….that I would like a tune like this. It feels a lot like early ‘punk’ music – with a country tint. I’m a sucker for songs that don’t feel over produced. Strangely enough it actually takes a pretty good producer to get them that way.
Oh yeah…..and simple harmonies.
….and a scronky guitar noise break.
Discussing re-tuning monitors, pink noise, and frequencies.
Sorry it is late… having to now deal with another tech issue – more fodder for In the Studio. 
Saw these guys on Letterman and just had to share it. At this point there may be nothing really ‘new’ or ‘original’ in the world of rock and roll. So what. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of good stuff going on. At ChurchHouse we enjoy and record a lot of different styles – and try to share what we find on this blog as well as info on studio tech, the music business, art and whatever else floats our happy little boat. Watching this made me feel that balls to the wall badassery is alive and well. It’s one thing to do it in the studio but pulling it off live with a classic four person rock lineup…….

How many of you have looked at CDs of older material and saw that they are labeled as ‘remastered’ or ‘digitally remastered’? I know when I first started seeing this, I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant. I understood the mastering process, but ‘remastered’? I’ve attached below a Wall Street Journal article that gives a short and relatively simple explanation:
When ChurchHouse Productions studio first began doing business, we used to send our completed mixes out to be mastered at other studios. This can be quite an expensive proposition. We now do all this work in house. Our mastering capabilities were greatly enhanced when our ‘Master Of Mastering’ (and all other things recording) Barett Krause joined the fold at ChurchHouse. He sent this link to me and I wanted to share it with you.
‘Tis the season to be jolly. Thought we’d throw in a little seasonal humor. There are plenty of Christmas comedy routines out there, but this has always been my favorite. It’s probably less known than others, but it always make me laugh (and it doesn’t drag on forever). ‘The Jagwa’ from Eddie Lawrence. Enjoy.
