On Friday the 13th of January 2023, The Scenic Route performed at Jerzees in Belden Village. Their set consisted mostly of covers with a few originals included.

PreSonus PM-2 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Stereo Pair
I added a pair of PreSonus PM-2 mics to my setup as an affordable overhead mic option for tracking acoustic drums. They are small (normal for this type of mic) and lightweight which is helpful when you’re trying to balance and hold them on a boom mic stand without tipping over. These also double as […]
-
Shure SM7B Dynamic Microphone
This is a truly dynamic microphone in that it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it with ease. I mostly use this for in-studio vocals but it’s part of my drum recording setup as well. With vocals the Shure SM7B excels at capturing a warmth I haven’t been able to catch with other dynamic mics. If […]

It’s my lady’s birthday so I went and put together this track to go with her gift. I used samples and virtual instruments to create the sound.

Gator G-MIX-12 PU Pop-Up Mixer Case
I mounted my TASCAM Model 16 mixer into this case to protect it when goodsoundwaves records on location, mostly for the gsw Sessions podcast.

I use this with my MIDI controllers such as the AKAI MPK249 or the Nektar Impact LX88+ to create convincing piano tracks for in-studio recording. The controls allow you to change the reverb from near zero to a […]
