BILL HOLLAND: What’s hiding behind the panels over here?

ALBERT FOX: This is part of a recent update that we did. This old room had -- was plagued with just bad acoustics in here, so we had somebody come in and basically, you know, set up traps up here since we’re avoiding some nasty reflections, and then hide the computer that we have, you know, away from the fan and everything so that we’re not, you know, hearing the fan noise and all that stuff because it does get irritating, you know, having to listen to like multiple computers all day and fans and drives and everything so, you know, it makes it so you actually have to physically move to get up and put in a CD but that’s okay. You know, we need some movement.

There’s more stuff, yeah. So, we have some of the old stuff left over. I mean most of what we do now is I would say 90% software with some of the stuff left over. This is a rack mounted Minimoog here, and this guy up here I believe is an [OVERLAPPING]

BILL HOLLAND: That’s this guy right here?

ALBERT FOX: This is a, yeah, rack-mounted Mini here. It’s basically -- I think this was done by Midiman. I don't know if that’s Midiman that turned into M-Audio or a separate thing but, and this is I believe the ATC-1. I think this is the Prophet 5 version. There’s like a little cartridge you can put into the back and you can turn it into an ARP 2600 or something, and then a JV-2080 which was a real staple for many years around here, the 1080 then 2080, and also the Proteus 2008. And we have a setup similar to this in pretty much every room so that way if we needed to work on something or edit something remotely, we could do it, so that’s what we have in here and a whole bunch of I/O’s. This is --

BILL HOLLAND: You got the MOTU -- What is that? EQs?

ALBERT FOX: Yeah. We got the MOTUs. These are the 192s. A while ago, Mark decided to use Digital Performer, but he tried for about a year or so and decided to give up. Most of us and a lot of the younger guys in the studio use -- I guess some part of the younger guys, I don't know. I’ve been here for 10 years. I’m starting to feel not so young anymore, but the younger guys use Logic and we were finally able to convince him to switch to Logic because he had a question about Performer and nobody could answer him, and you know that we’d have to call a product specialist all the time like, “Hey, how do you do this?” so now if he has a question and any, you know, like there’s four people in the building that could answer him.

Yeah. Some more legacy stuff over here. A 3700 DAT machine. For those of you who don’t know [LAUGHING], most of the mixes that we used to do, all the stereo mixes were done originally on DAT and then back in the day with my job, we’ll take them out of here and transfer them in another room and burn a CD or make files, you know, send as an MP3 or for client approval. And so this is some of the older stuff left over. Some older pro tools that you can see are the 808 boxes and a Rosendhal here, our Nanosync, and also some Pro Tools HD stuff down there.

And what else? Patch bay, more computers over here, and we have -- This is like an older -- We still -- Yes, we still have an old G4 that runs Studio Vision. Studio Vision was Mark’s favorite software, and he for the longest time wouldn’t switch.

BILL HOLLAND: Oh really?

ALBERT FOX: And that’s why he went to performer because it reminded him a lot of Studio Vision. It looked very similar but unfortunately we couldn’t really get it to, you know, behave the way that we wanted it to, so he eventually made the switch to Logic.
