    Jim O’Rourke (Wilco, Sonic Youth, Jim O'Rourke) Jim O’Rourke (Wilco, Sonic Youth, Jim O'Rourke) on the @manleylabs Massive Passive: “I call them the solid-gold machines. The Massive Passive shapes things the way you want it. It's very accurate, but it's musical. It doesn't sound surgical to me.”  Tom Elmhirst (David Bowie, Adele) on the Manley Vari-Mu: "The Manley (Variable Mu) compressor over the mix, I’d struggle without that. Manleys make a mix sound like those old records — when the vocal goes away — back comes the music, and I love that. You can tuck the vocal in the track a bit more."  Made in Chino, California.

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and indie-pop artist Lana Winterhalt delivers enigmatic and layered compositions inspired by junky breakups, insomnia, and true love, all in an attempt to leave you feeling sparkly and weightless.  Whether it be her vocals that float effortlessly with warm restraint or playful pop melodies featured on her debut full-length album If & When (2018), Winterhalt is experimental and bold yet warm and familiar.  After releasing 3 unique projects over the course of the pandemic, signing with @highpriestesspub forming the @gpproducersclub and participating in the Women in the Studio National Accelerator 2021, Lana is ready to bring her perfected sound of grandiose harmonies and dusty guitars to fresh ears all across Canada and beyond.  When it comes to producing music, Lana loves to take her creative cues from the piece of music in its natural context, utilizing found sounds such as birds chirping or wind blowing in the trees and manipulating them in a myriad of ways to highlight the personality of a song. Lana doesn't just hear the song, but sees it visually, packing a track full of visceral layers that help listeners truly experience a song.  The Good + Plenty Producer's Club is a space for women and gender diverse producers and audio engineers to learn, share, encourage, and grow.

Expanding beyond just Manitoba, Lana is the host of the Good + Plenty Producer's Club podcast, interviewing women and gender diverse producers and audio engineers across Canada to discuss how they got into the industry, any obstacles they've faced, and what encouragement they would offer to the next generation of up and coming audio nerds.  The Good + Plenty Producer's Club seeks to be a safe place for gender minorities to network by sharing knowledge, encouraging, providing resources, and supporting one another, and mentoring the next generation of up-and-coming music producers.

    Our Artist of the Week is Damian Kearns of 217audi Our Artist of the Week is Damian Kearns of 217audio.com. Damian has been a Post Production Audio Engineer for more than 27 years, having started out at Dome Audio (formerly Sounds Interchange) in 1995, then deluxe Toronto, on to Pinewood Sound, Vancouver before settling in the post production audio department at CBC Toronto, from 1997 until 2013. In 2013, Damian started his freelance career and invested in a 5.1 home-based studio.  Nine years into this career phase, Damian now has two Pro Tools rigs, writes for www.pro-tools-expert.com, and has numerous tv, film, internet, advertising and corporate projects under his belt. He just finished work on a podcast series called “The Other Path” for The Odyssey Theatre, as well as six episodes of Fear Thy Neighbour for Discovery+.  Damian started at Dome Audio in 1995, working as a post audio assistant, laying up tracks and printing to a variety of video and audio tape formats on shows like Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. Moving to deluxe Toronto, he had an epiphany while working with Deepa Mehta on her film “Fire”: Post Audio was what he wanted to do with his life.  He moved to Vancouver for a year to work at Pinewood Sound. Damian was tasked with functioning in a variety of capacities, from ADR and Foley assisting (shows like X-Files) to dialogue and SFX editing, whilst maintaining his seat in the mix theatre next to the facility’s lead mixer.  After a year, Damian moved back to Toronto and was hired by CBC to work in their post production department. He would mix The Fifth Estate, as well as hundreds of sports shows, documentaries, news and current affairs shows, commercials, three Olympic Games, Pan-Am and Commonwealth Games, children’s programming and assist large music recording dates. He mixed Air Farce when they went 5.1 and other projects.  His nine years of freelancing have been eventful and packed with gigs for a long list of clients.  Damian has worked extensively behind the scenes, beta testing for companies such as iZotope, Waves, Euphonix, Dolby, Townsend Labs and others.  Damian’s spare time is spent with his family, his music collection, or sitting outside on a chair staring off into space.

