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.
