Thanks man.

No video yet but I will do one when the studio is finished in a few weeks. The breakdown:

2 - BAE 1073MPF (MPF = mic pre/filter) very neve-ish. Great for anything you want gushy; bass, vocals, heavy guitars, toms, kick
1 - BAE 1023 - Basically a Neve 1073 with added eq points, the pre sounds virtually identical to the 1073MPF, one of the added eq points is an amazing 24k shelf, stunning for vocals, air for days with out the cheap plug in sound.
1 - Neve 1073 (vintage) - best all around pre in the rack. The BAE's are 95%, this is 100%. Ridiculous. Had Avedis completely clean it up and restore it, the rack and power supply. Just amazing for vocals, heavy guitars, bass, toms, kick
2 - API 312's (vintage) - If the neve had a perfect counterpart it is the 312. The 312 is everything the 1073 isn't; fast and hard. Amazing for female pop vocals, heavy guitars, snare, bass etc... The API and Neve in conjunction with a 57/421 is THE guitar sound IMO. Perfect!!!
1 - Montessi Blue 500 - Great for vocals, more forward version of the neve
1 - Montessi Red 500 - Great for heavy guitars and bass and floor tom. Great low end
1 - Shadow Hills Mono Gama - Utillity
1 - LaChapell 583s - Tube heaven, great for vintage vocals. Bass!
4 - A Designs Pacifica's - Similarly voiced to the API, great for female vocals and overs.

Completely awesome! What a transformation. Congrats, James!

We are making more head way with this. Set up the guitars, cleaned the live room and hung a drape off the ceiling (George Augspurger's idea and it worked like a charm), tiled the kitchen, ordered the fridge, painted doors and frames, put on the door knobs, cleaned up back room, etc... Good day, the live room sounds pretty amazing. Drums on Friday.

Hey James! Nice work. I'll have to drop by and give it a look next time I'm up at Dave Friedman's place. Shoot me an email with an address when you have a chance.

What an amazing day. It was all leading up to today, not sure how the room was going to sound but after tracking drums all day I now know I love this room. I had no idea how much better then my old room this would sound.
