It was Victor's birthday today. One of my true buddies and I wanted to honor him by playing his album. Happy birthday friend.
I met Victor (V or Stallion to some) when he was in a band I recorded. He was the bass player of this band and after we recorded several songs, he asked me to engineer his solo project. I happily agreed. That project started in early 2004 and finished...in 2007. During that time, Victor and I recorded, mixed and mastered at:
- Oarfin Records studio B (3 of the songs were tracked and mixed there)
- A440 Studios (mixing and mastering)
- The Hideaway Studio (tracking and mixing)
- Victor's practice space (tracking)
- My bedroom on Clinton Ave South (editing and mixing)
I was happy he was able to complete the album. It's a great look back at my early engineering career. Some of the songs turned out really well, some I can hear my naivete. Victor is a great songwriter and a great person to work with. Those sessions were filled with big laughs and big sarcasm. I'm looking forward to listening to his former/sorta former band's album soon.
(Shout out goes to Clint for drumming on the album)
