Just wondering what the room ratios were, why you chose parallel surfaces throughout when you had complete freedom to do what you wanted?

much cheaper to build a box and then create non-parallel surfaces within it!! room ratios are in some of the earlier posts - I can't remember the specifics but check back to earlier threads on this post and it will have them..

here's some new photos. first paid jobs have started and bookings are looking good already!!

Still waiting on the NEVE 33609 Stereo Compressor to come in from being racked and powered..

LeMauce · 27th February 2009

Crap dude. What a PLACE!
10 out of 10 for me. And is that the Gemini II model? I think its one of the verstile best mic around 1K euro's.
Only I hope that you don't have problems with your C24. I read more and more problems. Power supply issue's (here we go again like the old Control24) and to hot in/output for drums on the 16 pre-amps in the C24 it self.

And when do we here some nice sample's

?

wildpark · 27th February 2009
