    Then, Cory returned to The Long Play Listening Party today to get into the weeds about re-mastering “Pardon My Pretension, But Isn’t It Blackbeard’s Birthday” for modern listening, including on streaming platforms.

  • Tearing Down the Fight Songs Bass Rig

    …Which has been up since at least January 2020, if not December 2019.

    Signal path is:

    Tuner > big gold bypass looper (duplicates the signal) > output 1 recorded in Reaper

    Looper output 2 > Falcon Heavy Drive prototype > Wheeler Leveling Amplifier > ART Dual RDB passive transformer-based DI > recorded in Reaper

    (The production Falcon with four white knobs wasn’t used)

  • Made a Night Mode Record This Week

    Last weekend a couple of new modules for my modular case arrived – a 2hp Tune and an EricaSynths Pico VCO – and in the course of learning to use them I made a quick Night Mode record, as one does, five pieces with the modular, MS-20, and 1776 Effects Multiplex delay pedal.

    I’m using it as a reason to update the Night Mode timeline, below.

    EDIT 2021 MARCH 25: Drew reminded me of the “Murder Mountain” session. After digging around, my best guess is that we recorded this material – maybe an album’s worth, or more – on two dates in May and June 2019
