Check out this great video of Drew Defour's "In The Blood" live at Big Sky Recording.

"In the Blood" along with the rest of his record "Decade" was recorded using all analogue methods. Not even digital guitar pedals! For effects we just used spring and plate reverb and tape delay. The band tracked live to 2" 24 track tape on the Ampex MM1200, mixed through the Harrison 790 down to 1/4" 2 track, and will be released on vinyl. You can hear the studio version of this track in the samples page.

For 2 weeks of tracking for their new album with producer Jamie Candiloro, it felt like Ragbirds were living here! It's a rare treat for us to have one talented band all set up and ready to play whichever of the dozens of instruments in their arsenal. Can't wait to hear the finished CD!,

Working out the vocal arrangements with Phred and Colleen.

Mixing Old School!

The week before, Drew DeFour and an amazing group of studio cats cut a live to 24 track analog (including live backing vocals!) project. We mixed through the harrison, onto Rollie Tussing's Otari MX5050 - all analogue - no digital anything - just plate reverb or tape echo, analogue compressors and eq. We're just waiting on mastering at Baseline, and then pressing up some records.
