Entering A new saga with a new studio: LBA Recording Studio.

Lots of photos coming soon!  Photo shoot of the studio is scheduled for this coming Wednesday.  Its the same location, but with a new look, a new sound, and a lot of new and very awesome equipment.  The main focus was on a complete rebuild of the control room from the ground up.  I felt this room had to be the best because that's where all the judgement calls on sound are made.  The whole process of gutting and rebuilding the room took almost 2 months and many thousands of dollars.  Its hard to sum everything up in a short blog, but I'll do my best at coving some of the biggest improvements.  First is a new and very mighty hand-built one-of-a-kind vacuum tube powered mixing board.  Its class A, ultra low noise, and very clean sounding.  Next would be the massive Pendragon tower speakers from Tekton Design.  Those behemoths weigh in at 90 lbs. each and stand a whopping 4'6.5" tall.  Impressive sound is an understatement.  There's actually a bunch of new gear in the control room, but the photos will tell a lot more to the story when they come next week.  On the other end of the studio are some really awesome new keys (or actually really old).  A pristine 1970's Kimble baby grand piano sits front and center in the piano room, surrounded by classic instruments from the 1960's.  There's the 1960's Wurlitzer electric piano, which is a recent add (vacuum tube powered), and the old faithful Hammond Organ (also vacuum tube powered), the pair of Leslie rotating speaker cabs (tubes!), and the Ampeg B-15-N (more tubes).  A lot more fills the space, so check back in about a week for photo updates!  Exciting times my friends :)
