In 2006 we (Myself and Andrew Waters) built a ceiling diffuser for the studio. I’ve been doing some data backups and thought I’d share some pictures and info on the build. The whole thing was made out of 2 X 4s and 3/4″ MDF. I had a carpenter friend cut all the pieces
This was the proposed layout. Using a “herringbone diffuser” design, a frame would hang from the ceiling with some turnbuckles. Continue reading
A very new form of expressive keyboard has been introduced by ROLI in London. They craft a very intuitive keyboard like no other called the seaboard. Recently they released the seaboard studio.
I look at it as finally giving true pitch control to keyboardists.
“It’s not a keyboard it’s a seaboard”

I love DeWalt tools. My drill has built many studios and is still going extremely strong! It is however very bulky for the work I do now. DeWalt (those clever guys) sent an email about their new 20V XR that looked great. One of the newest accessories is the USB charger attachment. I think it would come in handy all the time on a job site. It’s unfortunate that the DeWalt tools are “Steal me yellow”, it’s gold to a thief… I’ve lost a few pieces
I find this to be hilarious. http://store.hi-fun.com/en
I’m doing some work for a convention… editing a lectern mic for archival, and mic technique isn’t the forte of the crowd. But to turn around 70 min of dialog in 15 min using pro tools and clip gain is the only tool for the job.
If only I could author a CD right from pro tools. Still have to resort to the now abandoned “Peak Pro”
YES!!! Meyer just announced a new line of wedges. I’ve had nothing but an AMAZING experience working with the MJF-212 speaker and am excited for this smaller footprint monitor. I would have a six pack of these in my arsenal if I were still doing theatre sound. You should ask Santa for these!
Sound guy xmas idea #23 – New “Hand Cart” – AKA: Dolly, Two Wheeler, Mexican Segway, Miss Parton…
I was working with a cheep Canadian Tire dolly and blew a wheel almost right off the hop. It finally gave out and I needed to move something heavy. I couldn’t just leave the tire flat so I cut it open and stuffed with old jeans and gaff taped it up. It got me through the move but this piece of shit has to go! a new wheel is 2/3 the price of the dolly… such junk is not worth repairing. 
So after some looking I came across the GRUV GEAR V-Cart SOLO 
It’s transformable and flexible.
Got this is mail today. I made page 810 
I try to keep one on myself at all times… it’s an Every Day Carry. I think I can build an entire studio with one of these tools, and there hasn’t been a day in a good long time I’ve not put this tool to work. I’m partial to the Leatherman Wave and I know there is MUCH debate about these types of tools so to each their own. They just released a black one with interchangeable bits. Though I love my “classic one” I can see the bit set coming in very handy!
After using them all… RIP-TIE wins hands down!
Either tape inner diameters are shrinking or my hands are getting fatter… Could have put one of these to good use this weekend

I was doing a show today and I could have really used something like this to keep me organized. Walkie pulling down my pants on one side, mic pre-amp hanging from a piece of sash… this would have been MUCH better
Trying out the circular Copy Dial. We needed a way to index the positions so 360/40 is 9 degrees. 
I’m not a foley artist but I was always told Corn Starch makes the best sounding snow… Stay out of school kids; they can’t teach creativity, they can only encourage it.
Of you could just youtube anything and some drunk will give you the answers
