Thumbs up As far as days go, I've had worse......

Well, as far as days go, got to admit that I've had worse.......

Me. Peter Gabriel's studio (Real World). Mixing a tune over 2 days.











This is what you get for a few million quid. Quite simply the BEST hi-fi in the world


And a Swan paddling past your window :grin:

Dan :thumbsup:

Great tune made - just waiting for some authorisation as the copyright needs to be sorted
Console is worth roughly £300k - there's only 50-odd in the world!
Just one of the EQs (for those who don't "know" - EQ is a "bass, mid & treble adjuster") - a GML 8200, is £4500....
Then for other kit the prices just go up and up (along with the exclusivity and rarity).....

I gave up buying HiFi kit once I started working in studios - it's a pointless pursuit that will not be caught.
Where most audiophiles get caught out is that they can afford the toys, but not the £100ks to sort the acoustics in the room!!

yes, the volume goes to "11" - SSL loves Spinal Tap!!


Rather large monitors...... about 8ft tall. Yes 12" subs underneath (they're on other surfaces too! )


And shiny lights.

I have to use a big mixing console as my fat stubby fingers can't use the small stuff. I mash too many controls!

Very nice! I worked at Jay Kay's house on his recording studio in about 1998 and it was impressive but nowhere near as impressive as that!

My friend, Tom, played piano in the New Blood Orchestra on the recent tour with Peter and he had told me how impressive Real World was - nice to see it as well.

Very Very impressive, I'd love to lock myself away in there for a month or so and have a "proper" listen to my music collection
