THE RECORDERS CLUB

Shared multitracks from Weathervane Members.

the recorders club

Over the years, Weathervane’s Brian McTear and Engineer Matt Poirier have worked together on many projects outside of Weathervane recordings. In the spirit of supporting this community and keeping us all sane, several artists have donated tracks for Weathervane remix subscribers.

Over the next few months we’ll drop new multitracks for you to download, inspect, and remix at your discretion. Make them as like or unlike the original as you so desire, then share your work in the comments at the bottom of the page.

It’s the least we could do for everyone who is helping us stay afloat through this unprecedented time. While we may be hunkered down at home, we can still make music together.

RECORDING WORKSHOPS

Bringing together music fans and recording enthusiasts of all levels to practice the processes and techniques we use every day in the recording studio.

 

 

 

Every other month, Weathervane conducts recording and mixing workshops. To attend, you can purchase tickets a-la-carte, or if you're an Event Access member, simply click the RSVP links to reserve your spot.

 

The raw track audio files from these sessions are now available for Remix and Event Access Members to download, remix, and practice their mixing skills.
