I was reading http://professional-sound.com/ (like I do every month plug plug) and saw Joels lovely new studio and Neve Console. Front an centre I was happy to see the set of WBS pre-amps I wired up for him a few years ago. Glad they’re making great records! And congrats to Thomas, who was apparently a regular at Revolution Recording… I just kept my head down and in the back
I’ve been calculating a lot of components in series lately for an ECR255 class. I’ve also had to graph them on impedance diagrams and a power triangle.
In an effort to better understand the math I made a calculator for myself. Here is it for you to use and enjoy. If you see any problems please let me know. It was designed in excel 2011 for mac… there WILL be compatibility issues and I hope they’re minor.
How it works:
You can fill int the info you have in the orange boxes. Once the boxes are filled in the calculator should fill in the rest.
If you need to modify anything else, it’s all dependant on the orange boxes. I suggest a goal seek by modifying and orange cell.
Ever hear someone say “there’s something funny going on with that power?”
I think electricians are sometime intimidated when they see Orange receptacles. I’ve become sceptical of Orange receptacles without a label on them. Today I had just reason to explore a problem I had…
I know now we can fit two of the 2′ cubes and the “little” white one in the car.
Major kudos to HHB Canada for being just the coolest company around. The future and present is in those walls.
Loading up the studio on the last night got some AA stickers with numbers to follow! Most of this stuff is for sale with the exception of a few things…

Working on the mobile patching system.
I wanted to add some components to my home listening system, so a switcher was needed. I’ve decided to use a POD 2 switcher…
the POD-2 is a (6) Stereo input – stereo switcher that has the ability to sum all inputs. The output of the switcher feeds a Stereo Penny and Giles fader then directly to the Mackie HR824 speakers.
I’ve got to find a panel… but as far as home friendly user interface goes this is as simple as it gets.

I’ve been thinking about a social experiment.
I often take calls from people looking for services, I’ve met a lot of great people in this industry and I do stand by their great work and contributions. So instead of fielding calls and answering the questions I’ve created a Wizard Services section at http://audioaholics.com/wizard_services
I am asking you my friends to use it to work, get work share work and do work together. I would like to consider it my rolodex
I’ve got the permission to post a few contacts and will be doing so this week.
I take a LOT of notes, and I loose a LOT of notes. I find myself throwing away little bits of paper with random writing daily. Collect your thoughts in one classy place: a Moleskine notebook.
Prices vary and they are vailible in almost every bookstore in the world.

AND here is a great system to keep it organized:

Someone blew it up with the wrong PSU… cost more to fix it than it’s worth. Moral of the story… Every Guitar player needs a VOODOO LABS PEDAL POWER!!!
I recently got a bunch of blank switch buttons. I wanted some new CH ON Buttons in APK orange… this is what I came up with.
looking for something in the $150 – $300 range… any suggestions?

It’s rude not to engrave them :-)
A bit redundant that it’s a special IG… it is plastic
