Bounce & Transfer

Spending the afternoon going through old recordings of local shows and transferring them to the computer whilst enjoying a cup of coffee. I have over 30 sessions collecting dust on this 4-track. I’m hoping to put them up on Musical Family Tree within the next day or so.

Some of the performances I am transferring…
1. The Soil & The Sun
2. Heavy Cream
3. Timbre
4. Chad Serhal
5. Osteoferocious
6. The Bonesetters
7. Wooden Boxes
8. Metavari
9. Two Mini Humans

A good friend of mine has been working on developing a mobile app to help bar-goers interact with what DJs are playing in a somewhat democratic fashion. The Silo will be hosting their launch party tonight. There’s a cover to get in but if you have the queUP app installed on your phone, the cover is waived.

If you have a facebook account (who doesn’t these days) you can check out The Silo at facebook.com/thesilomuncie

You can read the article that the Ball State Daily News ran on my friend, Alex, here.

Bashville Boys @ The Fickle Peach 12.31.2011

For those of you that were unable to attend the NYE party at The Fickle Peach, you missed out on a killer time. Fortunately for you, I managed to record a good bit of the show. You can download the entire Bashville Boys performance by clicking HERE! If you don’t feel like downloading… You can go stream the entire performance at musicalfamilytree.com/band/reber_recording.

I would like to thank The Fickle Peach for asking me to organize their NYE party. I would also like to thank Cowboy Angels, The Bashville Boys, DJ Jannell and The Cocaine Wolves for helping us all bring in 2012 in style. All I did was organize and run sound… The bands provided all of the content. Hats off to them!

Oh, and last but not least… I would like to thank everyone that shelled out $5 to come and celebrate with us! Without you it would not have been as fun. The place was PACKED. We ended up having to turn people away at certain points because we were over capacity! Thanks again for making it a night to remember!

I recorded the show on my new handheld recorder! I will try to put it on MFT at some point this week. Keep your eyes and ears open for it.

NYE 2011 FLYER

After watching a number of video tutorials on how to make audio cables I began to make mental notes on how to set up my work space. I have a plethora of timber in the garage so I decided to use some to create a soldering station. This is the 80% finished product. I still have to install a few metal plates. Alas, it’s not going to win any beauty contests but it’s ultra functional.

Mikey Mason

It’s been a while since I updated the ol’ studio blog and much has happened since my last post. Things have been seen, eaten, and experienced. Oh, and some work has been done as well. For instance, Mikey Mason’s album, “Impotent Nerd Rage” has been mixed and mastered and handed over! In fact, he’s already released the album online through his bandcamp site! Show him some love by listening… and if you want to throw in some extra affection, shell out some $$$.

What’s more, he’s already in the midst of shooting a music video for one of the singles! He’s a very ambitious guy and has a lot of plans for his new release. I enjoy his overall sense of enthusiasm and motivation.

Anyway…

I spent my early afternoon hours at the studio with Mikey Mason shooting some video for a song titled “My Next Girlfriend.” The image above is just a glimpse of what is to come.

Mikey has a CD Release Party scheduled for THIS SATURDAY (08/27/2011) at The Fickle Peach in Muncie, Indiana. If you’re a geek or a nerd and want to hear some music that’s directed towards your social situation… show up around 8PM.

These guys spent 14-days recording here at Reber Recording in Muncie, Indiana. Sadly, the record label that was footing the bill (ahem.. Mossback Records) ended up crashing and burning in a horribly unpleasant mess of poverty and despair. However, like a magnificent phoenix, The Bonesetters are unshook. They are determined to find the necessary funds to get their album off of the studio shelf and into the ears of their fans. BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!!! Please donate whatever money you can spare and help them to put out this record. They have worked really hard to make it sound as large and amazing as possible. They really really really really want you to hear it. I want you to hear it as well. So, let’s make it happen! Open up your digital wallets and make it rain!
