Ever wonder how all those gun and explosion sounds are recorded for video games and the like? Watson Wu, a great friend of TheK2BShow, is one of the nation’s leading recordists for this kind of thing. He posted a cool video of one of the firearms recording sessions (and bomb explosions stuff!) and sent it to us.
Thanks Watson, keep up the great work and just stay out of the line of fire!!!
(We’ll feature other videos of Watson Wu’s soon, or check out his YouTube channel here.)
Thanks to our friends at Benchmark for this cool video of Annie and the Beekeepers song “In the Water”. A trio of guitar/voice, cello and upright bass, these Berklee grads sound great, and even greater using Benchmark gear.
Music studios are catching on and in recent years Benchmark mic pres and converters are cropping up in studios across the country. As an historically ‘engineering-driven’ company, Benchmark is realizing the power of the web so they’ve started a really cool video marketing series called “Masters From Their Day”. You’ll see all of them here on TheK2BShow site or if you can’t stand the wait for each episode, check them all out at the Masters From Their Day website.

As promised, here’s the first installment of the documentary called “Crane Song – Superior Gear, The story of Dave Hill”, that originally aired on TheK2BShow, Nov. 17th. We’ll post another new installment of this film each month until it’s all been previewed and then we’ll move on to Alain’s documentary on EveAnna Manley called “Manley, Rule of Tubes”. These are greatly informative docs that are well done and quite interesting. See all of Alain’s films here and check back for new installments. Dave Hill is a friend of TheK2BShow and a real audio genius. See Cranesong gear and read about Dave here. Enjoy!!!
Benchmark has been producing ultra high-quality audio gear for the production studio for the past 27 years. When the audio is critical, (and when is it NOT?) broadcast and film guys insist on the pristine sound of Benchmark gear .

This first video from Benchmark is an excellent band from Brooklyn – Rubblebucket. It’s a good-looking video directed by Isaac Deitz and if you’ve not been in the studio yet as a recording artist, it’s a great slice of life inside the studio. All converters and mic preamps are, of course, Benchmark, and the un-compressed .wav file is available for free download here. Also, -VERY COOL Alert! – they posted for free the individual tracks for you to download and remix the entire song! Get those tracks here – Rubblebucket remix page. If you remix this song and want others to hear it, email us and we’ll post it here and you get a free K2BShow, glow-in-the-dark guitar pick, the collector’s edition! Enjoy!
