Excello Recording

Guess we passed a torch today when I sold this Tascam MSR 16S 1/2” machine to these fellows. They sounded like production partners and had been working at home on a Teac 8 track. I can happily say that their home studio just got a massive upgrade and I hope they treat the machine appropriately, make some great productions and learn a lot! FYI - we still have a 1/2” 16trk machine at the studio.

Some guitar amps at the shop. Each of these sound great but the Fender Pro Reverb at bottom middle is special to me. I found that at a pawn shop in Pittsburgh 40 years ago. I’d just relocated to NYC and was sleeping on the floor of a studio apartment share up by Columbia University. The Pittsburgh Pawnshop offered “lay-away” purchasing and I sent the owner the money ($20 bucks at a time). The next year during my Christmas visit to mom & pop, I went and picked the amp up. They owner had moved it to the basement and had noted the amount and date of each of my Mail-in payments on the last-away tag. $225 bucks! Sounds great and makes me smile! ps - that’s this amp in the track.

Had a really fun tracking experience with these talented folks! are a serious Power Pop group and that’s their track, Split Screen playing. The record is out! Are you partying this weekend? …painting the house? …driving somewhere? Go ahead and stick this into your listening!! Thanks to all!
