This is the state of things in Studio A’s control room. We have racks and are slowly moving the gear back into them - which is pretty damn exciting!

The box of jokes has been unpacked and the jokes are slowly making their way into various nooks and crannies of the new studio.

Check it out! 1/2 Piano room treatments are nearly complete (@soundwallconstruction!!). 3 Tech room is getting close. 4 the lounge has a rug! 5 Storage room in Malden at @sum.studios is full of stuff we can’t wait to either get back or never see again. 6 First Q meeting in the mezzanine (hi @chuck.hargreaves, @valauskased, @mayorqdiv and me @mr.distorter). 7/8 Our Neve guru Andrew Lypps with his 3d printed brackets for the playback select and speaker select illumination mods! And 8, the live room floor is protected again as the final phase of work continues in there.
Phew. Can’t wait to be open again!

@chuck.hargreaves set up some drums in the new live room and who shows up but @mikepiehl… this is what the new room sounds like right now, before final treatments!

A little Neve update from Q3.0 -we found a rare sifam phase meter for the center section - the console had one long ago, and now it has one again! Anything hitting the mix buss will also hit the phase meter - pan left and right and the meter will let you know how close you are.

Early on we decided we had to re paint and re screen the 32404 and 31103 modules - they were just too chewed up. The 32408’s were fine. This was no small task- but with lots of help from @daykampcreative who redesigned the faceplate graphics for us (we added a .q to the module numbers, just for fun), and with the help of a silk screener and a metal shop in Hudson MA, the color was matched and the legends are now crisp and legible.

You can also see the phase and eql switch caps which out master tech Andrew Lypps (who’s overseeing the restoration project) etched for us on his 3d printer/cnc machine, one of 3 or 4 pieces that he’s hand crafted as part of the Neve restoration project.

Here’s a peak at the latest from Q3.0 - first, Studio A’s lounge, which includes two levels, including a kitchenon the ground floor, and a view into the live room from the mezzanine level (window on the left). Second image is Studio A’s control room during the install process - most of the treatments are in, but not the finishes. The Neve is in its place and getting wired and commissioned - we’ve restored almost every inch of that beast. You can see the the window to the performance spaces on the right - hard to tell, but it’s enormous with great lines of sight. Design and build by @recordingstudiodesigner and @soundwallconstruction

The Neve (well, the frame at least!) is in its final position in the new control room, so while Eric of @soundwallconstruction continues to finish the various spaces we can start wiring up the patch bay. It’s a proper milestone. We can’t wait to share this space with you!

Check it out – our new rooms have new floors –

Check it out – our new rooms have new floors – and this means the next stage of construction really and truly is underway! Lou Clark and Eric Pearce are onsite, building and installing room treatments, indicating that we’re finally more than half way there. We can see the beginning of the end of this long process! When will we be ready to open our doors? That’s a great question, and it’s been a moving target. We’re following the “don’t book your record release until you’ve got the vinyl from the pressing plant” rule and not saying until we know we can do it- you’ll just have to keep reading our updates.

Stay tuned, keep safe, vote for gun safety and women’s rights..
Best from all of us at Q.

There are so many reasons we love this… not the least of which is @chuck.hargreaves’ and the rest of Field Day’s excellence! They’re playing a show on Sunday with our old pal from Winter Pills! And, of course we aren’t immune to a bit of nostalgia for our most recent studio B…

We were pleased to be able to host future engineers from Zumix last week. We showed them our Neve tech shop and the two studios we’re building… Can’t wait to have them back when we’re finished with construction, and we hope some become future Q Interns.:.

Last week our young people in Live! and Studio got to visit the build site of the new @QDivisionStudios! We saw the restoration in progress of a monster analog console and the bones of the new control room's double layer soundproof walls. Big thanks to Rafi and Matt for letting us know about what it takes to intern at Q Division!

La semana pasada nuestros jóvenes de Vivo! y Estudio tuvieron la oportunidad para visitar el sitio de construcción del nuevo estudio de grabación de @QDivisionStudios! Vimos la restauración en camino de una gigante consola anológica y los huesos de las paredes insonorizadas de la sala de control. Muchas gracias a Rafi y Matt por dejarnos saber de lo que es el proceso de hacer una pasantía en Q Division!
