Congrats to Young General, Rick Rude, Letter L and the rest of the crew at Let’s Get It records on another batch of hot songs currently being mixed and mastered at Horse-Drawn Productions. Rob and the gang are off to play some showcases in sunny California this weekend. With new singles such as “Work” and “Going Places” featuring amazing singer, Wade Soul this is sure to be another round of killer hits. We tracked Young General’s voice with a Lawson L47, an Avalon 737sp and a Crane Song compressor.
I used a combination of the same Crane Song and Avalon equalizers to master 9 cuts for Young General. We like the songs hot and crispy like our French Fries here at Horse-Drawn so we pulled all the stops and turned it up to 13!!!
You can check out Young General this Saturday, July 24th 2010 at the Cat Club 8911 W. Sunset Blvd Hollywood, CA. Bring Your Self. You can reach him at www.facebook.com/TheYoungGeneral for booking or “general” information.
Until our paths cross again,
Farewell
John “Jackson” Bomher

Great Job Kendall Braun, Young General, Letter L, Mike Clay, David Dub & Loke! We have all been hard at work on new projects at HDP, and they are going great. Just finished the 5 star mix revisions, and completed over 13 songs this past weekend with the infamous Young General. We are excited to be working on such coool projects. Looking forward to starting with Greg and Nicole Caffey soon!
We’re also excited to have David Dub on board for vocal coaching and production assistance. He’s a tough worker. Check out his own music, too!

Last night was one of our best clinics to date. Thanks to everyone who attended. It was great to have Joe back in Chicago to perform, and he killed on many different tracks, styles and feels, and showcased many talented writers in his performance, including several works produced by Horse-Drawn. Joe has been a wonderful session musician over the years, and we were happy to host his first clinic. He continues on to Germany and other countries through December giving clinics sponsored by his endorsers. Many goodies were given away, including a 3 hour studio package deal by HDP. Great success, and great job to everyone involved. Joe is staying in town for a few days and will be laying down some session parts before he heads back to Atlanta for a little R & R before going back on tour. Stay tuned for the next clinic on Aug 2 – featuring Eric Nelson Yoder: tips and tools with Pro Tools.

A few weeks ago Jackson mixed the new Heavy Manners album, and Eric mastered it. They had a great time, and now Heavy Manners is having their listening party at the Elbo room this Sunday evening. If you remember them from the 80′s you know they are awesome!! They managed to bypass the entire cd de-evolution and go straight from vinyl to digital downloads!! Great stuff Guys!
Also – next HDP clinic is Monday July 5th with Drummer Joe Williams. He’s fresh off tour with Justin Bieber and Monica. We have known Joe for years and are very excited. There will be a ton of product giveaways from his sponsors as well as Horse-Drawn. The party, I mean clinic, starts at 7pm.

Live Room / Classroom / Control Room A
There was a recent article published in MIX magazine this week featuring Horse-Drawn and several other studios around the country. The article features studio designs for several functions, and how it works for us. There is a cool pic posted in the article of our live room, classroom, and control room, and how they interact with each other. The interview with Eric Nelson Yoder not only discussed his studio design of the facility, but also the diversification of the modern recording studio, which may post in an article in the near future. Stay tuned for more exciting horse-news!!! See the article here:
