I just finished all of the little things that have been bothering me since I finished construction of the studio.  I did all kinds of drywall work, touch-up paint, and adding additional insulation where it was needed.

I also built a large 6′ x 3′ studio baffle (aka gobo) on wheels.  It can be moved to wherever in the studio it is needed.  There is one absorptive side and one reflective side.  There are very useful for dialing in the acoustic environment for sessions and separating instruments from one another during tracking.

There has been so much activity lately that I have not had a chance to make individule posts for each one.

I will be popping up on several different shows this month promoting the studio and the Home Recording Show.  Most of what I have done has already been recorded and will be coming soon.

I finished up the grounding issue that I found in one of the ribbon microphone modifications that I just finished.  Adding a little jumper wire did the trick.  I love the simple fixes that just work the first time out.

Cameron Mooney just came by with a Rhodes keyboard.  I am going to break out the soldering iron to fix a few shorts that have made the beautiful instrument not preform as it should.  It will be with me for the next month or so and I plan to play with it as much as time will allow while it is with me.  One day, I will certainly have one for the studio.

As we recommended on the podcast, I got the Steven Slate drum package.  There are so many great drum sounds that will certainly be used on many sessions going forward.  There is a great Zeppelin kit that is so close to that When the Levee Breaks sound.

Plans and materials for construction of gobos and a new equipment rack have been put together.  Now I just need the time to actually build them.

Far less exciting, but still something worth mentioning is that I completel refinished the bathroom floor in the studio.  All of the grout work is as it should be and sealed.  It was actually more of a dramatic end result than I had expected before I started.
