    Somebody talked me into a JBL/Urei 7110 here...

    It may have been sonic Albert a few years back. Maybe somebody else. My memory isn't as good as it was. I bought the thing. It sat in my rack. It went into storage with the rest of my gear when things went south. But now I have a new respect and admiration for this box. Here is why. On the...

    Advice for Interview as Sound Man/Engineer?

    Really not sure if this is the best place to post this... It looks like a management company with an artist who is negotiating a label deal wants to interview me as the full time sound man and recording engineer for their artist. :cool: It has been ages since I worked in a real studio and even...

    Console Rapers

    I can't believe how many channel strips and other pieces of large format consoles are for sale on Ebay. What bothers me is seeing descriptions where the seller said he parted out a perfectly working console in order to offer the strips. WTF? I think that really sucks. Do you really make that...
