The studio & gear for the #audioworker freaks like me

I really wish I had a trusted assistant right now. I really don't feel like working on this mix.

#AudioWorker

Mixing is fun and sometimes frustrating. Especially when there are a million different little things going on...

#AudioWorker

For the #audioworker it is just built in Ableton devices - with Soothe 2 on the main out before the Ableton Limiter (soothe is nice for goofballs who put fuzz pedals as an insert on the snare)

sorry #audioworker humor here

When the band is warming up it's like I get private concert.

Subtractive eq is where it's at.

I was always drawn to music, it always made sense to me. My dad's Uncle Mario gave me drumsticks and a practice pad when I was 3. I have a music degree, have been playing gigs since I was a teenager. In my 20s I took an opportunity to run a studio, which I bought about 5 years later.

I have an official endorsement relationship with Neve, so you should maybe take everything I say with a grain of salt. But this is the truth:

I think the Shelford channel is basically a perfect thing. Everything about it is brilliant.

Single best piece of gear I’ve ever owned.

Happy spooky season it’s time for #audioworker spookiness

True story actually - one time I put on a pair of sennheiser HD280s and there was a spider inside that I only found once he was tickling my ear

maybe as a distraction maybe because I care - in #audioworker land I've been enjoying the new-ish B-D DT900 Pro-X open back cans - to find a balance of "fun to listen on" and "also doesn't lie to you" is tough - but been thru the ringer this past month with mixing and mastering & love em

uncollected #audioworker thoughts from a conversation with a colleague, not around AI mixing tools, but they came up

something like the context "an AI might help you find some quicker paths through those tedious steps you mentioned while mixing"

shotgun mic miracle #audioworker

This is a nice #audioworker vid for your lunch break:

Recording game audio "death sounds."

Very odd.

#AudioWorker

"Hi-Tech" solution of the day. This is what happens when you bash your knee one too many times underneath a console.
#audioworker

The Pro Tools edit window as a mix is being recorded into the computer. There are various trinkets on the mixing console, including a rubber frog and the Muppet ANIMAL playing the drums

Sometimes mixing is a wrestling match!

#AudioWorker

I've got a wireless keyboard, and sometimes I'll take a mixing break and lie down on the couch, but I'll bring the keyboard with me. After my ears rest, I'll hit play and stay on the couch to see how the mix hits me.
#AudioWorker

Executed a client asked for edit using 2 different methods. One to the 2-track, and one to the multitask and I'll be damned if I can really tell the difference.

#AudioWorker

It's always user error.

It's my, I'm user.

#AudioWorker

Do you ever listen to a record and like how present the drums are, while not actually liking the sound of the drums?

I need to treat my earballs.

View at the mixing console of Oxide Lounge Recording, seeing the console, computer keyboard and monitors, as well as the custom made studio speakers.

I'm still so glad that this is my job and my stuff.
#AudioWorker

Doing simple 'cement mixes' (rougher than a rough mix) this record is going to be a beast to mix!
#AudioWorker

there should be some kind of "file management training" feature that you have to pass before a DAW unlocks the 'record' function #audioworker #missingfiles
