It’s so great that SiriusXM believes in constant training/freshening the skills of the #radioimaging producers🎚with a legend! Rick Allen 👍🏼 Always learning!!!! Thanks Rick!!!!

“It’s a BEAR getting this mix right.”

Love my new “Pro Tools uniform!” It took me a while to “save” up for it. (2 inside jokes for audio folk. Can you think of a few more?)Command Apparel ® #protools #apple #mac #quickkeys #save #sounddesignerlife #commandsave

This is the reverb decay control on my Ecoplate hardware plate reverb! This lever adjusts a damper against the metal plate to adjust the length of the trail. Let me shorten that by 300 milliseconds…(after 20 minutes of tweaking: Forget it.Close enough 😂)#reverb #vintagegear

Fantastic Fader Friday! Shot of the faders my fingers are friendly with this Friday afternoon. API Legacy in Studio C of the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences. Always a perfect way to end the week. #faderfriday

Not what I expected. I thought it led to a really busy recording stage on the Sony Lot. 😂#postproduction #sound

Another new audio t-shirt arrived. Producer! This one from vu-label.com Thanks Paul Bahr for telling me about this site. You can never have enough silly t-shirts. #sound #recordingengineer #sounddesigner #tshirt #producer #musicproducer

Happy Halloween Month! October is here. Mixing with just a skeleton crew can be pretty scary. 🎃

Wow, I’ve been breaking things for more years than I realized. Also been working with Steve Ouimette a long time too. In show business it is customary to say “break a leg.” In the sound effects business it’s OK to say “Break anything.” #gameaudio #soundeffects #sounddesign

Setting up the Moog Theremin for some Halloween sound design. I found out it’s not easy to play a Theremin wearing a Freddie Krueger scissor glove. It got better later. 😜 #halloween #scary #theremin #moog #freddiekrueger #nightmareonelmstreet #recordingstudio #sythesizer

Trying to get them to sign a release form was the hardest part. Carefully recording the unpredictable and sometimes vicious wild Javelina. Great sounds for alien creature sound design. #wildliferecording #sound

This week’s #faderfriday features virtual faders. Mixing that #protools session from the Capitol Studios live session in the box.

Session from 5 years back. I’ve still got 2 of these left to smash. So I guess it’s “Same sh*t, different day.#soundeffects #fieldrecording #sounddesignerlife #destruction #creativity #experimentalsound #gameaudio

More time in the kitchen preparing some sonic ingredients. We’re cooking up some Minimoog maintenance. #minimoog #moog #bobmoogfoundation #vintagesynth #gearporn #gearmaintenance #recordingstudio #music #edm #musicproducer #analoggear #synthesizer

Experiments in distortion. Guitar signal out of amp and thru florescent bulb. Energy lights the bulb and adds interesting distortion. A huge tip of the hat to Sylvia Massy for her creativity and open sharing her ideas. #guitar #recordingaudio #recordingstudio #experimentalaudio

#faderfriday. Here’s a peek into Studio G at @cras_edu in the Tempe complex. Today’s faders belong to a Solid State Logic AWS console. Analog audio with deep digital control.

The “DEFAULT PRESET” on my Modular Moog. Let the patching begin. Analog hardware fun. #moog #analogsynth #sounddesign #edm #electronicmusic #dancemusic #recordingstudio #music #studiolife

In the “spirit” of Halloween, my interns have the day off. I’m working with a skeleton crew. What could we possibly be mixing? Remix of Ghost in the Machine? Your turn. GO! #Halloween

Spent a few days in Vegas capturing the sounds of professional drivers drifting around a closed course. One of my favorite rigs was this SCHOEPS Mikrofone CMC5 with an MK4 capsule (and a Light Wave Systems windscreen) into a Zoom F3.

I wanted to get some audio but as soon as I hit record, this feathered beast went completely quiet and gave me this evil stare. Bird One - Rick Zero. 😂😂. Anybody know… what is this bird? #soundeffects #scarybirdface
