Look ma, I made the papers! Big shout out to Jesse Angelino for a nice write up about the studio’s history. Find it at Porcupine Soup, link in bio! Hear how Dave Coit and I kicked it off back in 2008 in @cathaliciousss ’s basement, @jon_hildy almost got stuck with me in Woodstock, @lindsmariwe REALLY got stuck with me in Catskill and @morganelizabethpianomusic maybe named the studio? We actually can’t exactly remember but we’re happy it happened. #analogrecording #porcupinesoup

Record your next record to tape at Basement Floods Records in Catskill, NY. “It's Raining" by Naomi Neville/Irma Thomas. This track was recorded over two rainy days here at Basement Floods Records. All tracks were recorded with a single #echolette D12 Microphone. Vocals, guitar and drums through a Gates sa70tube mic pre from @bigtonerecords , everything else through a @seventhcircleaudio A12. Each track was kissed/squashed with an @audioscapeaudio Opto Comp and the mix got dressed up for the dance with a #Univox spring reverb and #tascam32 tape delay. #analogrecording #tascamm600 #tascamtsr8

Ok loyal fans, quick video undermining the $$ spent on gear and years I’ve spent researching drum recording techniques. Tag an engineer or drummer who needs this. Engineering goal 2026 - less EQ more IQ. #dumb #aljacksonjr

In this episode we take an extremely shallow dive into the wonderful world of #tapedelay Utilizing the trusty #tascam32 2 track I found in a pile of garbage in NYC in 2009. Any tape machine with three heads (erase, sync, repro) and the ability to monitor the repro head can be used as a tape delay. This is not the classic 7.5 ips slap back sound, but instead 15 ips with the pitch control at -15%, one of my favorite vocal delay sounds. Almost small roomy, but almost slapbacky. Fully cool. #analogplugin #tapemachine #reeltoreel
