Great time Recently working in Studio 1

Just about a month ago I called in to do a session for Studio one.
I was very lucky - that's a sacred place and I gotta give it to Doug and Company for keeping the rooms true to original form

#1 - that is the warmest big room I've ever recorded in, WOW! The Vocalist was stoked and it really helped the drums a lot.

#2 the Neve was a Killer desk and the Room translates really well outside of the studio - even when I did all of my work on the NS-10's

#3 Very kind, chill and helpful family of engineers and folks hanging around there.

Sure it's lavish, they deserve it (and the artist was inspired by it). They made a killer line of products and have the success to save one of our historic "Temples of Sound". Not many folks realize that that building could have been turned into a Car Park if it wasn't for Doug and the crew......Crazy! That's the building where Pet Sounds was recorded and Frak did it "His Way" in studio one!

Cool place, thanks for opening it up to Us Doug.

Oh, and I suck - I never thanked the whole staff before I left as we went a bit late and I live 60 miles south of the studio... I was too tiered to say thank you to everyone.
So send them a BIG THANK YOU .

Chris
