Name:
Dave Merkel

Where is your studio based:
Billings, Montana, USA

Bio:
Have performed on piano and keys for a few decades (if I say four, does that make me old?). Been involved in audio recording and production for three decades, having gotten a start in broadcasting and on tape. My love for music and audio engineering was renewed with DAWs, the latest plugins, and advancements in MIDI and virtual instruments. I run on two computers ... one for the DAW, the second handles all virtual instruments. The two computers are networked together using VEPro. S

DAW of choice:
Pro Tools

Genres:
Rock, classic rock, rock, pop, gospel, jazz, indie, singer/songwriter, beginning to get into EDM and hiphop.
Favorite plugins: bx SSL4000E and G, Townhouse Bus Compressor, Black Box, Shadow Hills Comp, Waves MV2 and R-EQ, AR Chambers and Plates.

Gear List:
MOTU 4Pre (in-studio), LiveTrack L12 (8 mic +4 line), WA-47, LCT 640 TS, 2x LCT 440 Pure, 2x SM57, 2x SM58, 2x AT-2035, Komplete Kontrol S88 MKI, Breath Controller

Any other cool things about your studio we should know?
My recording space at home is small, but not impossible to work in for a musician or two. I'm hoping to do some limited (up to 8 or 12 track) mobile recording in other spaces and learn to work with the challenges they present.
