#PreSonusFamFriday: Company Wide Quarantine Edition!

01/05/2020

It's inspiring to see what our customers have created during these strange days of quarantine and isolation. As soon as you open your social media accounts, one thing is certain: Creativity has thrived over the last few months. We wanted to take a minute and share some of the after-hours projects and live streams PreSonus employees have been a part of during this time. Enjoy!

Product Specialist and Home Studio Guru Joe Gilder recently wrote this song simply titled April.

Several PreSonus team members collaborated on this performance. Hear all about it from EVP of Product Management, John Bastianelli. My PreSonus family is so awesome, please check out the first of the PreSonus Isolation Jams Gregor Beyerle, who lives in Germany and is our Software Product Specialist started this track and sent it to me. I was immediately excited about what he created which inspired me to add some synth effects and saxophones. I then passed it to Rick Naqvi, our SVP of sales who added those awesome guitars. Next, the track was sent to Ben Livingston who works in our inside sales department who added his funky drums. Finally, we punted the track over to Richard Gaspard, who's in charge of our worship market, he added his rockin bass guitar and sent the files back. I then doubled this really cool riff Richard played with horns and Rick and I mixed the music and sent the final mix to Gregor who created this awesome video. Oh, this was all done remotely, in our home studios on all PreSonus recording gear. I have to say I'm really proud to work for this company especially with all the talented people! Nothing can keep us from creating music, not even this virus! I hope you all enjoy our jam!

Richard Gaspard is PreSonus' House of Worship Market Manager. He's been at PreSonus since November 2017, and been a PreSonus user since 2002. My wife and I formed the duo Highs and Lows, a musical experiment of arranging iconic songs as just bass (upright and electric) and vocals (mostly her on lead and the two of us on backgrounds). The point is to create very sparse arrangements, but also songs that feature the six-string bass as a solo instrument, covering any instrumental solos as part of the recorded performance. All mics used are either PreSonus PM-2 or PX-1, and everything is recorded through either a PreSonus Studio 26 or AudioBox 22VSL. All audio is edited and mixed in Studio One 4 Professional and video shot on iPhone 11 and edited in Adobe Premier using a shot template I created in Adobe Photoshop.

Perry Tee (aka the.real.agent.p) is PreSonus' Artist Relations Manager and has worked for PreSonus going on eight years. Some guys meet their buddies on the weekend to play golf or poker. We make music while practicing Social Distancing remotely from our separate homes using Studio One.

Eric Levy (keyboards): Night Ranger, Garaj Mahal

Jakubu Griffin (drums): Cirque Du Soleil Zarkana, Chaka Khan, Peabo Bryson, Melissa Manchester, Pearcy Sledge, David Cassidy, Pharez Whitted

Jon Cornell (bass): SNL Band, Jackie Greene, Grand Canyon

Alex Painter (voice): Life On Mars Tribute To David Bowie, Solo Artist

Ryan Miller is our Global Service Manager and has been with PreSonus for four years. After a long six weeks of not being able to play music together as a band, After 8 decided we wanted to put together a live stream for our fans. We utilized four cameras through a switcher into OBS software for the Facebook live stream. The audio was managed with a PreSonus 32R for our in-ears, and then AVB connected to a StudioLive 16 for the Livestream audio. This was monitored and mixed on a pair of R80s by one of our own QA specialists, Seth Martin. The engagement of our fans was incredible, with over 10,000 views! Being able to bring a top-notch production was essential, and PreSonus products provided exactly what we needed.

Ben Mullins, in US Sales has worked for PreSonus for 14 years! On the weekends you might find Ben as DJ MOON at events. I've been playing vinyl DJ sets live on social media through the AudioBox iTwo interface. The iTwo makes it easy, as I just come straight out of my DJ mixer's main output into inputs 1 and 2 on the iTwo. I can even use the iTwo directly into my iPhone and bypass it using a computer. The sound quality is great. I often get compliments on just how clean my stream sounds online.
