In this post, I’ll walk you through a super simple 4-mic drum recording setup that delivers serious tone. Think garage rock, Motown, and lo-fi indie — somewhere between The Black Keys, early Amy Winehouse, and Anderson .Paak.

In this post, I’ll walk you through the types of mics I like to use, how placement affects the sound, and a few common mistakes to avoid when recording acoustic guitar.

This optical compressor is one of those pieces of gear that just makes everything sound better. I originally picked it up for my live guitar rig, but it's turned into a go-to in the studio for so much more. Let me show you why this pedal is such a game-changer and how I’ve been using it to take my recordings to the next level.
