DRUM12: Final Math Rock Shed at My Current Home Studio
I just recorded my last drum track for The Walding Family before I tear apart my home studio and start over somewhere else.
This song is tentatively titled "I Decline"... here's one of the shreddier/mathier drum parts. :-)
Looking forward to dropping some of these new TWF songs that I have been teasing. There should definitely be music available before the end of 2017, hopefully as early as October - sorry it's taking a little while!
Making songs and releasing them properly takes time, it's crazy.
Very cool @heymattsokol
I'm putting on the "studio nerd hat"...
What is your setup for recording your kit? Is there a mic on top of that tall stand behind you? Also, what are you recording to? PTools? Logic? 4-track cassette? ;) Sorry had to throw that last one in there. BTW I am actually looking for one of those.
Cheers,

This video is straight to my iPhone camera and mic. I broke down the microphones right before this, since it was recorded at the end of the session - before that I was just using two microphones, one for the kick and one for the room.
It would be fun to have a 4-track to play around with... right now it's all Logic DAW tho
Very nice. I bought into ProTools many moons ago and I am still riding that train. I oftentimes wonder what my life would be like with Logic... hmmmmm
I got this bad boy last December....
I run tracks out to it from ProTools to give it that "je ne sais quoi" that only tape can give me.

Wow, thats amazing! Your tracks must really have that warm analog sound.
It works for certain things. My main instrument is fiddle. So the tape takes some of the edges off.
The tape compression has a way of working on unpredictable things. I sometimes run a stem out to tape as an experiment, not expecting anything and then new track sits in the mix exactly where it should! Hard to explain.
This machine was owned by my old drum teacher Don Wherry (AMAZING MUSICIAN). He passed away many years ago, but I keep saying that when I get an unexpected result from the tape, "That's Don. He played that." hahaha Great fun. If you can pick up a decent machine in a yard sale do it. It does not eat any hay and tape is pretty cheap.
