Subject: Re: [acoustics] Re: working volume
I wish you luck on the studio build. We're renting space in a
sorta-warehouse-type place, so we went straight for accoustics and screw
the BS. Place is amuck with cables, but we have the most flexible system
I've ever worked on. Massive dig gear (G4/24x72-MOTU/Fostex HD) and analog
on the side. Tons of effects, two 24 ch boards, lotsa keys etc. My partner
is a drummer/eng/seq guy, and his band works as session staff. You may
know of the guitar player, Ray Brand, who played with Leon R, DA Coe,
Buckeye, Slaughter Road. Bassist worked for James Taylor amongst ###. The
unknown guitarist, John Huber, just murders, may be the best of the lot.
Wayne Perkins (Rolling Stns, Leon R, Joani Mitchell, etc etc) does side
work with us too.
BTW... We're working on the Mighty Field Of Vision project. Do you know
anything about it? Foundation to assist indigent musicians. Tons of great
musicians involved with that.. Pete Carr, WP, John Willis, Bobby Whitlock,
Chuck Leavell, Bonnie Bramlett and abuncha others. If you wanna check out
the list, it's at:

It's a pretty busy list... WWide of course... with lotsa Muscle Shoals
connections.
Hey... gotta go to a Sunday Dinner. Wow. Munchie time, (and I'd better be
on my best behaviour)!!
