Many moons ago myself and @martinsmith7994 made a little duo recording at @thelightningcave with @t.p.benson . It was a really fun session and I think the music came out well. As with all things it's been sat on while I figure out what to do with it so I thought I'd post a track off it for fun.
This is our rendition of the Fats Waller classic Jitterbug Waltz.
Martin Smith: Flugelhorn

Really enjoying mastering this beautiful LP by @baabak_mirsalari
I recently figured out it'd be lovely to try mid-side mastering, but didn't want to do it in the box as the ethos of the studio is to get out of the box as much as possible. This works really well. The Tubetech EQ and Compression on the Mid is amazing, and the Tegeler Creme is very subtle and crispy for the sides processing.
Also the @pmcspeakers are absolutely essential to this setup. Really getting to know them and trusting them for mastering has been very valuable.
