Yes, the profits of the next booked session will go toward a trip to SPI and two 9-packs of john mansville. BTW, the stuff works great. I think it was $80 with tax for a pack of 9 2x4' pieces here in Chicago.

The crazy thing is that I overestimated how much room sound or reverb bleed would go into the mics. With my initial sessions with clients, I backed things away, but the next day's playback had me thinking "Man, shoulda backed the mics up more..."

It's not that out-of-hand that you might think. But, gobo's do keep things nice and punchy without sucking the room away from the mics.

If anyone here on the boards simply wants to swing by, I wouldn't mind a tour. If anything, a big place by myself feels a little lonely when I'm just soldering and soldering and soldering.

*sob*

Let me know where your at Ill swing by for a tour . Im soldering right now . I need a break

maybe if a few dozen hit records came from the studio, i'll make it look snazzy!

and, really, sorry for the technicality. i just think the reverb of the room brings me back 50 years.

My experience with Marshall couldn't have been better and im pleased to know him. I brought my protools rig and we hooked it right up to the patch bay.

Wonderful room

Ill post files after the mix

thanks for the picture. the room sounded great.

just got an old omni electrovoice mic that's sounding killer as a room mic.

i'm also maybe thinking of re-opamp-ing my board. anyone ever found that changes the sound as much as everyone says it does?

(4741-5 to LT1359 - up that slew rate!)

I just had a session here.

I could go into great detail about how incredible this room is, but I really want you to go experience it.
I just have to say this is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest large tracking room in Chicago.

Marshall is an incredibly delightful intelligent engineer with great answers for any question or problem you may face at his studio.
