Also a big thank you to my buddy Mike V. (Young Lion Apprentice) who [...]

Audible pt 4 - Recording & Mixing is Finished!

A history lesson…

So… Philly’s Audible invited me to help out recording an EP this summer.  We started tracking in late August at Audible’s garage practice space in Philadelphia’s Fishtown.  Tracking was done over a few days and nights and consisted of the basics…guitar, bass, and drums.  However, we tracked Mike, Kris, and Steve [...]
