Here's a little heads up for all my musical peoples. I began an internship at London Bridge Studios a little over a month ago, and things have been going very well. In addition to assisting some killer producers like Phil Ek, Kelly Gray, Matt Shaw, Aaron Sprinkle, Rick Parasher, Jeff Ott and Jonathan Plum, I have been running sessions, and have gotten killer tones recording there. I want to start using London Bridge in sessions with my bands. Any takers? Analog truly is warmer, and London Bridge has a killer Neve from 1971. It just doesn't get much better than that. Throw in one of the best live rooms in the world (think BIG beautiful drums), your music could sound better than ever.

Here is what I propose. Pre-production here at Soul Kitchen. Record Drums and whatever else the budget allows at London Bridge (think acoustic instruments). Record everything else, edit and do good rough mixes here at Soul Kitchen. Finish final mixing here or at London Bridge...mmmmm, smell the analog. For those of you who were scared off by my mainly digital set up, we have options now with London Bridge in the picture. 2" 24 track Tape? London Bridge. I can't think of a better way to go, can you?

Let me know if you have any questions!

Talk to you soon
