Posted on December 15, 2014     Leave a Comment

2014 has been a fun year here in the world of online guitar sessions. Here’s what was going to be a quick round up but has ended up being a sort of digest of my working year. Pimp my rig Fun stuff first – new guitars. The biggest, most inspiring thing as far as I’m concerned […]

In the recording heaven that is @copperbrownuk yesterday, tracking drums with @pringledrums. We are overdriving the @rupert_neve 1073DPA preamps, making that snare louder and fatter (but peaking lower). #preamp #ride #rock #drums #producer #engineer #theguitaristplayingthesoloismeobviouslythatswhyiusedthisclip
The new Performance 3 capo from @g7thcapo. This thing is great. The P2 is super easy to use and unbelievably quick, and the P3 takes the pressure management a step further with absolutely perfect string pressure on every string no matter how hard you apply it. Don’t know how it works, only moderately interested, but highly highly recommend. #capo #guitar #guitarist #acoustic #electric #nowicanplaycowboychordseverywhere
Playing tonight at @livausten ‘s double single vinyl (who does double single vinyl these days? This gal) which is the first time something g I’ve been involved in has made it to vinyl. To my knowledge anyway. I did radio edits of both with Liv’s help, and took the opportunity to revisit the mixes - the vinyl mixes are warmer and fatter, and maybe not as loud - I prefer them. Funny how a bit of time away from stuff changes perspective, and how quickly skills and tastes develop. Hey ho. Congrats Leeeb! #ukcountrymusic #vinyl #
Night off with good people tonight: @laurajane389 ‘s screening of comedy pilot @birdsnog, which features the music of @livausten and audio work by @lukenathancutler and myself. Location of screening was Luke’s INCREDIBLE studio @copperbrownuk, so we snuck off afterwards to talk production and listen to stuff we’re working on. I was kind enough to borrow a vintage AKG 414 to check it’s working right. I’ll let you know ASAP pal... 😇 Why TF did you have to build this place in North Finchley though. #studio #music #pilot #sitcom #blokeswithgear
Fun afternoon recording an Under The Apple Tree session @utatmusic with the absolute dude @milesmh, @whisperingbob and the definitely not-whispering @livausten. #acoustic #session #ukcountrymusic
