looking back 10 years
finding pictures in the archive.
I made some good records with that gear. I kept only two pieces and gradually weeded out and upgraded the rest
The back was the best part. I remember one of the guys who worked for me getting out of helping me build any of this. He cut the wire and started stripping it with his teeth. Then went on to tell me how many hundreds of EDACS he had done. I guess if you really want to get of wiring work do that, or be a real man and learn a craft.

Building a rack of (12) WBS M470 with (12) M472 EQs.
I’m still thinking about the fader replacement… I was debating an Edac for the inserst send and return with 15dB pads…

Tools of the trade
An apprentice learned a lesson the hard way. I learned he needs to have his own tools.
Eugene was there
I got asked today how WBS “NOW” is connected to WBS “THEN”
Here on the drawing board (1976) is the man in charge today.
I’ll have to ask him when he started…
RENTALS – I’ve spent so much time with this stuff in the shop, it’s time to hit record!!
I’ve decided to open my racks up for rental in town and in at the studio
It’s VERY reasonably priced

The whole thing started with Jägermeister. Kill Bennedy, may he rest in peace, said: “Every studio I go to has the best of the best, and sometimes it’s really just too good. Sometimes I need nasty, gritty and shitty”
I’ve tried to maintain a combination of both amazing and horrible. Some things I consider: “rack-mounted plugins without a computer”
Everything comes with Recall sheets and Mogami breakout snakes (XLR and TRS) Each rack has a EDAC90 on the back for quick connection. I’m working on LF and TT patchbays…

Tanda Recording – Nice Package
This is an advert we did for Tanda Recording
The effort / thought was that in a small market a package price would reduce fear of the unknown costs of recording in a Studio. I think it came out great.

Neve Desk
I recently saved this Neve desk from imminent scrapping. I needed a work surface while designing something and it was perfect.
It’s now got a new purpose at my home office. Its a little weird in terms of rack screws and such.
The wieght of the steel rack weighs its do to apear floating
Here are some pictures of Neves with the side desk attached. I’m still on the hunt for a picture of the desk this originally came from.
