can you identify this gear??

[Alex Breaux]

If somebody put their drink on my console like that, they would never step foot in my studio again. I would probably run their head through the wall numerous times. before I did so, I would set up a room mic and record it just so I'll be satisfied considering nothing can justify that kind of ignorance. WOW... You can see drops of water going down into the faders.

Hi

Funny enough, back when I worked for Neve my hobby was restoring old aircraft at nearby Duxford/Imperial War Museum. My pet project was a Vickers Viscount turbo prop airliner from the mid 1950's.

Besides ash trays for every seat, it did not have lockers over the seats but rather a mesh shelf that you put your stuff in. Every seat had an elliptical window that was also an escape path, and, above the pilot's windscreen was a Decca Navigator preceder of 21st century GPS consisting of a rolling paper map with a pointer that showed the position on the map.

Memories.....

i have a feeling all this shit some of yall are talkin wouldnt go down if you had nas in your studio. dude would be the best thing to walk inside your room.

[sameal]

i would flip my shit.

NEVER EVER EVER put your drink AND your ashtray on my shit. AND never smoke in the presence of my gear, ever.


and then he would whip out his checkbook, buy the place and promptly kick my ass out on the curb, finishing the album treating the gear however he damn well pleased.

^ fixed it.


it's a little more then that. it's an expensive piece of equipment that cigarette ashes and water should not be in.

if you ever bought a console and promptly cleaned it you know what i mean. it's like cleaning out someones used couch.

can anyone identify the gear in this image?

I am actually most interested in the multi-rainbow looking colored piece to the right, what is that thing i see it in lots of studios but have no idea what it is; some sort of EQ?

if you know anything else just call it out for fun; i know onei think[/QUOTE]

You also want the names of the pen ?
I think that's very important, so he writes hits :-)

...i see a api modules ( left side )

[okailla]

Yeah, I think he uses an ST Dupont.
Up there with the best of the best.
No chance getting good results without a pen in that league.

when was that? had to be years ago. i dunno there's something about that that's just wrong. I'd have taped it up or pulled it out or something.

even if something happens clients like these can pay for repair not big deal.

He may be able to pay for a repair, but it's still gonna grind the session to a halt, and possibly screw up session for other clients if that's his last scheduled day.
