Heres what studio G looked like at 9am on friday- pretty messy, but we were about to gut it so who cares? The AMS Logic 1 console you see at the front of the room is going to be the biggest change- that thing was invented in 1988, has been in constant use at POP sound since 1994 and has lasted pretty well... its also paired up with Audiofile, an editing system, and I've been using it since 1998. I'm going to kind of miss it, and its a good solid warhorse of sound engineering excellence, but over the past 3 years its been like driving around in a 1964 Aston Martin DB5- a classic with a really nice smell of cracked leather and oil, but I never know if I'm going to make it to the end of the session without crashing 37 times or having a complete meltdown. As a sad footnote to this consoles illustrious (and highly profitable) career, it actually passed away horribly on thursday afternoon during a session- a power spike fried all its drives. I think it had heard us joking about going "office space" on it in the parking lot- we didn't mean it, we were going to put ole' Nelly out to pasture with all the other obsolete consoles in LA where they could frolic together until the end. So sad.
