Mo and AJ came in together to work out several tracks and finish a few vocals to complete what we had previously started.  It is always a great time working with these guys.  Equal parts of talent and humor.

This month has been a blur.  I have had several sessions with my regular clients over the past couple weeks.  Those that have been in were: Octavio Tapia, Mo Carey, HB, Travis Jay, Becky Stewart, Carin Misterly, and Justified Cause.

Weekend before last I attended the AES Show in San Francisco.  That is were all of the audio guys get together to talk about the latest and greatest.  If only I had an unlimited budget!  My gear wish list got a few new additions.

I finished all 36 mixes for Mo Carey’s Instrumental project called  Area 51 Restricted Trax.  To buy them, click on the cover art below!

I just finished up the cover art for the 3 beat tapes that I am currently mixing for 757 Music Group.  They will be available for download on iTunes in about 30 days.  I will be sure to post links to them as soon as they are ready.  Take a look at what we came up with.  Ditch Road Records is officially one stop shopping for all of your music, promotion, and distribution needs!

Mo Carey was back for a session and then came back in with Kent Buckner to work on another project with him. Kent is putting out another series of audio workout regiments. He is a trainer with many celebrity clients. Obviously the guy knows his stuff… the dude is in shape! We had more fun that should be had doing VO work.

I am working with the Radical 80′s again. They have hired me to perform and record backing tracks for use in live shows. This is a lot of material to crank out in a small time, but I am going to make it happen!

Last but not least, Travis Jay was back for a full day to put the finishing touches on Travisty before we start the final vocals. Zech Williams made his first appearance on any album in this session. We added some new drum and percussion. A little late in the game for basic tracks, but this is not your normal album. The rough mixes are sounding fantastic. Get ready!

Mo Carrey has been in the studio for 6 sessions.  We have finished the first mix tape and most of the second.  The album is next.  Last night he brought in Big Ron, The Professor, and J Maro.

Travis Jay was here for a session.  The sessions are getting seriously big now.

Bud Berning brought in Jamie Drake and Sally Jaye for backing vocals on his project Black Kettle.  These girls can sing!

Kevin Pugh was in for a full day and we got a final mix for his first single to release.

Dead Letter Six was here for two consecutive sessions to record drums, bass, keys, guitars, and backing vocals.  Guitars and final vocals coming soon.

Justified Cause was in for a marathon 13 hour session.  We tracked 16 songs over two sessions with 4 guitar tracks per song.  Do that math!

Harlequin Bureau was here to recreate the beat behind a beautiful piano ballad that now has some great energy.

Today I just picked up a Wurlitzer organ.  I have no idea where I am going to put it, but I will find a place for it!

After the recent birth of his daughter, Mo is back with a vengeance.  He showed up with a lot of new material and an amazing amount of energy considering that he now lives with a newborn.  We have been cranking out tracks one after the other.  The mix tape project will soon be done and then on to the studio album.  Congrats on the new baby.

Mo is back again with a lot of projects.  We are going to finish up the mix tape project soon.  Next on the plate is the instrumental beats album that I will start mixing in the coming days.  During all of that we are working on his webpage.  Content is coming by the end of the week.  The new site is www.757musicgroup.com.  It begins.

Yesterday completed the third session that I have done in a week with Mo.  He is a great rap artist with some great lyrics that really puts the images in your mind.  We have already laid vocals on three complete tracks and recorded skits to be in between the tracks on this project.  I look forward to many more great sessions.  If you have not heard of this guy yet, you will before too long!
