Articles published by Softube...
Since I get to create and experiment with so many great tools at my job, I get to know many of the developers during the process. One of my favorite companies is Softube, commonly referred to as the Swedish rock'n'roll scientists. I have written several articles for them, covering topics ranging from mixing tips, plugin compressor selection and operation, project management, and multi-reverb usage, to name a few. Here are the links to the articles - drop by the Softube site to read a few, and demo some of their world-class plugins.
Enjoy!

New projects for Springtime...
This week we finished mastering the new EP release for The Dirty Generals, a Chicago-based rockabilly/honky tonk group, and good friends of the studio. We also started work on another production for The Gigglebellies - an original tune for one of their upcoming children's DVD releases. Also we tracked resonator guitar for the next song by The Hawthorne Effect which will be a mix of Delta blues, fuzzed out psychedelic swagger, and swamp rock. Scott and Bethany are also tracking mandolin for "Wrong Place For The Right Thing", the next song on their own upcoming album (The Morning Stares is their group). Lastly, we finished mixing and mastering for "Mudslide", an original Nashville country production for Karen Kiley. Looks like the Springtime is off to a great start!
