Very much enjoyed this. Had the real pleasure of being able to sit in on part of a session for a friend’s band that Chris was recording here… probably about fifteen or so years ago. He was incredibly gracious and I found the space super inspiring. Watching this, maybe even more so. Glad to see him featured here.

He knows whats up. I have 4 of those ampex tube hifi amps Ive had since the 80s when i got them with a tape machine for $25 from a church garage sale. Ive used them pretty regularly for decades in all kind of ways. I have a couple that I just use as pre amps that i racked up and 2 with speakers still. They do rip at guitar if you drive it a little with a pedal or something.

Dan from Guelph Ontario here, I got a 2x15 version of the GBX preamp/powered cab thing that is shown around 36 min. Can confirm that it rips and is super useful for any guitarists looking to switch to fake bass via an analog octave down pedal mid song. I can also say that literally nobody ever that I have shared the amp with a)knows what to do with it and b) liked using it. It's certainly a sound worth exploring, and they are super cheap. But ya, not for the faint of heart!

I also try to get the sound of various parts in the beginning and commit to it. It’s so basic but I always record bass and drums for example with the compression and never dry. Or else the low end won’t be what it can be. Some (younger) people I know were never thought that. I also use lots of non approved gear.

Sorry, I couldn't resist poking the bear. In all honesty I place no judgment on how people enjoy their coffee. After 15 plus years of slinging the hot brown at some point I gotta realize it's just dirty water at the end of the day. In the words of the immortal Richard Simmons "Do your thing"! It's highly likely that if I still called the Midwest home I'd try to wriggle my way into being your full-time coffee pro in exchange for free play of that scintillating pinball machine. In all seriousness, your craft and the music you've helped document are greatly admired! CRUMAR KINGS UNITE!

I don't know if you know of the German Recording Artist Hainbach? I'm guessing you probably do, given the love for modular and synths etc... I imagine you could collaborate on making some fascinating music. I think you both gravitate away from the center in really interesting ways. Even some gear love overlap, with the that oscillator, niche kit collections and Nagra recorders. These types of studios interest me a lot more than the typical ones. It's more like the collection of kit a maverick solo artist would amass over 30 years.

Toledo then Cinci then Detroit, and he didn't even get murdered? Hey I saw the Whigs in Pittsburgh at Mr. Smalls! But if I go to Detroit it's for Movement!. Oh snap that Altec is like the adult version of those cool Boss mixers Alex Ball loves! 7:55 I like how he has 128U of rack gear that's ready to be taken out the back door in 30 sec. when the authorities show up. 10:45 I wanna hear a Trent Reznor / Harry Shearer (as Principal Skinner) duet of Mike Patton's God Hates a Coward through that speaker, but it needs to be produced by Crystal Method.
