Foreigner

Here's me with Foreigner. I recorded a couple days worth of overdubs for their upcoming acoustic/unplugged album. The new bass player, Jeff Pilson, was the producer on the session and was great to work with. He was in Dio, and was the bass player in Steel Dragon, the fictional band in the Mark Wahlberg vehicle "Rockstar."

Edelweiss

Finished an EP with Edelweiss. Great, talented kids. Even if they call me Uncle J-Bag.

I'll post the tracks in a few days.

Yes, I'm the short one.

The Best Thing by Alana Kessler

Just finished this song with Alana Kessler, a singer and songwriter I've known for quite some time. She hasn't done serious recording in a few years and I was thrilled when she came back to me looking to record. Here's what we came up with:
 
Produced, mixed, engineered by Jeremy Sklarsky 
at Threshold Recording Studios NYC

Enjoy!

In addition to writing songs and singing, Alana is also a Yoga teacher and the owner of Sangha Yoga Shala in Williamsburg. Check it out.

Threshold Studios - New Plugins and gear

I got some new Waves plugins recently and I have been really enjoying them. The top of the heap is the CLA Classic Compressors, featuring software models of Chris Lord-Alge's both blue and black 1176's, an LA-2A, and LA-3A. They sound quite excellent. Since I can't afford a rack of eight 1176's, I will certainly settle for these guys. A blue 1176 followed by the LA-2A makes for an excellent vocal chain.


Threshold Studios, my homebase for recording, producing, and mixing, also upgraded its Waves bundle. The updated bundle includes the Neve modeled V-Series. The clear winner here is the VEQ3, which is a model of the Neve 1073 EQ module. 


The timing of the upgrade was both coincidental and serendipitous. Just a week prior we added two Neve 1073 LB preamps to our 500 series rack. These are some of the best bang for the buck pre's out there.

So between the Compressors, the SSL bundle, and the Neve bundle (plus, ya know, some real hardware API and Daking EQ's, 1176's, and Summit, DBX, and Daking Compressors) the mix room is coming together nicely.
