Miscellaneous thoughts and photos from David Brandon’s tracking session

David was back in recording the CD examples for the Christopher Parkening Method books, so I snapped a couple pictures.  You can see the micing technique we used for the Legacy CD here.

(Also note the fancy cardboard box we used as a music stand!)

I got back from a great trip to Austin.  Everytime I work with Bobby Bookout I am impressed with his songwriting.  This is going to be a phenomenal album.

I start recording the metal band This Soul Divided Friday.  We had a preproduction rehearsal tonight and I dig where they’re going.  I’ve wanted to record a metal project for a long time and these guys are great.

Ben (my chief engineer) has been working with some amazing hip hop clients. I really dig ABC…  Check ‘em out.
