something entirely new: recording horns

Getting ready to try to record horns in my personal studio – a trumpet and a trombone. Frankly, I’m not sure this is going to work. But Shoreline decided we couldn’t use their facilities once they found out there was money involved, which limited our options pretty dramatically – here, the park by the lake, maybe on the bus? That’d add a unique sound – but one way or another, we’re trying it.
Maybe it’s for the best we didn’t get to use Shoreline’s studio. I’ve always used virtual boards, and when I walked into the control room at Shoreline, it was kind of like this:

so many switches
…only much bigger, because they have had some upgrades. Apparently Paul Allen gave them a bunch of stuff and I was all, “…I know what all these knobs do… in theory…”
So, yeah! My studio it is. Wish us luck.

Yikes! Any music mixing device might as well be Forerunner technology to me, but that does look intimidating…
This is an actual photo of the same make and model of board. I’m not sure it’s any less intimidating than the above. Only Shoreline’s is fully populated (Even! More! Rows! Of! Knobs!).
Oh. Em. Gee.
It has the Slidey Things.
