big studio experience

[soulata]

hi

yesterday I got to work in a really good studio (well equiped, nice rooms...) - my first time as an "engineer" (which I'm not and won't be but still interesting).

The story: I record a lot in the studio as an arranger and sax player, but this time my friend asked me to supervise his session.

First surprise: after half an hour of setting up the mics, the studio owner said to me: "I see you're doing fine, I gotta go, call me if anything goes wrong". I didn't even know the signal path...luckily he was kind enough to show me (5mins) how thing roughly go and voila...imagine me looking at all the gear and the biiiiiiiig mixing desk and enormous patchbay. it was maybe too much routing to get the signal into computer but it followed a certain logic so it's ok.

Anyway, things went smoothly. I'll tell you more when the mixing starts.

btw, got to use manleys, fatso and distressors, can't say much right now tho.
