Did you see our cameo in the Super Bowl?? Our trusty ol' Soundcraft Saffire analog mixing console had its last dance as a prop for Dr. Dre in this year's halftime show at SoFi Stadium. So many amazing records and memories associated with this board but a very fitting way to send it off!

Tape archiving made easier thanks to a DiGiCo console, Stadius 32-Bit A to D, and Digigrid MGB!

Thanks to Rubén Santa Cruz Jr. for his insight and inspiration on the setup. Thanks to Joseph Yun and Troy Kyoung Tae Choi for their film and editing work. My bandmates for the "tape music" and Deep Signal Studios for the archive challenge.

Mambo Sound started in 1980 as a small sound equipment rental business that operated from behind Whittaker Music Store located in Long Beach, CA. Originally dubbed ‘Steve’s Sound Systems’ I worked frat parties, local concerts and local dances while getting a Business degree at California State University Long Beach. and working fulltime at Whittaker music. During this time an opportunity arose to buy a fledgling 8-track recording studio. I cut my teeth making records on tape for what would become some of the southlands cooler bands.

I can't imagine the calibre of human
that would steal these microphones from a couple of guys whose sole purpose is to HELP their fellow muscians create and produce music.
I guess it takes all kinds to make up a society based, I'm guessing, on having a conscience and ethics of which the low life thieving class has neither.
