Super fun session with sax wizard Mark P today. Our intern and I jumped in, tracked his tune, made some quick tweaks, polished it up, and printed it. Boom! Music magic and good studio vibes all around!

Notes. Notes. Notes. Lots of notes, preparing for a recording session, keeping notes during a session, taking notes and "homework" to do while reviewing mixes with clients, and scratching things off the list. That always feels so good!

I buy CD-R's on 100-count spindles; they last for a long time. I was digging around for some to print an old-school studio client's mixes... but I was out. Next thing you know, a client unloads all of these CD-R's on me. Free!

Got some Adam Audio monitors with crisp ribbon tweeters (read: cut your head off hot). After tweaking the controls and calibrating with Sonarworks, they’re perfectly balanced and my mixes have never sounded better. Very, very enjoyable!

Following up from yesterday, $2,000 to $30,000 mics: who can tell the difference? Why do we buy them? Status? "Oh, this $12,500 Model QR-9X8 has a beautilfiul bump in the mids. A stock EQ plugin takes care of that! What am I missing?

Is very expensive gear is required? I say nay. Aside from the hot topic of mics, how about bedroom producers publishing from untreated rooms e.g., Keaggy, Grohl, Eillish? Where do you draw the line on brands? https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Studio Dawg Indigo on her mat, patiently waiting for a cookie (treat). Sometimes she dozes off, but not too often. She says the mix I'm working on is harsh around 35k. Go figure! Thanks Dog! https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Mixing on headphones? What are you using? Pros? Cons? I don't mix w/phones. Thinking about trying Slate VSX on Black Friday 2025. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Now that UAudio Apollo has partnered with Sonarworks to embed profiles, I wish they'd let me set different profiles for each output. Next Rev? https://CoreZeroStudio.com

What are you using for a keyboard amp? I've been using an Alto Kick-12, but it's getting heavy. Looking for something 10 - 15lbs or less. Looking at a Peavey KB-1, but haven't heard one yet. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Cellist starts with deep, mournful intro. Worship leader planned a fast opener. Band hesitates. Congregation begins repenting. Song cancelled. Band runs out crying.

Been rebuilding my computer since last Wednesday, 7 days! Almost done with software installations. Definitely an uninvited wrench in the works. Went up to the latest operating system anyway. https://CoreZeroStudio.com

Getting lost in the intricacies and layers of albums like Leftoverture & A Night At The Opera along with the realization that it's someone's job to record, mix, and make it sound like that is what got me started! https://CoreZeroStudio.com
