Saturday Blues All photo credits belong to Heather Goodier (35mm scans) (continued from: January 1 and January 2) Our next session was the following Saturday afternoon. I remember admiring the woods and countryside of Old Lyme as I drove south from Glastonbury. The rolling hills would peak and yield antique farmland before tumbling back down into valleys of pine forests; the sun glazing the land and trees with vivid yellows. I wanted to stop at almost every turn in the … Continue reading →

(continued from: January 1) Alright, the second session: December 31st and January 1st. This one is interesting. Our first session had finished up the Wednesday before, so we had two days off from recording — “off” meaning I had to work. I have to correct myself from earlier.

I’m not going to review this plug-in, I am no professional reviewer and anyone can get a demo and try it out on their own. But! I do have an A/B comparison and I do think the … Continue reading →

Why do we record?

Posted on 11/27/2011 by Nate Faulkenberry

This is the broadest question I could ask that has to do with recording. Everyone would give me a different answer, everyone. It’s a hobby, it’s a way of life, it’s a way to share your music, it’s fun. I get that. I get all of that. Still I ask, why do we record? My friend Chris once posed a question: Would you rather live a short life creating music reaching millions of ears or a long life creating music … Continue reading →
