SO it begins.

So we are holding keys to a 5000 sq foot space on McCarren park, getting ready to build the studio we always wanted.
  Amazing.
  Stay tuned for some seriously in depth detailed blow by blows on what it takes to build a multi room facility in NYC if you are NOT a millionaire, an investor group, or a business person at all. This wil be an extension of everything I have ever done as a musician.
  This place will be a temple for those of you that have simply stuck to your guns and made it happen for your self.
   I ran around in the empty space today with my 15 month old daughter.
          Yes, there are high hopes.

Chamber rage

Printed the chamber on the Secret Chiefs 3 stuff I was tracking. It sounds bananas.
  I cant wait to be mixing some more stuff just so I can use it on EVERYTHING. ;)

   Happily looking at Ducati upgrades now. Some carbon fiber here... new racing tank, new carbon side panels, new tail chop... should be looking good soon.

Collins 26-1U compressor

Another favorite of mine: the Collins 26-1U.
here is the schematic if you have one of these: http://www.waltzingbear.com/Schematics/Misc/Collins_26U1.htm

Also, this thing uses the classic 6386 vari-mu tube, like the GE unilevel, gates sta-level, fairchild 660/670, and other modern thingies from pendulum audio and a few others. I love the 6386 based compressors a lot. They just do something none of my other comps will do. The UTC transformers in the 261U sound amazing just running through them, and this box has found its way onto almost every record I have mixed in the last 5+ years.  Highly recommended. They seem to be getting really expensive lately, so if you have the money: now is the time.
