revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3824 North Atlantic	Posted on Sep 24 2013 07:16 PM Currently waiting for my home renos to finish before I lay down a new guitar track for one of the tunes that went wonky. This would be recording limbo....sigh. Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top
revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3824 North Atlantic	Posted on Nov 19 2013 07:24 PM Recording limbo is over. I finished the last guitar part at home. The engineer emailed me the Logic Session, I loaded into my computer, and set up a small recording rig. Strat > Reverb Tank > Kalamazoo Model 2 Close miked with a SM-57, distanced miked with MLX large condenser. Back on track again! Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top

revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3824 North Atlantic	Posted on Nov 22 2013 01:58 PM Yeah, it had been a while. The initial session went really quicky, but Renos and live shows kept everyone busy. The recording part is done, as is the artwork. Mixing, madtering, and pressing is next. This should be out in early 2014. Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top

It's amazing how much deeper the dynamics can appear to be as well as the added warmth just by running the mixes over tape and tape heads — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top
revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3824 North Atlantic	Posted on Dec 02 2013 04:47 PM Our engineer picked up an 8 track tape machine, and suggested we should try it. He's a surf nut too. I can't wait to hear the results. With Brad, the engineer, I just stay out of his way and let him mix alone. Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top
Noel Joined: Mar 15, 2011 Posts: 8528 Back in Piitsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I grew up.	Posted on Dec 02 2013 05:21 PM Looking forward to this very much. Having a surf-nut for an engineer ought to lead to very exciting results. — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top
CrazyAces Joined: Jul 31, 2012 Posts: 4053 Nashville, TN.	Posted on Dec 02 2013 05:39 PM Rev, I also find that with a good engineer it's best to leave them to their devices and designs. Their ears are usually so much better than most of us guitar players. With the ease of home recording these days everyone thinks they can mix and master but that's not often the truth You guys are getting real close to done. Can't wait to hear it! — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top

revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3824 North Atlantic	Posted on Mar 19 2014 06:56 PM Here's an update. Spoke too soon when I said the mixes were done back in January. I can now say the mixes are done, and the mastering should take place in a couple of weeks. Sometimes things progress at a crawl, but that's the wY it goes. No worries on our part. There have been lots of gigs, travel,renos, unforeseen studio malfunctions, studio relocation due to city bylaw issues, and a pesky tape machine. The cover is pretty much done. The mixes sound great, so the delays were worth it! Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Top
