It’s now week 5 at Harman. I’ve been doing a lot of various different things, but mostly the same types of material that I mentioned in my last post. I’m mostly working with audio clips for the marketing team. I record samples from different guitar pedals, effects processors, and mic preamps which will be posted on YouTube in the near future. All of the guitar pedal audio is on DigiTech’s soundcloud. I’ve also been managing their Instagram account which has been interesting. Since I became in charge of it we’ve gained nearly 400 followers which is kinda cool.<\/p>\n
Last week I went to the company’s warehouse to grab a drum set that they had in storage. The bad news is it’s missing a lot of pieces and we don’t have any cymbals, but the good news is it’s a really nice Pearl kit. One of my bosses wants me to use a full mic setup on the kit and record a bunch of audio samples with the dbx 676 mic preamp. The 676 is one of dbx’s (another company managed by Harman) flagship rack units. It’s an amazing mic preamp and it’s been cool to work with physical units instead of doing everything in the box. I made a list of what the drum kit needs to be record-able, and once the order comes in I’ll be recording as much as I can on the kit. I’m incredibly excited for this because recording drums is something I don’t have too much experience in. In high school I played drums in a band for a couple years and we used drum mics, so I know how to mic a kit, I just don’t have as much experience with drums in a studio setting. The plan is to post all of these audio clips along with some videos online.<\/p>\n
So far it’s been an interesting summer, but I look forward to future projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
