Poor Abbey. A few days ago, taking a break from mixing the Chasing Kings record, spotted a skunk on the backyard and instinctually pounced. What followed was a long evening of me, the hose, and a horrible concoction of Dish Soap, Hydrogen Peroxide, Vinegar, and Baking Soda. Rough week for the poo. (Taken with instagram)
With the Matt & The Mainstream record knocked out of the park and quickly mastered by my old pal Gavin Lurssen, getting underway mixing the debut album for my new favorite unsigned band Chasing Kings. Quite a week this one.
Heaven help me, ProTools 10.
Stoked….spending the next couple weeks in the new studio, kicking out a couple indie mixes. Gear Highlights include a new ProTools Native System running on an 8 Core Mac Pro that is blowing my mind, some new UAD plugs including the Studer A800 Emulation (which I am embarrassed to admit brings a grin from ear to ear), and a recently invigorated set of Ampex 601 Electronics that is just the bejeebus on bass.
Overdubs continue on the the next album for The Coronas. Here’s the first single, recorded a matter of days ago,
In The Air Advert
One of man’s finest achievements.
The new Kooks record, Junk Of The Heart, is about to drop. For the next few days, it’s streaming on their Facebook page. CHECK IT OUT! Click to Listen. Produced and MIxed by Tony Hoffer, Engineered by yours truly.
Heading back in to the cave for a handful of weeks with Tony Hoffer and The Coronas.
From their wikipedia page: The Coronas are a Meteor Award–winning Irish four-piece Rock-Indie-Alternative band from Terenure, Dublin, Ireland. They have released two studio albums, Heroes or Ghosts (2007) and Tony Was An Ex-Con (2009). The first album contained hits such as Grace, Don’t Wait, Heroes or Ghosts and San Diego Song.
I’ve been thinking.
If I could do it all over again, I’d definitely go back and be the drummer for Mott The Hoople.
Abbey. Owning It.
