I updated my studio lounge

Saturation is good

such funny timing, I just saw an Eric Valentine vid where he mentions this record being a big production inspo. must be good

you guys ever try to imagine what the bassline on Prince’s “Kiss” would have been? me neither

I tried really hard to get Melody into Rhapsody in Blue (literally once) and I feel it may have stuck

Gabby in the studio on film from recent afloat sessions

first rolls developed by me I feel extreme accomplishment in this moment

produced by jack wagner
recorded by jack wagner and eric duran-valle
mixed and mastered by @nicholasfstarr.bsky.social

itching for more tonal options in the studio. I have a morgan 30/800 that gets leaned on a lot and an orange and a twin. what’s a good “high gain” must have head? (extra points for interesting boutique suggestions)

I think sometimes you can’t see the current under the waves, or lack thereof, and it can feel like there’s no movement at all when really you’re in the middle of a very long slow process. It’s very hard to see the forest for the trees on days like that but down time is productive, too

currently going through my backlog of 2 years of film photos (it’s a lot) to organize and do…. something..? with.

is this printed photo books of sessions at the studio? just a big ole photo section on my website? YOU decide

I would never tell him this, but he’s doing a great job
