Soundelux e250 Mic Tempts Sonic Eden

Award-winning engineer/producer, John Albani, Sonic Eden Studios,
chooses the Soundelux e250
|
Owned by award-winning engineer/producer John Albani, Sonic Eden Studios
often hosts some of the most important voices of the country music industry.
Noticing this, Albani found a need for a large diaphragm condenser microphone
that could comprehensively and impressively capture the essence of any voice and
most every instrument that graced his studio. "I was looking for an overall
microphone, which is usually pretty stupid to do because everyone sounds so
different," Albani explains. "You never know what will sound good because one
person may sound great on one mic, then someone else will walk in and it will be
so wrong."

03/30/2004 -legendary singer Dobie
Grey recorded vocals on two songs of friend
Jimmy
Griffin, lead singer for the band Bread.
Jimmy passed away January 11 2005 after a battle with cancer.
Jimmy recorded the two songs with John Albani last year and had requested Dobie
come in and lay down the vocal tracks.
"I think Jimmy must have been with us since everything went effortlessly and
sounded incredable even when we just brought the faders up" said Albani.
Dobie used Sonic Eden's new Soundelux E250 through an LA-610. Sweeeeet!

Nashville (April 24, 2002)--Nashville Studios are working on
new and exciting projects every day, and some are being made
with new tools. The debut album for new Lyric Street artist,
"Dave," was recorded and mixed at John Albani's Sonic Eden
Studios (formerly Landshark Music). Due out in June, the album was produced by Dan Serafini,
and Albani served as the recording and mixing engineer.
Dave originally came to Landshark to record demos, and after
Lyric Street heard them, they signed him and asked Albani and
Serafini to continue recording as they had started, and complete
the album. Albani says, "I guess it sounded different to them
because we didn't use the same players as everyone else, and the
studio, engineer and producer were all unknown. The musicians
were from various artists live bands--Chely Wright, Sons of the
Desert, Charlie Daniels, etc. Also of interest is the album was
done entirely with Steinberg's Nuendo DAW which I got going
thanks to Chuck Ainlay." Sonic Eden has recently hosted
several other artists, including Michelle Wright, Lisa Brokup
and Randy Boudreax
