Memorial Day

 I've been editing the podcast of Congressman Davy. 

The remote recording lifestyle.

The mixes of the music from Kingsize Studios (Michael Hagler) sound real good. The use of the Allen & Heath automatic mic mixer worked well for the podcast. Sure, we also recorded (and have used) isolated tracks of each microphone, but the 2-mix of AMM worked well. More on that later.
The microphone cluster for recording the podcast of Congressman Davy. It's basically a cluster of film mics. There's a big ol' ribbon mic in there but it's not used in the mix at all.

Recording "on location" which, in our case, means recording in a lovely little DC theater. 

The Zoom F8 was used as a backup recorder. The primary recorder was a multitrack recording in Reaper. I'm liking Reaper more and more. It really has one of the most high-performing audio engines. Although amusingly enough the engineers at Samplitude made their own engine vastly more efficient. 

Legs and feet.

For me, the most fun part is that I got to work with Blair Johnson. He and Maduka and I shared an office for many years.
