was talking with someone about gold today

I was talking with one of my teachers today about gold in ICs. All the gold is in the wires of big chips…
so I looked around and found another video about the PCB plating

THEN, blessings to youtube, there is a guy smelting it

The day Google unplugs, is the day the worlds knowledge disappear

Using a POD 2 switcher

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.

A Social Experiment

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 was over at Ward-Beck the other week and saw some really nice turrets coming off the line.   Hand Made, versatile and robust.
Just what you like to see in something that’s going to have the crap kicked out of it by announcers and A2s.

this one is “en francais” – j’aimme le Talké / Backé button

Kevin was mentioning an updated version of this box…

A project I’ve been working on has come… full circle ;-)

Congrats to Kevin Park and the Lacquer channel team for getting the Neumann VMS70 back in the game. A fantastic project to have been a part of! We recapped the entire audio electronics for Kevin before he had lathe aficionado Chris Muth calibrate it. It’s a fine precision piece of audio electronics and Kevin is one HELL of a lathe mechanic and cutting engineer! It, and he, are in good hands over at Toronto’s Lacquer Channel. I’m excited to cut a few plates myself!

Many Thanks to Dave, Jose, and Tyler for their help and enthusiasm about the project!

Sound guy xmas idea #14 – A custom piece of studio furniture

If it’s not custom it’s crap.  And, if it’s not designed and built with the love and respect for the craft like Brock at 2egress builds, it’s also crap.

I met Brock my first week in Toronto and was blown away by his designs and builds.   The most elegant, tasteful, and quality Recording Studio Furniture on the market.

If you want to deliver something special to your special sound guy you will have to order it soon, like today if you want delivery by xmas.

Check out his website: 2egress.com and give him a call, he will inspire something you’ve never thought of.
