Grayson Matthews new studio
I was lucky enough the other day to have a tour of the new Grayson Matthews rooms. I was very impressed. Such a nice place to do voice work and music in. 
I put a bid on it…
I put a bid on this amazing console… just so I could say “I bid on the Beatles console…” but I was forced to retract my bid because I entered the wrong amount.
Peggy Sue… Past the point of no return
Can you name this console…
Moved
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…
There was also a R257-1 out with a built in 8 source router. 
A test fit of buckets one and two
had a brief test fit this evening…
RUPERT NEVE!!!!
you know… I love this man and am forever in his debt. He’s made laboratory grade audio equipment available to music / broadcast industry for many years and his standards and interests have grown since his beginning. Truly a childlike interest in pushing the boundaries of the craft he practices. He applies raw physics to sound and you should watch this as a whole to appreciate the brilliance of his passion and dedication.
I’m glad someone as enthusiastic as Hutch Hutchison is at his side absorbing it all. (though he left RND)
Long live limitless analog technology!
Long live the passionate, curious and boundary pushing!
Long live Rupert Neve
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.
And here it is…

WBS T1202A in for a cleaning
Dave got his hands a little dirty in the cleaning of a clients T1202A. Very good little task out of the way. While it was in I snapped a few pics for the archive :-) I would have named it a T1202C as it has C revision Modules…
Here is a link to the Ward-Beck Systems T1202A
20100424 – Roxanne – a WBS R1200 resto mod
One of my first ground up restores. This was a console with 12 Mic pre-amps, direct outs, summing and a monitor. It had a “Red Light” on the meter bridge… so I added a switch that said “POTRL” that “Put on the Red Light” and so it became “Roxanne” It’s still in use today but could use some tweaks I’ve learned from experience. We’re working on a very similar project right now, so It’s very cool to look back and learn.
The biggest lesson: it’s hard to put a value on a labour of love and curiosity, but bill accordingly.
New console vacuum
I got a new console vacuum today! Backpack Dayton 4TR09… and it kicks serious ass! I hate eBay… but this was the best $125 I’ve spent in a while
