Freelance Whales were back at Threshold Recording Studios NYC this month. This band is so great, it is always a pleasure to have them in the house. Big chunks of their highly regarded debut "Weathervanes" were done here at the studio with seasoned Threshold Producer, Engineer, Multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Sklarsky at the helm. We'll post a link to the song they recorded here upon its release, which should come sometime during their upcoming tour with Foals (which takes them across the continent including a co-headlining show at Terminal 5!). Freelance Whales' Judah Dadone with Jeremy Sklarsky @ Threshold...

Threshold Studios - New Plugins and gearWe've got some new Waves plugins recently and have been really enjoying them here at the studio. At the top of the pile are the CLA Classic Compressors, featuring software models of Chris Lord-Alge's  blue and black 1176's, an LA-2A, and LA-3A. They sound quite excellent. The studio already has 2 hardware blue plate 1176's, but having an unlimited supply in plugin form is quite convenient.Our upgraded Waves bundle includes the Neve modeled V-Series. The clear winner here is the VEQ3, which is a model of the Neve 1073 EQ module. Just a week prior we added two Neve 1073 LB preamps to our 500 series rack and been getting very positive reviews from engineers working in the room.So between the CLA Compressors, the SSL bundle, and the Neve bundle (plus, ya know, some real hardware API and Daking EQ's, 1176's, and Summit, DBX, and Daking Compressors) the mix room is coming together nicely....

Nicholas James in the Studio OurStage certainly seems to think so.

Congratulations to Threshold Studios Alumni ATOMIC TOM on their recent YouTube viral video success with their fab 'B Train' performance of 'Take Me Out'. In 2007 Producer James Walsh and his team recorded several songs with the band including 'You Always Get What You Want' and 'Dirty Girl'- playing a small but vital role in helping spin off the career of singer Luke White while he was getting his independent footing in the NYC's LES music scene. 'You Always Get What You Want' eventually landed the boys a well paid and vital AMC commercial trailer placement and both songs recorded and produced here at the studio enjoyed considerable success in various MTV show placements.Quality recording and productions certainly provided some of the ammo they needed to build a strong team and eventually land a label deal- and now this smashing 1.7 million view success! They've been busting their butts for several years now and deserve this opportunity. Support them! Rock on Luke:)Hey - was that Luke and Eric on...

In 2008/9 Jeremy Sklarsky produced the Freelance Whales debut album "Weathervanes" record at Threshold Studios. Twitter got a hold of the record and used the opening track in a video to promote the new twitter platform. A few days later, the clip had over 2 million views. They've also had songs on "Grey's Anatomy," HBO's "Bored To Death," "Chuck," and "Ugly Betty." It goes to show you what kind of licensing opportunities and exposure can be available to the right band with quality production. Jeremy is currently looking for the next big thing. Is that you? ...
