Spent all week with Malaria. Great guys. We are doing 8 tracks with them and are smack dab in the middle of mixing the project. Our week ended on a scary note as Ben(killer bass player) got into a wreck with his car. Hes doing well though no injuries. They describe themselves as "Metal Rock" with influences from all over the musical spectrum. Lots of double kick from Ian on drums and loud guitars from Matt. Lastly future US Marine Steve(vocals) finished his tracking thursday afternoon. Its be...

Had a great session with Sam Tolson and Blake Stahlhut a week ago. They put together a cover of Paramores "The Only Exception" in a few hours. It turned out nicely if I must say. Blake had a very cheap, old, yet great sounding guitar for the track. 414s did the trick for the guitar and Sam did a beautiful sounding vocal into the TLM 103 for the finishing touches. Sam wants to come back and do a few more tracks in the near future. Hope to work with both of them again.

Did the concert recording for the Toledo Symphony tonight. A lot of hard work but we captured very good sounding tracks. This was their last weekend for the season so they were really playing well. Went off without a hitch. They played along side Westgate Chapels rhythm section and choir. huge sound directed by Don Benoit and TSO conductor Chelsea Tipton II {his last weekend as resident conductor of  the TSO}.  It was easy to get lost in the music that was coming off that stage. Thats a good ...

That's the name of the 7 song Album that Alexx Sumner is going to release very soon. Paul Wise and Alexx Recorded, Mixed and Mastered it last weekend in 2 days time. It came out very hard hitting and fluid at the same time. The sound is like a techno, pop, rap, r/b mixture. Find Alexx on Myspace to hear some of the tracks.

Recorded Russell Montgomery yesterday. Great tone in his voice and a less than 24hour old Guitar from Durdels did the trick thanks to Fred. Added some production rhythm work after he left that would make you dance!  The 414s sounded exquisite.

Broadway hopeful Sara Stotz

The piano we used is a Baldwin Concert Grand that's at Westgate. It sounds amazing every time I get a chance to record it. Sar...
