In what was possibly the most one-sided transactio In what was possibly the most one-sided transaction since Ser Jorah Mormont's relationship with Daenerys Targaryen, I purchased this mint condition Martin D28 from someone who didn't know what he had. What I learned, however, is that beyond a certain point, the quality of the guitar will not impact the sound recording as much as the quality of the strings. Mic and mic position can be massively important too. I rerecorded almost all of my acoustic guitar parts for the album numerous times at the home studio. First when I bought an Earthworks ZDT preamp. Second when I changed mics from an Earthworks QTC30 to a JJ Audio Pitbull, and changed the mic position from up close to about 2 feet away from the guitar neck facing the junction where the neck meets the body to avoid nasty proximity distortion that's not supposed to happen with omni mics and yet... My current setup is no doubt not the perfect mic position (perhaps and I could have gotten more fancy shmancy recording in stereo) but it's safe, and when I learned that mono guitar recording was the choice of many industry professionals, I was sold. I rerecorded again when my recordings were described by my original mastering engineer as dark and woody. This was partially due to the stylings of the mixing engineer, but mostly due to the strings. I originally opted for medium Elixir strings to prevent slide noise. The low E, A, and D strings sounded horribly plastic and overpowered the higher strings by a factor of 5. In the context of a full orchestra, only dark rhythmic chugs could be heard. I switched to light Martin Silk and Steel strings. I get relatively low slide noise playing on these and they sound so much brighter and melodic: almost like a Classical guitar. I actually had the engineer raise the low frequencies with EQ to avoid overcorrecting the faults of the previous recordings. #martind28 #acousticguitar #acousticguitars #homerecording #acousticguitarrecording
Bought this guitar for $197 in 1991 when I was sti Bought this guitar for $197 in 1991 when I was still in high school. Held plenty of guitars that go for 10 times as much and have yet to hold one that feels as comfortable in my hands as this. It was used to record all electric guitar on the album. #electricguitar #electricguitars #samick #samickguitars

I met artist Jen Lightfoot at the Tracadero in Phi I met artist Jen Lightfoot at the Tracadero in Philly. She was performing material from her earlier albums. She's got a phenomenally unique singing voice. Her creativity extends beyond drawing and into musicality as well. I highly recommend her albums Before the Blood and The Devil Inside. As a visual artist, she's an absolute genius. I saw this one hanging in a Northern Liberties gallery at a First Friday event she was co-hosting. I had to have it! She was kind enough to accept a down payment with the money I had on me. We settled up at a coffee house a few days later. We talked about the creative process. Hers is very similar to my own. We both go into altered states to do our best work and neither of us use drugs to get there. I don't know how many recording artists own the original artwork used on their album covers, but this is one I had to have. It's iconic! #art #artists #jenlightfoot #surrealart

My workhorse studio computer. AMD FX8350 8 core 4. My workhorse studio computer. AMD FX8350 8 core 4.2Gzhz processor, 32 Gigs of RAM, 3Tb solid state memory, Saphire Radeon R9 295X2 graphics card (because a computer this powerful should be able to play Dragon Age Inquisitiin), Azza Full tower CSAZ8100B metal casing, multiple USB3 and HDMI2 ports. The money I saved with this home build over a comparable Mac Pro afforded my Yamaha HS8 monitors, a 32" 4K monitor, a Behritone mono speaker and an Apollo Twin converter. Plus I can upgrade and change out parts easily. Now the major obstacle to recording and monitoring in the same room is fan noise from the computer being picked up by the mics. Solution: Be Quiet Silentwings fans. I also slapped a Noctua NF-F12 fan on the processor. Reduced fan noise 95%. Put an auralex panel betwern computer and micriphone when recording and I'm good to go. #homestudio #computerbuild #computers #recording
8 massive bass traps line my 20'x20' home studio. 8 massive bass traps line my 20'x20' home studio. Would have cost many thousands to buy prefab traps, not to mention shipping. Start with buying some Roxul Rockboard insulation. Cut it to size. Spray some clear silicone over it to keep it from dusting. Build wooden framing around it. Wrap it in fabric. Put felt padding underneath the bottom for the stand alone ones. Anchor to your walls to prevent them from tipping over. You'll now have massive acoustic absorbtion across all frequencies and you'll be able to record even bass and kick drums without sonic reflections. Get a good reverb patch. #homestudio #basstraps
Got an amazing bulk deal in these Auralex panels! Got an amazing bulk deal in these Auralex panels! The catch was that they came unwrapped. My wife Jennifer stitched wrapping around these. I put cash into her IRA as payment. Would have cost a fortune to have someone else do it, and I'd still be wrappung them and there would be no album yet if it were left up to me. Auralex absorbs twice as much sound as equally thick egg crate foam. Looks a lot better too. #homestudio #auralex #acoustictreatment

My old workhorse. My Korg TR Workstation. Three qu My old workhorse. My Korg TR Workstation. Three quarters of the songs on Arranged Accidents were written and arranged into this machine, before I took the time to learn Pro Tools. I still have the original MIDI recordings of those songs. Most of the analogue instruments are poorly represented, though piano, harp, drums, harpsichord sound great. Some of the electronic patches are so beautifully ethereal, that they were used on the album. #korg
My worst investment in building my home studio: my My worst investment in building my home studio: my Behringer X Touch. Faders and knobs cannot be assigned so volume is the only controllable automation. It constantly disconnects from my computer and interfacing it with Pro Tools is s nightmare. Even as a transport controller it's terrible. May be more compatible with other computers and DAW's. #behringer #behringerxtouch
My JJ Audio Pitbull mic. Much thanks to my friend My JJ Audio Pitbull mic. Much thanks to my friend Jim Jacobsen, CEO of JJ Audio. I was looking for an economical alternative to the legendary Neumsnn U87 and ended up with a mic so good that I'll probably never own a U87. The Pitbull was used to record all acoustic guitar on my album. #jjaudio #jjaudiohomestudio #u87 #u87ai #jimjacobsen #soundrecording #recordingstudio
My Earthworks QTC 30 omni mic. With Zero Distortio My Earthworks QTC 30 omni mic. With Zero Distortion Tehnology it's designed to record with 100% accuracy: a field frequency response near absolute zero, and an unbelievably low noise floor. This mic did an excellent job at capturing vocals and violin. It produced heinous proximity effects when recording guitar up close however, which is rare for omni mics to do. So while not a perfect all sround mic, it covers half my bases. #earthworksmicrophones #QTC30 #recording
