G.R.I.T.S in the studio.




Got a call from my longtime friend Dave Palmer to take some studio shots of hip hop duo: G.R.I.T.S. Having met the guys before, I was glad to do it. Here's a couple of shots I liked. You can see them in higher res here:

Which I'd like you to do, since they look very nice blown up. It has come to my attention that many of you aren't clicking through to the links, including people in my own band. Yesterday Melissa and Tricia were both surprised to see the Cartoon Network panorama for the first time, so don't ignore the links! Good things happen to those who click through.

These were shot in TobyMac's studio, which was formerly a mexican joint called "on the border". I was one of the first people to mix there right after it became a studio (before toby owned it) and we kept getting interrupted by people who wanted a burrito. One lady in particular stood in the lobby with her daughter insisting that we seat her even after we told her it was a studio.

In the background of the shot, they're using auralex panels to cut reflection. A much cheaper and more effective way to do that is 703 fiberglass panels wrapped in speaker grill cloth. We'll have a tutorial on making those as soon as I get a chance.
