Update for today. Not a lot of progress, been busy running a business. Waiting on cable orders to come in, the guy that sold me the MS-16 and M-520 thought he had more 16 channel snakes for the rig in storage but only had three TS to RCA cables, about 6 ft long.
Recording the Masters SM911 1” tape came in today along with the proper MRL tape so I can calibrate. Still working on the M-520 Stereo Master A issue with Sweetbeats on another thread. Soon it will be time to install all the cables, outboard gear, get all the patch bays labeled and then start in on getting my synths wired up (if I end up doing that) or just have them stored on the walls and all their power cables in a bundle that I can easily move them to the floor stand and work on them. We’ll see. many decisions still to make.
One amazing observation: it’s getting acoustically tight in there and I like what I’m hearing so far! Just a little more bass trapping and possibly a few absorptive panels to compensate for the artwork I’m putting up. I know those hardcore studio fanatics around here will balk at me adding more reflective surfaces, but they are part of my collection. Like my signed Elbow print, signed Howard Jones Human’s Lib print, memorabilia from my own musical past and a few more things that inspire me.
