Been working on the studio website! Added a bunch of nice photos by Vitor Sá, a releases section, an FAQ page, and new audio samples.

I'm available for both in studio and remote projects, so get in touch if you want your music to sound really good for not much money!

Great set of signs. Sadly, they could have stretched this out for several more blocks. The list of abuses grows daily.

Update: after purchasing a second set of cables, and a new (to me) Audient preamp / converter box, I have finally gotten fully up and running again 😅

Internet says 50 ohm BNC cabling is fine. Lies. Wouldn't work at all until I got 75 ohm stuff and it's still fussy. Not my favorite experience.

it's called crave because you find yourself craving a service that actually works

And jesus is there, and he's bench pressing really big weights. Jesus is a muscle monster and he makes God look like a skinny baby

That might be the one genre not on the menu 😂

Sweetwater rep calling constantly to see if you’ve broken the strap yet

Kicked off tracking for an album this week!

Which genre is it you say? It is actually all the genres

Been there. Those fluorescent lights are tough on a bad day. Always the most grating music too 😅

Repeatedly muttering “trash” as I browse craigslist and marketplace

James Ferrell (Mountainsize Audio + The Welcoming) @mountainsize.bsky.social · 7d

James Ferrell (Mountainsize Audio + The Welcoming) @mountainsize.bsky.social · 7d

Full band client session today and I was fully prepared for something to go horribly wrong but it went off without a hitch!

James Ferrell (Mountainsize Audio + The Welcoming) @mountainsize.bsky.social · 24d

Finally got everything up and running! The process wasn’t pretty and neither is the rat’s nest in the back lol.

Had to downgrade one of my units to a Behringer Ultragain to make it work, but I did some test drums and it still sounds good, especially after dialing in the Motu’s onboard EQ
