Well I don’t know that they are having problems right now so I’m gonna go see it tonight! This was also one of my first Godzilla movies, although it was the 1985 American version with Raymond Burr edited in 😆

Wait why are people boycotting Alamo?

Now if they’d just add a Mix control it would have everything!

Great vid! I still can’t quit CompressorBank largely because of the EQ panel on the right that nobody seems to talk about. A little dynamic cut in the upper mid does wonders for smoothing out a vocal as it gets loud, since it’s based on the compression amount rather than frequency like a dynamic EQ.

Yeeterus! Love it. Good luck with everything friend ❤️

Right proper mess o’ vocal automation.

Well it’s about time! Thanks for roping me in on this one! You did a fantastic job with the artsy soundscaping :D

New release that I worked on is out in the world! Thanks Runaway Horse and @janapochop.bsky.social for bringing me in to mix the ultra vibey Mi Voz. Go have a listen!

Sennheiser 602 inside and Shure KSM353 outside (not in front of the port since it’s a ribbon)

Some death metal recording from a couple weeks ago. Drummer requested no samples be used so we had to like, actually record good sounds. Love that. It’s not my usual genre but it turned out great. #recording #recordingstudio #drums #bass #guitar

A Yamaha drum set with microphones placed for a recording session. I’m normally a LDC overheads kinda guy but for this the Shure KSM137 were perfect, and fast enough to keep up with the details.

A bass amp with a Shure KSM32 microphone in front of a speaker. Also took a DI line.

Guitar cabinet with a Royer 121 and Shure SM57 microphones. Pretty common combination but it just works for me, consistently, and I can adjust the placement and blend for the sound I want.

Some highlights from the Hands Off protest in Austin, TX today:

Yeah, I think so too, but boy does it feel like we are being ignored. Certainly Trump won’t give a shit.

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

I’m going, but I have zero faith that we will be listened to. Not by Democrats, and certainly not by Republicans.

Decided to start reading The Call of Cthulhu on Hoopla because eldritch horror seems like a pleasant escape from reality.

When there’s an especially loud vehicle I like to yell after them “Sorry about your penis!”

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

I like open world too, but it feels a little silly, particularly for a track racing game. Maybe we can make the next Smash Bros open world too 😜

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

I think it’s hilarious that they have taken the success of Zelda open world approach to mean everything should be open world. DK? Go anywhere! Climb anything! Smash anything! Dig anywhere! Mario Kart? Drive anywhere off course! Drive to another course! We heard you like open world!

Maybe our humanity and our empathy comes from having at least a little bit of struggle. They just never had to be part of humanity.

Someone drew another swastika on a lamp in my neighborhood so we turned it into a game of tic tac toe. Forgot to get a before picture but you don’t want to see that filth anyway. (This was before April Fool’s Day so it wasn’t a joke.) Welcome back to Trump’s America.

Task for Gen Z: If “Ohio” means something is average or boring, I need you to start using “Texas” to mean stupid or asinine, especially intentionally. I’d do it myself but as a millennial my sway on pop culture is zero.

Gotcha. Back to regular old atheism then!

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Yeah at least the Satanic Temple is. They use Satan as a symbol for standing up to church oppression, but they don’t worship or believe in a literal Satan.

There were so many more, but we got those and we can all remember one of the best songwriting mentors to walk the Hill Country. Still think about you all the time old friend.

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

So I’m doing it now, finally. We released a couple songs as a preview on the anniversary, and I’ll have the rest soon. They aren’t fancy or produced recordings, and you can hear that he had some better days than others, but we have twelve songs that haven’t existed for a while.

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

He knew he might not have a lot of time left, and so did we. I regret that it’s taken a decade to get back to these, but, well, life you know. It was too raw at first, and then time just runs off.

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

I’m finally getting to one of the most meaningful projects I’ve done. I cannot believe ten years have gone by, but Kent Finlay left us on March 2, 2015. In February just before that, he asked me, Big John Mills, and Gregg Andrews to come out to his house and record his stack of unrecorded songs.

Actually it looks like Tidal has reduced their price to be about the same as Apple and Spotify! Might be time to hop back on it.

000

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

One thing I miss about Tidal is that you can search by credit. So like, want to look up stuff done by a producer? A mixer? A bassist? You can do that. The downside is they have to have the credits actually listed, which somehow even major labels are terrible at doing.

100

Russ Tanner @audiosauruss.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Yes! Tidal is really good. I’ve jumped between it and Apple a bit. Currently on Apple just for budget but I kind of like the Tidal app better I think.

if you're reading this 50 years from now I need you to know that this series of world events isn't as dumb as it probably seems, it's actually much, much dumber than you can possibly imagine

This has been sitting on my shelf for years and I guess it’s time I read it. And holy hell, right from the start, the rise of the Nazi party and Bolsheviks is *exactly* what the Trump/Musk party is doing now.

Watched The Producers tonight and it feels nostalgic to remember a time when Nazis were universally maligned.

The only thing that will get me through the next four years is good music. Took my dad to see David Gray last night, one of our faves. His new record is lovely and poetic. A real songwriter’s songwriter.

🤣 That is perfectly ok! Enjoy the dopamine! She can be surprised later when she finds out you’re a celebrity after liking you for you. Fifty thumbs up 👍
