in the early millenium it was the headquarters for secretly canadian records. for the past couple years it was The Art Hospital, which was an art gallery and venue for local and touring musicians.

thanks!
yeah, it's an otari. it does live in the machine room, with an access door in the control room. apparently 4 of the channels dont work. but it was given to me, so i cant complain.

Hey, I spent the past three months building a new studio in Bloomington, IN. I got a huge building that was wide open with 17' foot ceilings throughout. I then designed a space within it. And then took a crazy loan out, and with the help of many friends, built it. I didn't cut any corners... redisig...

i have a pair of the distressors and a pair of the chandler germs. Having a pair distressors with stereo link is a very nice option. Awesome for room mics (I've been really into stereo room mics for vox with distressors on them in 2:1 comping 3-9 dB). Also great for a parallel drum buss. Lock that s...

hey, if it's just the cable and not the connector, you can just get standard 6 conductor tube mic cable. i get mine from redco. the connectors on those are pretty shifty though. if those have gon bad, it might tough to replace, but it also just might be a cold solder joint, especially of the cables ...

I usually don't mind soldering for a few hours on end, but the thought of soldering 3x96 points + normalling had me breathing into a paper bag at the mere thought- of course punchdowns would be alot easier... -J yeah. i had de solder 4 96 pt tt bays, then solder it all back to my configuration. hol...

i already have a crane song spider which is an 8 ch. pre and 10 ch a/d. and it's awesome. however, when i do mobile gigs, i want to have something that i can pop out of my rack really easily and take with me. The Crane Song is a total pain in the ass to pull out of the rack. It's not going anywhere....

how is that no one really seems to know about samplitude? this is by far the best recording software i've ever used. jumping frrom sonar (back when it was sonar 1) was the best thing i had ever done. samplitude is super intuitive, extremely fast and ergonomic, and stable. i use it like a tape machic...

hey, Im looking to get other set of high quality mic pres with A/D (4 or more channels) with optical outs and can't think of too many other options other than the Focusrite ISA 4 channel dude. If that API A2D came in a 4 channel version I would be all over it. I could get two, but it would sort of p...

and the best part is that it's in DOWNTOWN Chicago! like a few blocks from the Sears Tower. awesome.

Cal's Liquors rules. we just played there last week and it was a ton of fun. The friendliest folks and a great atmosphere.
