Suh, dude! Three audio engineers in a row?! Yep, buckle up because the one and only Andy Patterson (Subrosa, Insect Ark, DONE) is our guest this week.
You know how we often say “this week’s episode is a real treat”, or “this was a fun one” or “this was a wild ride”? Well, there aren’t enough catchy sayings for this one. We really hit the ground running this week! Even before we started recording, this one went in some interesting places. Get ready for some laughs.
Having been in 30+ bands, and recorded at least twice that many, Andy Patterson has seen some stuff and he has stories for days. From receiving a death threat recently to a seemingly empty tent at Hellfest. And from recording Zach De La Rocha voiceovers in his LA apartment for a RATM DVD release to the corduroy hats his mom made for his entire first band, AP shares some good ones.
Stick around for:
-Clean grunge and melting
-A full re-release of Iceburn's catalog on Southern Lord
-Recording bass direct into the mixer with an Ibanez Soundgear on Hephaestus...oof
-Replacing the snare hits on an entire record with a hand "reamped" snare
-The time James Hetfield said, "I know where my dick's been. Most of the time."
-Getting his first death threat
Just a sampling of Andy’s most recent bands, and sorry, no link to his studio website, gotta have the secret password.
