Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.Ī: Typical clients of mine are full bands with real acoustic drums, guitars, bass and vocals. It's amazing how much we can learn and teach all at once. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?Ī: I have a mentor who is seasoned in old-school style live sound reinforcement, and a good friend friend at a top mastering house. I use JBL monitors, and a growing collection of outboard processors and microphones. It is a board that would normally be used for live sound but I have it routed mainly for monitoring and in a way that provides zero latency. My mix board is a Mackie which has nice clean preamps with a lot of headroom. I am linking that with a Presonus interface and an Alesis HD24.
BEAVER SQUEEZER PROFESSIONAL
I prefer to have mastering done at a mastering house mainly to get one last set of professional ears on a project before it goes public.Ī: At the heart of my studio I am running Presonus Studio One as my DAW on a quad core iMac. I like to think of mixing as enhancement only.
Then we track, overdub, then edit if and when needed. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?Ī: In addition to basic mixing techniques to enhance clarity and tonality, I also really like to create more excitement in songs by altering its overall dynamics.Ī: I like to get an idea of what my client has in mind as their end goal. Q: Can you share one music production tip?Ī: Inspire to play music as if there's no mixing, then mix as if there's no mastering. It really takes me back and reminds me of the reason I wanted to do this in the first place.Ī: Proper microphone placement and use, capturing raw performances accurately then fixing minor performance imperfections with small edits so that a listener would never be able to tell. If I had the money I'd by a dedicated skidder but for what I do $2800 is hard to beat for capital devoted to skidding.Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?Ī: I really enjoy inspiring young energetic musicians rather than seasoned veterans, because they are always overjoyed when they hear their music played back in high quality. That said, my grapple/ rake combo weighs about 1000lb (much less than the commercial options).Īs for money I have about $2800 in the implement. I looked at addingtons line and several others and I think they will work though I've not seen one I believe will hold up to the abuse like an esco or young will. It aint perfect (yet) but it works and much more fun that setting choker all the time. I've had to learn to be much more gentle with the grapple with it on the front of the cat. Consequently, I wondered if I was asking the grapple to do more than It was designed to do. However I really like to be able to heel a log, stack or reach around trees that I can do on the with the grapple mounted on the front. On the back of a tractor there won't be the movement I had mounted on the front of the loader. Right now I've just seen most of the repairs made, shortened the dampening chains and added some additional guarding to cover the flow divider. In the midst of all this I broke about 10 hoses, also from too much grapple swing. After 100 hrs of use I bent the mounting plate for one of the hydraulilc cylinders and then sheared the cylinder rod. Consequently after bending the plate I ended up strengthing the head with a 1 1/4" solid peice of steel across the grapple head.
I found that I was pushing with the front plate of the grapple head. I welded chains on each side to dampen the swing. Because I had it mounted on the front of a JD 555 loader I found that the grapple head was swinging too much. logged about 30M ft and did some fuels work. Sticks I brough the implemax and modified it by welding a rake underneath and a butt plate at the base of the arch.
