The 500 series mixer at the A Designs booth had me involuntarily salivating a bit. Luckily my facial hair disguised it...
Talking with Dave Thibodeau at the Daking booth about possibly resurrecting that 500 series EQ (an A range crammed into a single space but with a digitally controlled interface not many enjoyed I guess).
Seeing Jon Erickson transformed from surfer looking dude, to full on college professor look with jacket, glasses and his hair seemed somewhat kept. Is it me, or has our little Jonny grown up?
The filthy (yet enjoyable) mouth of Dave Pearlman. I never really spent time with Dave at a show before, we achieved levels of potty humor previously unrealized on a trade show floor. I pray Lisa Montessi didn't overhear it, if she did she may be permanently scarred.
Mistaking Adam Brass for "Austin from Boston" in the Mercenary booth, sorry but you dudes look strikingly alike (when I haven't seen Austin in a year or more). I even had to check Adam's badge to make sure he wasn't Austin, sorry for the confusion...
Didn't get to see the presentation as it kept getting pushed back I guess, but the Rupert Neve / sE ribbon mic is intriguing.
Not really wow, but was nice to have my hearing tested and find above average scoring across the board.
Larry @ ADK Microphones was showing his modular lollipop style mic systems, I love modular stuff so I'm interested to hear it.
Andrew's presentation at the Purple booth, his 500 mixing format seems to be very nice stuff.
Scott LaChapell's 500 series preamp and EQ combo...way to go Scott.
Hearing the Chameleon opto tube compressor for the first time, that's a seriously nice box and capable of some nice character compression and drive.
Realizing that pronouncing Avedis' name correctly only causes confusion amongst all who know him or his company, and having to revert back to calling him "uh-vee-dis" (it's really "ah-vay-dees"). Thanks Vahe for setting me straight, no thanks to every person who has to think about what you're saying before they realize you must be talking about "uh-vee-dis".
My neck ache after talking to Tony Belmont too long. Stoop, dude.
Getting to hammer out Metallica tunes as well as some Floyd, Zep and other guitar band stuff, on the Kawai grand at Studio Paradiso. I get sick of playing my digital stuff so...nice to bang on a real piano.
I'm forgetting stuff I'm sure.
