Day 1: Extreme Room Makeover

Stephen and I (and Sam) had to accomplish quite a bit yesterday -- we relocated/rebuild/ all our equipment to a separate room since the A/C in the larger room was largely irreparable. You can check out the fruits of our labor with a very quick ditty I recorded in the isolation booth with no Equalization (just light compression and reverb).

Here's the room, including the isolation booth. It is much smaller than it looks (heh):

my (relatively) cheapo rig


a place to sit--very necessary


More to come soon!

the first day

Welcome to the Static Studio blog. I am Nathan Walker, and I have bigger hands than you.

Here we will follow the various recordings I do over the next while, featuring Samantha Crowder's up and coming EP and a later TBA EP.

Today, my long-time collaborator and bandmate Stephen Smith helped clear out our recording space (for Sam's EP) and largely built a new isolation booth! Here's a tour of what we did:




Thanks for stickin' around! More posting in a weekish.
