On the Turntable
The Ache of Your Touch
I upgraded my monitors to @ikmultimedia iLoud Precision MTMs. I have to say I`m impressed. Crystal clear mids, solid bottom end, and clean high end. The built-in room correction works like a charm. I was worried that it wouldn`t live up to the hype, but it sure did. I do have some treatment in my studio area, but there is a lot I cannot control. The room correction made a world of difference. I can`t wait until my next mixing session.

New build from @diyrecordingequipment. Put together two EQP5s (based off PulTec EQ) and a two space 500-series rack. Put it after my Colour Duo in the mix down chain. Sounds amazing! I`m looking forward to playing with it more on some upcoming tracks I`m working on.

Hanging at the #taxiroadrally with @chiarelli_rob listening to his sage advice and reminiscing about my track that got played at last year`s closing pitch panel when @charnel_veil jumped on stage and started free styling to my track, which Rob called "the best thing he`s seen in his 27 years of attending the Taxi Road Rally." BTW, KP and I have completed the track and hope to release it soon. Keep your eyes open for The Four Horsemen Ride!

So I got to play onstage with @jakeshimabukuro at the @mauiartsculture (along with about 50 other people) so that was cool. Then he put on an amazing show. I never would have imagined hearing Jeff Beck on a ukulele, but OMG that was unreal! The whole ukulele festival was amazing as always. Too many amazing performances to list them all.

The Hellcaminos, Gauze, and the Centipedes @paiabaycoffeeandbar. Hellcaminos made my ears bleed 😱

Another project from @diyrecordingequipment complete! Just finished this #OLA5 optical compressor and can`t wait to try it out along with the #73P preamp on some guitar. I realize now that these projects have the same kind of addiction as tattoos-- you finish one and your already starting to think about your next one. (Or so I`ve been told. I have no tattoos even though my son @derpwaara is a tattoo artist.) 😁

Rochester friends! One of my favorite bands of all time, @xthebandofficial, will be in Rochester tonight at @waterstreetmusichall. Do yourself a favor and get your butts down there. I would be there in a heartbeat if I weren`t 5000 miles away. Go. Just go!

There were a million other things I should have been doing today, but I couldn`t help but finish my @diyrecordingequipment #73P mic pre-amp. I didn`t have time to calibrate it, but it passed the basic signal test. 🎙️🎛️
