Ep. 87 - Danny Reisch
Tis’ the season, y’all; this week the Buds welcome accomplished engineer, musician, studio owner, and all-around swell cat Danny Reisch to the show. Good Danny’s Studio outside of Austin is a beautiful musician’s studio that has hosted luminaries like The Zombies, The Animals, Lizzo, HAIM, 3EB, and so many more.
An “analog guy ’til I die” we talk with Danny about making deliberate choices on format/medium/microphone, spending years recording Daytrotter sessions, being inspired by Back to the Future, a recently acquired MCI tape machine from Dan Duzynski, the holy trio of firsts (a studio, weed, and Ween), dreaming about Woodstock (not necessarily but maybe 99), and windows in the control room. No spoilers, but this episode contains the secret to life somewhere around the back half. AND Dave does falsetto.
Also discussed: Hornet Plugins Freqs, Craigslisters selling more than drugs, buying an SVT from Uphill Recording Services, the new Bee Gees documentary Can You Mend a Broken Heart, BrandNewNoise’s Krankie, and the importance of Pet Sounds. We also take a moment to celebrate the life of Josh Shapera, a man the world lost too soon.
Step outside for five (even if you don’t smoke).