    "As you turn it (Mojo knob) up further, you do sta "As you turn it (Mojo knob) up further, you do start to get a slightly fatter lower frequency feel as well, but that is secondary to the mid and high harmonics. Cranking this control to extremes really starts to bring in a good deal of compression and harmonics and can be useful to punch up less than ideal guitar tones. It is not a distortion or gain box, but the harmonic content can definitely make electric guitar tones more interesting."  @tapeopmag have an excellent review of the @cranborneaudio CAMDEN500 500 Series Preamp and Signal Processor.

    #TBT Over the past year we've challenged some ar #TBT  Over the past year we've challenged some artists we like to write and record a song with a limited set of tools - a @uaudio Apollo (and plug-ins), @modalelectronics synth, and either a @royerlabs mic or a @mojaveaudio mic.  This challenge has led to new directions for the artists and yielded exciting and surprising results - music that is outside of what they may normally do when they are armed with a wider palette of sounds and recording tools.  @andyshauf, @beatchildmusic, @graham_c_walsh, @sarahmacdougallmusic, @3oclocktrain, @joshuavt and James Bunton were all up for the challenge, and @exclaimdotca wrote about their results and host the track.  @4130mastering mastered all the tracks, using only UAD plug-ins, eschewing his outboard gear.

    @soundonsoundmag has some VERY kind words on the n @soundonsoundmag has some VERY kind words on the new @uaudio UAFX pedals - link in bio!  "UA’s Dream ’65 Reverb‑Amp is capable of some of the finest, most detailed and, above all, most playable emulations of a recorded amp sound I’ve ever heard. There’s proper tube‑rectifier ‘sag’ like I have never felt before in a modeller. The guitar’s controls behave properly, and the clean tones have real life and sparkle like they should, not the ‘generic clean tone’ that some modellers seem to resort to when there’s no obvious distortion component. If you can’t find anything in there that makes you very happy, maybe you just don’t like Fender amps."  "Like the Dream ’65, the Ruby Vox has glorious tube‑rectifier ‘bounce’ that makes playing feel so much more like a real amp than a modeller."  "The Woodrow ’55 really is a delightful little amp, full of nuances and historic tonal references. If you are auditioning this one, be sure to spend some time in the ‘cleans’, juggling the two volumes. There’s so much that’s great in there, with humbuckers and singles alike, and I’m convinced that the dynamic speaker‑modelling process gives you something in the clean tones that IRs, even really good ones, just can’t."

Lisa is a Toronto based award-winning multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer & engineer. Perpetually busy, we asked Lisa what she's been up to, in her own words:  "I had the privilege to record the vocals & some acoustic instruments for @alyshabrilla's stunning new album 'Circle' - scheduled for summer 2022 release but single 'Echo' and 'Peace' are out now. Currently I'm working as producer, recording & mix engineer on debut EP for MoZaic; upcoming singles for Andrea Florian and Coraline James and EP for @kristabourette. Also, ongoing composing and recording supportive underscore for Bedtracks.com.  Throughout the month of June I've been having a soulful songwriter experiences mentoring a Covenant House youth via Project Humanity program and co-writing with an 81 year old woman as part of Massey & Roy Thompson Halls' Lyrics & Legacies program - looking forward to producing the track at @revolutionrecording at end of month.  Also been having a blast coordinating inclusive song camps (3 down and more to come) for S.A.C. and am super pumped about the highest ever number of female, gender diverse and IBPOC receiving Juno 2022 noms & wins. Shout out to @hillkourkoutis for knocking it out of the park!  Exciting announcement: over past year I've been developing a one of a kind Artist Development program offering experience & skills in songwriting; sound production; finding artistic signature & career building. My vision was emboldened by thumbs up from icon Producer/Engineer Susan Rogers (Prince; David Byrne; BNL) who told me, "Great idea - producers are now more responsible than ever before for doing the work of artist development".  The program officially launches this Saturday (June 18) at 3pm, with a live showcase at @supermkttoronto in Toronto, featuring 3 exceptional next generation artists who create well-crafted, insightful original songs elevated by distinctive vocals. Performances are coordinated with their single releases which were written and recorded at my new LPM studio".  For more on Lisa, link in bio!
