Wow. It has been a long time since I've updated this news site. It has been a crazy time. Lets see.. The Grime Styles record was completed and sounds amazing. Most recently F4Fake just wrapped up a new recording and it was quite an under taking. Tom Ovans, Craig Marshall, MCO, 3 Jazz Collective and many more have gone home with great product as well.
There were lots of gear changes as well. We picked up some Adams S3As and a Lexicon M300 just to name a few things. Randall also got a GML Sontect and an L2 and has been producing quality masters. We have also upgrade the console tremendously, it now has passive faders (no vcas), is running Class A, and we added bypass caps on the coupling caps. If you have one of these sony mxp 3k (3036,3052) consoles I started a yahoo group and it's active with some original sony folks and owners and we've documented alot of helpful stuff from manual pages, schematics, recall sheets, etc. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sony-mxp-3k/
As many of you are probably aware, I've been selling off alot of equipment. This is because I've decided that I may be moving out of Austin and that I want to drastically reduce my overhead. I am only selling equipment that I don't absolutely need and that I would allow me the studio to be 100% debt free.
Randall is going to extend is roles from primary engineer to take over most of the day to day management tasks while I will still retain ownership and executive management tasks. There have been rumors that the studio may be closing and this is not the case, if anything the studio will be more active than every. Selling some of the items means freeing up space in the tracking area and also possibling making room for a lounge in place of the amp room. Stay tuned.
