Going Ham
Hey guys, been awhile I know, not sure how many subscribers out there even check in anymore but we all have been busy here at Gridlock, with sessions and with our personal lives but I plan on updating more real soon. Started working with some new clients as of late, really trying to get into a new routine, learning the clients drives and making myself more familiar with the equipment he uses. There are in this instance so many issues with the amout of data and just physical space these drives take up on the credenza, it has me looking for the smallest but most reliable Terabyte drives I can find. Im having fun though, and alot is expected of me, but thats what I like about the situation. Im in charge of what gets bought, what gear we decide to use in the future, and just experimenting with new modules and outboard. Im still learning the rig on which he uses to produce, but I should have it all together come the next few weeks. Im looking forward to this year alot, alot of changes and hopefully meeting new people and taking my craft to another level. Here are some pics of the recent sessions at PWR and Silent.

New Music: Electrik Red

Another dope album produced by Tricky and Dream. I really like the way they put their albums together from the mixes to the sequencing of the songs. I really love the sound of this record, its worth the $7.99 their charging for it on iTunes.

Check it out for yourself....
In response to Leslie straight SON-ing of not showing proper respect in the game....I offer a chance to see for yourself. Below is a link of the two mixes in question. They have been set up in a protools session for A/B comparison .....and loudness matched as Leslie's is his original mix, and Buddies is a mastered version. I want gridlock readers to chime in with their comments and opinons....there are no wrong answers here....just stupid ones. Enjoy kiddies....
