Catching Up!

Lots of catching up to do...

Willamena
finished mixing their new CD. Congrats Chris Newman on the new baby! Megan Dooley finished and released her new CD. Bill Hart is moving forward with overdubs and touch-ups. We did a little editing for Leslie Graham from the WMU Synchronized Skating Team. Mark Maire (HEWG) track a new song a couple of months ago. The Waterladies have been tracking new songs for their project. Digital Imaging technology extraordinaire Pascal Cotte arrived at Broadside - direct from Paris (France, not Michigan) to work on voice-overs for his documentary. We were contacted by his production company in L.A. to set-up the session. The documentary is set to air on a number of public and cable channels soon. Pascal was in Kalamazoo to fix a camera at WMU. Take a look at his site - interesting guy.

We picked-up a few pieces of gear last month. New power amp, studio monitors, a couple of effect processors, spare DAT machine. THANKS BRENT!

We would like to welcome Gary Marshall to our intern program through Recording Connection. Gary started classes last month and seems to pick things up quickly.

Busy March

March has been a busy month in the studio...

We've also been booking time for our contest winners (drawing for 3 free hours). We gave away over $450 of recording time in March. In Custody, Mk Ultra Culkin, Wishek and Against All Kings were a few of the winners.

Jeff Till and Mike Roche "discussing" the mix in the old barn in 1999. Jeff was in Kalamazoo recording a TASM LAB production that involved, well, pretty much all of our friends. One of my fav photos.

Randy Thunderbird In the Studio

Randy Thunderbird tracked 12 songs on January 3rd. They used-up a Broadside Gift Certificate that they've been holding on to for a while. After the session, we burned a DVD copy of the tracks for them to take home and work on vocals. They'll be back to mix at a later date.
