMP standing for Desktop Mic Pre, designed specifically to sit on a desk top!) and added a Focusrite ISA428 and an API 500-6B Lunchbox with 2x API 512c mic preamps in it.<br />
<br />
The Focusrite is taking over conversion duties with its A-D card and I have the four channels of the ISA428, the two API and the two Toft channels being converted and going in to the ADAT in on the 003.<br />
<br />
Along with the 003's 4 mic pre's I have the BAE 1073DMP and 3 channels of the Presonus Digimax plugged in to the line in's on the 003. <br />
<br />
That gives me 16 channels! 12 of which I can plug straight in to from my new Whirlwind 12 channel drop snake. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think that brings you up to speed! I'm really excited to get stuck in to some proper recording with the new setup, the pre's I've added should really step up the quality of the source recordings!Little Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01635298353375869616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034931937265693797.post-28452825647313265032013-04-25T15:03:00.002+12:002013-04-25T15:03:25.361+12:00Live Sound - Farah Loux<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After recording yesterday I headed in to do sound for Farah Loux at a corporate event. They had acrobats, a confetti canon that fired just before the band started to play, fake tattoo/makeup artists, a silent disco but instead of music: Morgan Freeman talked to you and there was bread with dips inside paint tubes.

French For Rabbits were here over the weekend recording and mixing some songs for their album. We finished a single a couple of weeks back and they've just shot a video for it. They've also just got another grant so I should be heading down to Wellington again soon to work on another single, and they'll be back up to finish their album.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of how Brooke spent most of her time while we were mixing!!<br />

On Saturday we caught an empty ferry out to Motutapu Island where I did sound for Avalanche City for 'The Dual' which is held on Motutapu and Rangitoto Islands (I forgot to take photos) and then Sunday we caught an early plane to Palmerston North where they played in the square. It was a beautiful day!<br />

I spent a few days at Blue Barn studio in Wellington with French For Rabbits working on a Single that might feature on their forthcoming album. Pretty fun getting in to a different space for a bit although I hardly felt like I was in Wellington as I didn't leave the studio except for sleep! We worked hard and got all the tracking done, now I'm back in Auckland ready to mix it all. <br />

Great North spent the evening with me on Valentines Day, not being romantic but recording demos for 2 songs that might be on their forthcoming album, one song we recorded everything except backing vocals live and the other (which was a stripped back song) Acoustic, the 3 vocals, electric and Harmonica seperately. The photos were taken by Great Norths Pianist Dale. <br />

Last Friday I caught the two planes to Blenheim with Avalanche City for a beautiful dusk soundcheck for the Marlborough Food and Wine Festival the next day. What a beautiful place Blenheim is! The next day we had just enough time for a glass of wine or 2 before Avalanche City played and we headed straight out to catch the smallest plane I have ever been on! <br />

Today in a continuing theme we made our way to the North Shore for the Devenport Food and Wine Festival. My photo couldn't capture it but the two kids at the front left of the stage were such sassy dancers and received applause when they broke in to a synchronised dance routine. Next Friday we're in Hamilton before I fly out to Wellington to make a start on French For Rabbits album.<br />

I recently spent a couple of weeks in Australia doing sound for Avalanche City at the Big Day Outs. The shows went really well! Its always interesting as to what I should expect from an Avalanche City show, the band is constantly evolving and changing its line up of instruments and members and this was the first time this line up had played together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dave has played for the majority of last year around America as a three piece and at the moment opt to play 'Go' in that arrangement with Dave stomping on a stomp box for the kick drum and Stephen stepping down from the Drums to sing and play Tambourine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The shows sounded great! (even if I say so myself) I was a bit nervous at first as I had in the past been somewhat weary of Avid's live desks but I soon found my way around the Profile and made friends. </div>

Last year a good deal of my time was spent recording Great North's second album 'Halves' I'm so proud to be able to announce that <a href="http://www.nzmusicawards.co.nz/2013/01/27/great-north-takes-folk-tui/" target="_blank">Halves was recently awarded the Tui for Best Folk Album of 2013</a>! Its been amazing working with Great North the past few years on their EP 'Soldiers' and first album 'Newfoundland' but I was especially proud of Halves and Hayden writes some very intelligent, heart wrenching, beautiful songs so its amazing to see some recognition for something that we worked so hard on.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to Hayden, Rachel, Strahan, Dale, Olly, and new drummer Ryan! Special mentions to Matthew Hutching who played Pedal Steel and Stephanie Cole who played Banjo on Lead Me To The Light.<br />
