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…
I put the polish on the place and took some pix, filled out the form, answered […]

OOOOOF!!!
My body is achin’……. bad…… but my brane bukit is happy!!!!
Yesterday was insane paced, but it was worth it.
It is supposed to rain all day Friday, so getting the gobo’s ready to paint is the priority.
So, while I was waiting on Sam to come in, I figured I’d drag the gobo’s outside, sand em’ and […]

Wow… I just realized that I haven’t updated the blog here since February…
We’re now on Facebook as Dark Pines Studio,  and the new DarkPinesStudio.com website is in final testing… so those have been getting updates as well as posts to the studio build blog at Recording.org.
I’ve also been busy getting quite a few “biz” items […]

I don’t understand a lot in life, but last nights Grammy Show really leaves me in major face palm posture.

Was she set up to be exposed […]

Today’s tracking session pix…

That blue eyed monster is the REDDI…. WICKED Bass!!

Yes, that’s a sax in the control room!

The SF-12 on overheads… butter!

P12 through an Avalon for sax scratch runs… was crushed by the P2247 through a 1073… with the natural verb of the lounge (SF-12 through the Great River MP2MH)… very tasty!

I didn’t use […]

We wish you each a quiet and peaceful Merry Christmas.
Here’s some pix over the last couple of days… (It looks like maybe I can actually add pix again.)

YUK!
It’s the first really possible chance for NASTY weather today… More *&^@%@ rain is here… but there’s possibly some snow on the way!
We could possibly get 1″-3″ of snow!
Now, you folks in colder climates are probably chuckling at the sound of that little snow and can’t understand why we panic here.
Lemme do some s’plainin’ Lucy…
First, […]
