In the mid to late 2000’s, Palmer had the good fortune of working with Chris Keup (Jason Mraz, OAR, Parachute) and Stewart Myers (Agents of Good Roots, Jason Mraz) at White Star Sound for several invaluable years. This provided major-label experience including artists signed to Atlantic Records and the Island Def Jam Music Group. Today, Palmer draws on this background as a tracking and mix engineer. Palmer can bring vintage Neve 80’s series mic pre/eq modules and an assortment of vintage Neumann, Sony and AKG microphones if desired. https://www.whitestarsound.com/colin-killalea daily 0.75 2020-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1885c219bec94ffdadc3be/1595645645402-ETVO9PPW25MLIUOIC4K3/Image+7-23-20+at+7.55+PM.jpg Colin Killalea colin killalea From suggestions and ideas to full-on co-writing, Colin is a natural collaborator. His abilities as a multi instrumentalist and savvy synth man allow for a multitude of sonic possibilities in the studio. A believer of pre production mix tapes from the artists with whom he works, Colin is open to each artists' desired direction, regardless of whether it's within his own wheelhouse. He also gives a bang up 10 buck haircut. Colin has an inspiring, albeit limited, collection of books on tape, and is a big time fan of Charles Kuralt's America (he'd actually like to combine the voices of Kuralt, Diane Rehm, sometimes Garrison Keillor, Jonathan Schwartz, and storyteller Bailey White to make, ultimately, the best voice ever. Shelby Foote holds a special place in Colin's heart as well.) Colin's an avid tennis player and almost always has an extra racquet on hand for anyone wishing to play. https://www.whitestarsound.com/danny-kalb daily 0.75 2020-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1885c219bec94ffdadc3be/1595645789904-G6Z3MIAYE953I4MCKINC/Vida+Blue+Danny+Console+copy.JPG Danny Kalb Danny working hard at an inferior studio. https://www.whitestarsound.com/keup daily 0.75 2020-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1885c219bec94ffdadc3be/1595625745705-TJXNYJ85FXH03UN73W6K/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-11-27%2Bat%2B11.01.20%2BAM.jpg Chris Keup chris keup Chris is a songwriter/producer and owner of Salinger Songs, a music publishing company.
