The top of the pile in my 'What's Next for the Recording Studio?' list
Well, we are adding all of the paint, the draperies, room-tuning baffles and other niceties to the Creative COW's new audio facility, Mancave Recording Studios. Soon I will roll-out the COW's 'Building a Recording Studio' series of articles and it will be very cool as we took hundreds of photos documenting every step. We will address the subject in bite-sized pieces and each article will cover one aspect of building a professional recording studio. Now that that is over, what's up next? The mixer and soundboard is next on the list. What have we decided on? The Euphonix System 5-MC is where we are heading. Why? The system is able to control multiple software tools and operating systems, so that our existing purchases of Steinberg Nuendo and Apple Logic will work alongside the upcoming Digidesign ProTools system we will be adding down the road. If you haven't had a chance to check out the Euphonix boards in action, there are demo videos online at http://www.euphonix.com/pro/music/video.php
All of us here at Creative COW are very excited to see the Mancave nearing completion. Next, I'll have to fly Tim Wilson out from Boston so that the two of us can get lost for days in the new facility. (Tim's about as big a music freak as I am, so I have a feeling that talking him into coming West won't be all that hard.)

sanzip really needs to figure out how to use existing protools LE/HD systems with logic, or if that's even possible. he wants to try it, and i keep pressuring him to learn logic cause i am an apple fan boy, even though i like the results the boys can produce using digidesign software/hardware. i just don't like the company really...like waiting us wait all that time for the leopard release of protools...that was a joke!
congrats on all that, nice board by the way ooh la la. but i just wanted to comment on the importance of your upcoming step by step...my brother in law built phoenix studios (our current home) just from researching on the internet. he's a real audio engineer but has never been outside of Nepal/India region to see how real studios work, but he sure came pretty darn close to building a western-standard studio here in kathmandoodoo. so my point is that ur putting out that info could help dozens of other recording engineers/studios around the world in developing countries especially, get up to speed and help them create world-class recording studios. cheers!
