Our second “Inside Sessions” comes at you from The Fred Perry Artists Lounge at Stratosphere Sound – an event we co-sponsored with Just Managing, SoundToys, Blue Microphones, Insound and Brooklyn Brewery.

See the video, featuring three of the day’s bands – Tall Ships, 1, 2, 3 and Widowspeak – and engineer Geoff Sanoff, here:

During this live recording event, Sanoff tracked seven bands (also, Caveman, Waters, Weekend and Gauntlet Hair) over eight hours at Stratosphere, and mixed the best recordings by each band in the days following.

Matt Shane mastered the material for an Insound digital mixtape you should download today. The mixtape also features interviews with the bands by the hilarious David Rees. Click to download.

Thanks to our sponsors! Sanoff used Blue Microphones’ Dragonfly, Reactor, Woodpecker and Mouse mics on drums, Vox and AC30 amps, and glockenspiel. Blue encore 200 or 300 mics captured all the vocals. SoundToys EchoBoy, Decaptitator and FilterFreak plug-ins were instrumental in the mixing of these tracks.
