Oh so much news.

So, we obviously do better at updating facebook than blogger. Look up our facebook profile for lots more in the way of pictures and news. We're open. Just finishing some wiring and waiting on 703 to arrive for us to finish the control room.

The control room is approximately 12 x 15 finished in burgundy and black suede. It has a fully floating floor and a suspended acoustic ceiling. Control is centered around a large desk by Sound Construction Inc. which is sized for our future Toft Trident Series ATB Console. (In the meantime we monitor tape returns with a Yamaha 01V and a Big Knob for everything else. Behind the listening position are the equipment racks filled with outboard preamps and processors. The top of the racks is also a work surface for the producer's desk behind. A 6' oversized sac and comfortable work chairs are available for the producers, directors, or artists to lounge or sit up and be actively involved. The control room is very tight without being dead and has a very flat response.

The live room has a great sound that is simultaneously eclectic and classic. The name of the game is versatility. With a 10' ceiling height and a wide variety of surfaces including, exposed brick (great for guitars), hardwood, carpet, vinyl tile, absorption and diffusion panels. The room can yield a lot of different characters depending on where we place amps, instruments, or microphones. The room is an L shape around the control room roughly 20' by 30' on both sides. And the reverb tail is between 0.5-3 seconds depending on where we set up. The room is pretty balanced when we pink it, with a slight lift at the low and high ends (x-curve, is the industry term). The wall colors are Chocolate Brown, Limeade (Bright Green), and a Dark Purple. 2 walls sport rough finished wood in reddish hues (hearkening to Avatar).

The vocal booth is small, but not claustrophobia-inducing, and made to sound pretty dry. (Though we can liven it up pretty easily). There's a small window to allow visual communication with musicians in the live room. Next to the vocal booth is a storage closet we can use for isolating brass or sax anything that needs a little life (exposed brick), but also needs isolation. The machine room houses the noisy stuff, the computer, hard drives, monitor amplifiers, the tape machines, the refrigerator, microwave, water cooler, and the power box (we have our own 100 amp sub-box of 3 phase power, uncommon ground). We also have a file cabinet for bills, invoices, and business stuff. We are, in fact, a business.

So if anyone you know wants to make a record, by all means, send em our way.
