slaphappygarry Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thats one of my dream consoles. Have you noticed the recent SSL's floating about? There is a 48 duality on Funky Junk. I recall at one point you looking at the AWS... Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Yeah I've seen the ssls. I played with michael W's aws recently and while I get what people like, it doesn't really do it for me. Every one of my instincts is screaming API right now...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimskidog Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 As you'll see here there hasn't been an enormous amount of work over the summer. I spent about 6 weeks out of the country and came back straight into a session. The room has now been entirely painted and the floor has been sealed with concrete paint. Booth windows and door have not yet arrived. In fact I spent today cutting blocks of rockwool to fill the window apertures (but forgot to take pictures after I'd done so). Anyway, here's a few for you (taken on my iphone so excuse the quality): And one of the house kit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 very nice drumkit, although i prefer a 1 up 2 down setup myself. Lovely bass amp too. Aren't you going to have a seperate room for amps? I know some studios like to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 thanks man. Yes. There will be a total of three isobooths any of which can be used for amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Nice! Is it me or is there a snare/tom over the whole in the skin on that kick? Looks really weird whatever is going on anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 It's a Yamaha Subkick. An NS10 woofer wired backwards it's essentially a microphone that captures all the low end frequencies of the kick drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ster Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Looking splendid! Is that a pair of SE Electronics 'Stand 1' microphone stands you're using for the overheads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew that the time had come to get at least one 'proper' mic stand! And the SE's are great stands - not done any drum recordings since I got them - but will certainly use them for over-heads next time I do... And what's the mic you have on the guitar stand in front of the kit? A ribbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Looking good mate, the API is a cracking desk to run PT through, makes the 192's sound good!

We're stuck with 192's as we have a job lot from Digi, we have 14 HD rigs and 24 studio rooms, I can't afford to even begin thinking about changing the I/O...! How are you getting on with the Adams?

We use Dynaudio M1 and BM5a's for near-fields, a few PMC's too, mainly PMC and ATC for mains, I've been meaning to get some Adams in for comparison for a while, Pip Williams lectures with us and he has Adams near-fields, swears by em.
