Even Diabetics Love Sweet Dynamite Dynaudio Monitors!


Dynaudio Monitors
New pair of BM15Ps in the house!
For anyone monitoring for any changes here at the studio, we're very happy to announce that we've acquired some new monitors! The control room now features Dynaudio BM15P monitors for your playback pleasure.

I've made a point to ask the wide-spectrum of engineers that have come through our facility their opinion of what monitors work for them. Nearly everyone had a different answer of course. Dynaudios were consistently mentioned on most engineer's short lists for ideal monitoring choices.

It would appear then, that the studio is a Democracy. Please vote for Vibe 56 for your next recording project!

Thrownin' Down on the Upright


Thrownin' Down on the Upright Piano
...soundtrack of my life.
The studio has acquired a second piano! In addition to our all white Yahmaha C3 baby grand, we now have a Thos. Goggan and Bro. upright piano.

Tony Harrell, one of the co-owners of the studio, arranged to have this ridiculously beautiful upright delivered to us earlier this week. It has a few battle scars from many years of service. I'm not exactly sure how old it is, but it appears older than I am, which is getting increasingly more difficult to say.

With regards to keyboarded instruments living here at the studio, I think we're doing pretty good. Along with the two pianos in our aptly-named piano room, there is also a Wurlitzer, a B-2 with leslie cabinet, a Rhodes, and even a Mellotron available to every client that comes through our doors.

Now we need to get this thing tuned. I'm off to call a soon-to-be-unhappy piano tuner. Our new upright needs some extra love after traveling to its new home.
