Check out the first ever recording session in Stud Check out the first ever recording session in Studio A - with @ericsaltmusic's band Electric City. We got to hear the rooms and find a few faults. With @valauskased on bass, @mikeorammusic on guitar, and Denis Saulnier on drums and grins. @chuck.hargreaves and I (@mr.distorter) moved mics and faders, and I took a few pictures. We're going to keep trouble shooting - and there's more to build, but we can see the finish line.
We put away the soldering irons and hid the constr We put away the soldering irons and hid the construction equipment for a few hours. This is what Q 3.0 is looking like right now. Here's to next year - we very much are looking forward to hearing folks making music together in these spaces (and helping you sound your very best!).
Shout out to all the fine folks who've made this come together @recordingstudiodesigner, @soundwallconstruction, @chuck.hargreaves, @communalwaves, @colindrumskinda, @henrysoults, @themeganchase, @terrance_reeves, @valauskased, @jbmoney33, @mr.distorter, and folks who can't be tagged - Andrew Lypps and Matt Tahaney. Be safe out there folks!
Slow and steady - but progress. Control room views Slow and steady - but progress. Control room views and almost fully loaded racks, lounge and mezzanine views, and a view into the live room and of @chuck.hargreaves tuning the house kit’s floor tom. We’re getting close friends - can’t wait to hear you in here!
This is the state of things in Studio A’s contro 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!

A little Neve update from Q3.0 -we found a rare si 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, S 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 fin 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!
