I am now studioless. Things… didn’t work out with the last space and I basically had a couple grand stolen from me. It sucked, it sucks, but I’m dealing with it. New plan is to pay off all bills, replenish savings, and find a new space in a few months.

In the meantime, I am still doing some recording. Woe will begin album #3 on Saturday by heading to Gradwell House in Haddon Heights, NJ for drums. I did the drums and guitars for the last album there and am really excited to work there again. It’s a beautiful space with fantastic gear and both Dave and Steve are awesome guys. Overall, I think this is making the best out of a bad situation and I think there’s a good chance the album will come out even better because of this. I’m going to supplement their gear (API 3124+, 6 channels from an old Neotek console, some Neve clones, and a ton of killer mics) with my Sebatron, my friend’s Joly-modded Oktava MK012s, my Joly-modded NT87, and some other little things. I’m still not sure where we’re going to record the rest of the album but if we have to, we can keep going to Gradwell. Most of the mixing can be done on headphones with suplemental and final mixes done in rented spaces, so while this will be more of a hassle, it will also keep me from engineering it into the ground. I guess there’s something to be said for that.
