Passion project that will become a business over time. Interested in all things audio, including (but not limited to) vintage equipment restoration, and recording of classical, jazz, and voiceover.

Not necessarily the tool most would reach for these days for #voiceover, but for today’s task it worked great. #RCA #ribbonmic

I recently had the privilege of recording a recital by the very talented Stacey Mastrian (staceymastrian.com) in Seattle. Here’s a sample! drive.proton.me/urls/DVMC0DX...

Latest #microphone rehab: an #RCA Varacoustic. This dates to the 1940s, most likely—an early example of the model. Only needed a good cleaning, a cable, and new grill cloths. Everything else is original, including, I think, the ribbon. It must have been used gently and stored well.

It may be an entry-level #microphone, but I like the #Neumann TLM102 for classical recording. I put up a stereo pair of 102s and a pair of #Shure KSM141s in similar positions for a soprano + piano recording. The 102s gave that “headphones become transparent” experience; 141s were more “gray” somehow

A bit about SMRCO: my background is as a nearly lifelong classical percussionist (freelance, not full time). But since childhood I've had a fascination with recording, broadcast, and all the technologies that make those things happen.

@workingclassaudio.bsky.social Matt, big fan of the pod here, new to Bluesky. I know you’re a very busy dude, but would love to see more of your posts here—not just for your content but because it would almost certainly help build up the audio community on this platform!
