From The Control Room w/Mike Avenaim (w/video)

A few days before hitting the road with Emblem3 for their fall tour, drummer Mike Avenaim stopped by the studio for a quick interview. He talks about why he likes recording his drum tracks at Ultimate Rhythm Studios, how he prepares for sessions, how he developed his sound, and tips for drummers new to the studio. Mike has some good advice about working in the studio!

Mike has done several records with engineer Charlie Waymire at Ultimate Rhythm Studios including: Jordan Millar’s “Cold Lights On Curious Minds”, heart.beats.mind debut self-titled EP, and Reese Mastin’s “Beautiful Nightmare”, to name a few.

“Mike is a fantastic drummer and is very easy to work with. He comes in the studio very prepared and has all of his sounds pretty much dialed in. All I have to do is capture his sound without missing anything. It makes for some fun sessions!” says Charlie.

The Sonic Chameleon Sessions

Eclectic Is The Name Of The Game With The Sonic Chameleon

True diversity is hard to find in todays music business let alone in a single artist. That’s why it’s always a pleasure when The Sonic Chameleon is in the studio because you truly never know what you’ll get. From the Jazz vocal stylings of the amazing Katie Campbell, the fusion drumscapes of Nathan Carter to the metal madness of Ray Rojo!

“Skinwalker”, a great 90’s esque rock song, is being mixed by Charlie at Ultimate Rhythm Studio. We’ll have some sound samples up as soon as mastering is done.

For more information visit The Sonic Chameleon’s Facebook Page.

These sessions have been an absolute blast! Here’s a few photos from the various sessions.

An Afternoon In The Studio Turns Heavy!

One day it’s a ballad, the next day it’s a funk tune. You just never know but on one particularly sunny day in Hollywood Charlie, Ernesto and Menno went a little insane and this is the result. A little hint…it’s not a ballad and it’s not a funk tune. Enjoy!
