SUNSHINE GUN CLUB

~~VIDEO CROWD FUND~~

Sunshine Gun Club is my own little punk project I have running here on the side in between producing other artists and bands. Right now we are just in the process of starting up a crowd fund to put together our next video for the new single "So Alien". Without giving too much away at this point it's going to be a pretty lunatic video treatment and the band needs the smallest assistance in funds to make it really pop!!

You can check out the Go Fund Me page for the Sunshine cause HERE, or click on the image below will take you there also. We have a few level incentives for the various donations. Even the smallest amount will get you in the credits/thankyous of the new video with limited edition tank tops and the new upcoming album "Heaven" on cassette and digital available also all produced, mixed and mastered here at The Submarine.

Big thanks in advance to everyone supporting.

And keep an eye open for the new album out on Wiener Records very soon!!!

Manley Massive Passive - Gear Review

MANLEY MASSIVE PASSIVE - 4 BAND TUBE EQ


      Introducing the Manley Massive Passive 4 band parametric tube EQ. This beast of a machine is the newest addition to The Submarine Studio and has been a sweet compliment to the Aurora GT4-2 parametric we have in here also. The latter being solid state and used mainly for tracking and mixing with the Manley primarily used for mastering though it has definitely been seeing use in the vocal chain and for re-amping and damn I have to say this thing really lives up to the hype. And so it should as it has been a studio staple in control rooms around the world since well before the start of my own career in production and engineering.

      To begin I will state for the record that I am by no means a super hi-tech guy so I will keep this gear review fairly straight forward and totally from a user standpoint without getting too bogged down in the machine's specs. So this piece of outboard is a 4 band parametric EQ, tube design with transformer balanced floating outputs designed to accommodate huge boosts in gain after processing. Each band has switchable (toggle) boost and cut and a switchable shelf and bell curve with the center position bypassing both available selections. The top dial manages the gain either boosting or cutting depending on which position the toggle switch has been set. There is 20db of gain adjust either way which allows for insane headroom and freedom from clipping. The middle pot is the Q select either creating a wide or narrow band with the bell curve active or with the shelf select a smooth gentle lift/cut or a tight cut or boost from the frequency point with a dip just before the boost or a bump just before the cut. It's an interesting way the shelves work as the bands will interact with each other also when engaged not too dissimilar to a Pultec style EQ. And then finally there is the frequency select dial at the bottom. A huge range of selectable frequencies with each band overlapping so there a multiple tone shaping capabilities with this box.


      The center section of this EQ has five high pass and five low pass filters available. The highs can be used for cleaning up mud in the sub sonic region of finished tracks or pushed all the way up for a telephone type effect. Similarly you can use the low pass filters for softening brittle high end and allowing it to sound more natural, darkening the source slightly and giving it that super smooth analogue feel. And then finally the outputs. This is where you can really experiment to get that final sound pushing it hard into breakup or keeping it subtle depending on what your trying to go for this box delivers such an amazing sound!

In conclusion this is an awesome EQ. There were a some other brands I was looking at around that time, The Gyraf G14 was a top contender but I'm glad this guy made it in to the studio. It also definitely requires a little patience and research before approaching this machine but in the end it's all up to your ears and from what I've experienced so far this EQ sounds absolutely insane, beautiful and organic with a lot of power and tone shaping possibilities.

Come by The Submarine and check out how this beast can sound on your masters!!!!

ROCH


____F THE MIXTAPE____


Picture
Super psyched to present "F THE MIXTAPE" from Bed-Stuy Brooklyn artist Roch aka Uriel J. Winfree III. This guy has been working on this record for a minute and we have had the pleasure of being able to take all these tracks and finalize them here at The Submarine.

This mixtape is a beautifully varied collection of classic beats and home grown originals featuring Roch both rapping and singing . From in your face hyped tracks to laid back chill abstacty downtemp. This record is a beast in it's entirety. All the vocals, production and a majority of the instrumentation was done by Roch himself with a few guest features included. Tracked rough and lo-fi he has managed to capture the perfection of imperfect recording techniques that bring all the elements together in making this mix tape totally refreshing, unique, unpretentious and super fun!!!

Download it today, strap on some headphones and enjoy :)
