Guitar, Amps, and a Big Pedalboard
Posted on 31. Jul, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
That’s what you get when you beg/borrow, steal a bunch of your friends’ amps and guitars in order to find the perfect tones. In the last couple of weeks we started recording all the guitar parts for the “Shiny Shiny Black” project, and it’s been a lot of, er, fun! We first recorded Speedy (Anna) Pasquarello playing [...]
Deadlite Redemption Weighs In
Posted on 20. Jul, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
Saturday, June 8, Jessi Maule, Vic Badillo, and the rest of “Deadlite Redemption” rolled in to record a no-holds-barred 3-song EP for the summer. As you can see, it’s a true “live in the studio” recording, with Jesse’s live vocals used only as a double for his actual vocals (which we overdubbed), or in a [...]
Shiny Shiny Black
Posted on 30. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
Yup–that’s the name of my old and dear friend Nate Butler’s band, and that’s who I just started working with today. I’ve known Nate since he was a little non-shaver, and he has simply arrived at a musical point that demands attention!!! Well, maybe not attention, but at least some more gigs. They’ve asked me [...]
Blast from the not-too-distant past.
Posted on 21. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
I was rendering some mp3′s today when I spied with my little eye one of the many Grave Robber folders in the “TBush Recording folder. I hadn’t listened to this stuff in a long time, and I got the biggest ear-to-ear as I listened to “Tell-Tale Heart” from their 2009 CD Inner Sanctum. It’s got [...]
Stuff Breaks–Deal With It.
Posted on 20. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
Yes–”stuff” does indeed break. As related in my previous post, my old APC back-up died. I thought it was time to replace the batteries, but apparently these “Back-UPS XS” units are notorious for randomly going into overload mode (with nothing plugged in), and there is no repair other than to replace the entire circuit board [...]
The Perfect Storm (Almost…)
Posted on 06. May, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
So, this last Saturday I was slaving away behind the mix desk, just tweaking and squeezing and getting all the extra coolness out of a song that I could, when all of a sudden, out of the blue (no pun intended), comes the infamous: “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL” BSOD! (that’s an acronym for “Blue Screen Of Death” in [...]
Combination Platter

Let’s just get this out of the way: I’ve been lax in my studio posts! Bad Tim–BAD! So here is the latest goo all mushed up and served piping hot on an old ’78: Latest projects: A stalled solo record with fiddler Marty Spiggle (let’s go, man!) Two singles recorded for the Yellow Dead Bettys- [...]
Marty Spriggle Project Ensues
Posted on 15. Jan, 2013 by Tim Bushong in News
Marty Spriggle has been a client of mine since 2004, when he came in to record his “Come and Dine” CD, and has subsequently recorded quite a few other singles. Last year, I recorded a few songs as backing tracks for a cruise that he was to be playing on (careful with that seafood [...]

A Tribute to My Best Customer
Posted on 20. Dec, 2012 by Tim Bushong in News
No- it’s not Bestiary or anah aeviah or Homeless J or Sirface or even Grave Robber- no, it’s not a band per se- it’s a 76 year-old who just never stops working! John Davis gets the “why don’t you just move in” award for being the best customer of 2012. Total custom (me playing everything) [...]
