Welcome to the weekend, legends!
Very quickly - could all drummers please start bringing their own thrones to rehearsals? The Ludwig keeps coming apart and I don’t want anyone getting hurt over it.
I just wanna go over the Rules Of The PA for a second. Can everyone please remember - “Desk first, desk last” when it comes to powering things on and off. Recently I found both monitors turned to 11 (yes, they actually go to 11) and they had been left on when the desk was switched off. Must have caused an awful bang. Anyway, the tweeter driver in one side is now blown and has to go in for repair. So if we could all make sure we get the sequence right, that would be amazing.
As I write this, I have a very helpful chap putting my control room together in some semblance of a semi-functional studio - rather than the non-functional electric spaghetti that has been plaguing me for over a year. Which means I’ll be able to start doing recording sessions again and letting the place out for dry hire. So hooray for that!
Even better, I’ll be able to start putting the finishing touches on the place - that Bluetooth receiver, podcasting gear, maybe a screen for karaoke…who knows?
Have a great one rockstars…
