Mixing Long Rider 8/20/09
I prepared some quick mixes for the band the day after recording and they spent a few days listening before our scheduled mix session.
When the band came in Matt (guitar) said that the mixes were actually great and needed only a few small changes.
I brought the level of Matt’s guitar down to better match the level of Rodney’s guitar. We brought up a few solos, added a touch of reverb and slap echo to the vocals and we were pretty much done. We even had time to Read the rest of this entry

Jerry Cripe and Friends – 8/18/09
Holy Cripe!
The Cripe-man was back in the studio and he brought along a few friends. The guests were talented musicians that will be featured during his current round of recording.
Visiting the studio were:
Rio – Percussionist Extraordinaire
Tom- Surf Rock Drummer & Lucky Husband
?- Tom’s beautiful wife and a Wonderful Singer
John – Absolutely the greatest banjoist of all time!
We recorded two songs and I was able to meet with the musicians to discuss their involvement in future recording dates. I appreciated their driving up from Goleta and look forward to hearing and recording them.
After the session Jerry sent me the following text message:
“Wow! Tured out better than i thot – nice mix and w/a little cleanup be great…”
I really appreciate when someone takes the time to say, “good job”.
Good job to you too Jerry, its always my pleasure.

Long Rider – 8/15/09
Rock, Country, Jazz - Long rider plays it all!
Long Rider was in the studio putting together a demo CD to generate some more gigs for the band. I was excited to work w/the band because I’ve seen them live quite a few times and I’ve always been impressed.
The band plays primarily covers & performs regularly at Lompoc’s, Wicked Shamrock bar, and other venues on the Central Coast.
Their repertoire includes tunes by The Eagles, Steely Dan, and the Charlie Daniels Band.
