Hey Guys -

It's been a long time coming and I'm happy to finally report that I am finally in my new, permanent (or so I think) home.

(Dead Link Removed)

Upgrades to come in the near future -

1 - Bamboo flooring throughout.
2 - New monitors. I love my NHTs, but the ONE and only issue is - they're a tad forward. I'm quite accustomed to that, but my clients are not. So, I will be getting a larger, more laid back pair soon. (Keeping my eye on B&W 802s, both Matrix and Nautalis versions and I just spotted a pair of Ariel 10Bs in NC for a song and a dance...)

Anyway...I'm excited. Now I just need more clients. Perhaps if people realize that the wine refrigerator and the beer refrigerator are both FULL to capacity and there are endless supplies of candy in those overhead cabinets, I might have to beat away the business!

Hey Jeremy,

Nice Digs!

Some day, when I grow up...

Anyway, glad you were able to get all that custom carpentry and such done. Atmosphere is an often overlooked aspect. When people are comfortable, they are more likely to be happy and look for an excuse to come back.

So if the work is good, and the room is good, and the wine is good. Yeesh, where do I sign?

By the way, got the disc in the mail. I really appreciated it. I noticed the diff right away between your version and mine. I really like what you did with the bottom end.

You must have a cape and a power ring to do all that. I'm hoping you don't have the tights, especially in light of your obvious interior design capabilities. That might creep me out a tad.

I think once I have a bucket load of them I'll hire you to master the rest. I'd fly down to watch and learn, but you'd have to bring in some Sleeman's or Big Rock or I just wouldn't feel at home. :wink:

Cheers
Keith

P.S. You know, in your real pictures, you don't really look all that much like a cat carrying a handgun. :lol:

Hehe...Thanks Keith.

Sadly, I do have the tights too... :cry: (It's a fraternity thing - I swear!)

As for the cat thing, it's more of an homage to my family cat who, by nature of her redneck birth home, is actually part bobcat. It's funny to watch her and my German Shepherd go at it - she beats the crap out of the dog every time (and weighs in at a mighty 11 pounds versus the dog's 80!)

Cucco's new room....

WOW!!!!! Is that really what you can achieve youself??? Blimey - my faith as an novice english girl has been heavily restored...
Any advice on starting from scratch - e-mail me with any tips( When you're not busy, obviously- having a lafitte will have clients knocking your door in, I know Micheal Stipe Loves it!!!!) will be both helpful and apprieciated, starting off from nothing - it's not even built yet, we're having a new structure built at the side of our cottage solely for this purpose....!

I echo Mike's sentiments! Welcome!

Oh...and I have a few updates (pics coming soon) including a new Pro-Ject turntable, Creek phono preamp and 50" plasma main display!

I've also started working on a few side rooms off of the mastering suite. They will be for the occassional artists that I might decide to record. No big scream bands or anything, just some occassional soloists/guitarists...you know...hokey folk music (like the guy on the staircase with the guitar in Animal House) and maybe some voice overs.

I have two other total rooms - one is around 9'x11' (I think...never really measured, just kinda guessing) and the other will be a vocal booth as it's only about 3' x 5'.

I'm in the process of wiring the rooms right now for individual mic and headphone patch points so my suite looks like an explosion in a spaghetti factory!

Oh well...I love the smell of solder in the morning.

Cheers

J.
