Happy New Year Everyone!

New Year, New Studio

2012 was a very productive year! A lot of very talented musicians came through the doors and created some very cool music. We’ll have more on some of these releases in the next couple of weeks but look below for a few links!

The biggest news of 2012 was the building of the brand new studio! The first wall went up on October 6, 2012 and we’re happy to say that the new Ultimate Rhythm Studios is open for business! We’ll get some more detailed posts of the build up in the next couple of weeks as well. Here’s a before and after just to give you an idea.

Mike Avenaim Tracking Drums

Mike Avenaim Tracking Drums

Mike Avenaim was at Ultimate Rhythm Studios last week recording 11 tracks for Jordan Millar’s upcoming album. In 3 days not only were 11 tracks recorded but two entirely different kits were used, two entirely different sets of tom toms were used, 10 snare drums were used, two different mic setups were used as well as recording shakers, tambourine, hand claps and marching snares.

 
 

“Mike had a very specific idea of what he wanted his drums to sound like for each song. From an engineer’s standpoint that’s a lot of fun because we aren’t just trying to capture a drum sound. We’re capturing the sonic landscape that the rest of the album will be built around. Mike did a fantastic job!” says engineer Charlie Waymire.

Check out Jordan Millar and Mike Avenaim on Facebook and enjoy a few photos from the session below.
