 Straight to vinyl that's something that's a little definitely different something. I never even thought existed honestly It's just a little nerve-wracking thinking that it's gonna be one take. I can't wait. It sounds like it'd be incredible So we're essentially making a record right on the spot literally a record once it's recorded once it's performed It's set in stone and what you hear on these records is exactly what happened on the floor So what we're doing is we're bypassing the multi tracking process We're taking those eight microphones bring them into the board and then immediately bringing them out of the console And they go straight to something called a lathe What a lathe is this is a machine that cuts a lacquer and a lacquer is your thing you press to make vinyl They'll never be a more charismatic way to record anything period It's it's really lush and it's it's art to watch it and to play it It's watching a show you're talking about some of the first hip-hop songs and was it sugarhoe gang Like one of the first songs they did it's like 14 minute song like all one take good. I'm chillin I didn't even know that was a thing like people did that. Yeah, they're just working up the tune now. So a word work Today was the first time I really actually been able to interact with him and hang out It was super nice guy and just good vibes good energy if he can rap to anything apparently We're going with good people makes the best music for sure when I first heard him It was electronic music and I was something very different. That wasn't my style that I wasn't used to So I walked in I was like it's a live band. I was like, yes game time game time I love live music live music. You could feel the soul. You could feel the soul through the speakers Everybody contributing everybody has something to contribute from they saw to be able to come in here and rehearse with Musicians who really know their stuff and we can bounce ideas off of each other. It's just incredible I see all my favorite rappers and and produces in those big studios with speakers Looks incredible. I never I never thought of being something like this This was originally Sound City Studios Over the years, I'd say some of the more notable records are Tom Petty's damn the torpedoes Nirvana's Never Mind the first Rage record cheap tricks worked here nine-inch nails Johnny Cash Evil Knievel made a record here. That was kind of cool. This goes on and on For the most part we kept the original design and shape of all the rooms the sonic integrity of the studio is the same So I don't think it's gonna be that different than what you experienced yesterday. Obviously, it's a different room Yeah, it's gonna be a little drier, but I would love to get the the room volume level as low as possible. So obviously the playback The lighter you can play but without losing intensity will run through until you guys are completely comfortable with what you're doing I don't want to discourage improvisation But I would get everybody get their part and stick to it every time so these guys know exactly what to expect, right? From there. I don't know Sounds good Can we grab a little acapella from you just to hear a level? Yeah. Yeah, no doubt Smooth groove steadily tuned heavy never refused plenty of soothing amusing music Methods to a nightmare and Afro fight fair and battle is a way that you give them some top in the mind slow Temple so monumental continental caught the pencil won't par with the cause of the longer mental. There it is Should we do full band and see what it sounds like So on this particular section Everybody's jumping on it really hard like somebody's got to leave space We need to create some definition in that. Yeah, I love the energy of it going double time But as a as a group you guys got to figure out Who's going like everybody's jumping on right now? You have to really be on your toes and really know what you're doing and Really have a vision of what you're going for. Yeah, I was gonna say can we can we just try one without Where it's just base and then do the common sponsoring for the second eight? Because knowing that you have to get it right right there. There's no turning back. There's no fixing There's no any of that stuff Whatever the note is middle up middle and then down on the second one. I just got to mute it Even if you just did like boom boom boom boom like, you know what I mean You guys mind if we run it once more. Oh, yeah, I didn't even get to do the third one Because you're not multi-tracking you're not mixing later You're going straight to this lacquer and it just has a very unique specific sound But I think the bigger effect is what it does to the musicians and the people performing and when you're kind of put on the Spot right there and it's live. There's a certain amount of energy and angst and nervousness that happens And I actually think it's really good for the music. I think direct-to-disc brings that energy Back into the recordings All right, we're quiet in the room. This is the audio start this and And the audio start will be there The engineer who's performing the console if you will is doing exactly that He's working it like an instrument and it's as much of a performance as what's going on in the room With the instruments themselves The engineers going to send a certain level if something happens and they exceed it It could blow a fuse because it's very sensitive to displacement because you're taking audio and turning into mechanical energy All this stuff has to happen perfectly for the record to come out the right way it's pretty intense How everybody feeling here So good to me good to me cool Right there, right? I came in here with the song on my laptop and now we're expanding it. I Don't even know what to expect like I'm excited to hear what sounds like That's why these places are so infamous because it gives it that character that you can't get anywhere else Everybody everywhere coming in and it just comes as one makes the song without this guy What didn't sound the same without this guy wouldn't sound the same so when everybody gets together sound crap
