Dark Pines Studio/DM Mobile Blog

Ladies and Gentlemen, Long time thread watchers and first time visitors alike,
I am going to call the studio build done at this time. (for all practical purposes, lets call the date 5/1/10)
I will no longer be updating this site, and when I do, it will likely only to update this particular entry with back links […]

The Womb Warming/Grand Opening is FAST approaching!
The place is really starting to shape up and come together. I just hope it’s enough… and fast enough!)
The bridge is almost done, and the landscaping around the fire pit is coming along nicely. (I know, I know… no pix or it didn’t happen)
I ran into a minor snag […]

Well…
I had several folks suggest that the studio is purdy enuf to submit to Mix Magazine’s “Class of 2010″… I’m certainly happy with the (just about) end results, but I didn’t think theplace was THAT pretty… but with some prodding…

OOOOOF!!!
My body is achin’……. bad…… but my brane bukit is happy!!!!

I’ve also been busy getting quite a few “biz” items […]

Major disappointment on Friday and Saturday…. oooof.
I discovered that the batteries in my UPS units had not been disconnected as I had previously been told, prior to putting them in storage. ARRRRGH!
It’s my own fault for not double checking them, but I was told that they were disconnected. And the units failed to display any […]

Just a quick update on the goings on an’ happenings…
Things are S L O W L Y still coming together.
I’m still working on getting all the external rack gear wired up. I seem to have an issue where the 2nd converter doesn’t want to hold it’s configuration changes. It’s rather irritating to have […]

Sorry about the lack of updates. I’ve been pretty well head down diggin’ to get ready for the first tracking session in the new studio.
On Sunday January 10th, 2010, we achieved the ultimate goal of making our first recording in the new studio.
It was both nerve wracking and one of the most rewarding events I’ve […]
