| Bamm -- thanks for that advice. I'm going to run it by the brains of the operation and see how he interprets it. I may have more questions for you after that, if you'd be willing to answer.
And thanks for the encouragement guys. It is a nice space -- it's going to be a bit on the small side of what we wanted for both the control and the live area, but really, it's all about sacrifices at this point, and there's nothing wrong with intimate.
As for the question about gear -- we've actually already got everything we'll be using, at least to start with. We've decided against consoles for now, and simply have a nice big fat Mackie Control at our fingertips with a few extenders.
A partial list of gear that we've already got on hand:
Pres
• Phoenix DRS-2
• (2) Chandler LTD-1's
• Chandler Germanium
• Chandler TG2
• API 3124+
• A-Designs MP2A
Compressors
• Thermionic Phoenix
• Chandler TG1
• Tubetech CL1-B
• Distressor
• (2) Purple MC77's
EQ
• Great River EQ2NV
• Chandler Germanium Tone Control
Other Fun
• Barefoot Micromain MM27's
• Apogee AD-16x
• Apogee DA-16x
• Phoenix Nicerizer 16
• Apogee Symphony
• Crane Song Avocet
• Mackie Control + Extenders
• UAD-1's with most plugs
• Wunder CM7
• AEA R84
• Gefell M300 Stereo Pair
• All the staple Mics (ie. 57's, 421's, etc)
Of course we'll be expanding in the future, but we knew that at this point, with our gear at this level, we needed to focus on a proper space first. And we can do great, solid projects with gear like this, although still not quite enough EQ/compression to do mixes in real time... limitations in numbers of channels just make us work harder and feeds our creativity.
Anyways, back to the room!! I'll try to get an up to date set of pics for the end of the weekend, sounds like the whole control room is nearly framed at this point, including a sloped ceiling that starts around 11 feet high and ends up at 15 feet in the back!!
