In October we attended the AES Convention in NY where some of our engineers and staff attended many seminars and lectures on the latest developments in the expanding world of immersive audio and also enjoyed the opportunity to check out the latest innovations in audio technology.
Recent project highlights have included mastering a live album by the Asbury Park based progressive Americana quartet Kül D’Sack entitled Better Than We Planned. This release is available on Bandcamp and most leading streaming services.
As fate would have it, this led to a consultation session with the uber talented multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Gary Oleyar of Sonoma Beach Studios. Gary has deep ties to the Nashville studio and songwriting scene, has performed extensively on Broadway, performed on TV with Pam Tillis, Trisha Yearwood, Kenny Chesney and Mick Fleetwood among others. He is also a veteran touring musician with Bob Seger, Loggins and Messina,and others amidst myriad additional distinguished musical achievements.
Next stop was NJ Blues rock legend Billy Hector who is working on a Dolby Atmos release for Ghetto Surf Records. Billy Hector has won the Asbury Park Music Awards “Best Guitarist”, “Best Blues Band”, “Living Legend” and “Top Classic Artist” awards. He is also a two-time winner of the East Coast Rocker’s “Best Guitarist” award, a two-time invitee to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s American Music Masters Series, a recipient of. the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation’s “Lifetime Achievement” award, a touring guitarist with Joe Louis Walker, and has been a featured artist at The Kennedy Center and Grammy Museum’s collaborative concert honoring “Lead Belly at 125” alongside Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, and Buddy Miller.
We are currently planning several events in 2025 to capture multichannel live recordings incorporating an ambisonic spatial microphone developed by our friends at Voyage Audio at a local venues for an upcoming artists for Dolby Atmos and Apple Spatial release. ( please spread the word among your musician friends about how we can provide this service for other artists and producers interested in exploring immersive audio opportunities.)
This month Andy Bova mastered vinyl for “Broken Record,” the debut Soul Selects album from LA-based artist Rachel Goodrich is available at Soul Selects Records.
In any case, as we close out this busy season, we just wanted to touch base and let our clients know what we have been up to and and how much we enjoy providing our mastering services to such an amazing community comprised of such incredible talent and cutting edge creativity.
Happy Holidaze All,
