February 2020 Album
- Had pre-planning talk with Greg
- We pondered some unique framing devices and concepts for the album (including not using any fancy framing or conceptual approaches)
- I’m hoping to include as much collaboration with as many different people as possible
Studio
- New (used) Audix f9 mic arrived. Now I have two!
- Did test recordings with stereo pair on the Taylor.

Studio
- Restrung Washburn with Martin strings.
- I had success with Martin strings on the Taylor. The Washburn is still meh.
Adam Rabin solo
- Dove deeper into yesterday’s acoustic guitar recording.
- I like the Audix f9 mic I used on the bridge. Not so much the Audix f15 on the neck.
- Might buy a second f9.
- Remixed & remastered “In Celebration of Greg’s Colonoscopy”

- Chatted with my buddy about it. Realized it’s just going to require too much time and expense to be feasible with so little of either.
Banged on the drums
