The old Recording Studio (1998-2002)
My old recording studio was located in at parents home. I started building it in 1998, it became operational from in 2000 and was used from 2000-2002.
I produced a few albums and demo CDs. Shortly after buying new equipment in 2001 I started to focus more and more on software so that I didn't have enough time for the studio anymore.
The control room was only 4 x 3 meters without any real accoustic treatment. Photo: Technics 1210 MK II turntable.
The studio offered 24 track digital recording. You can see the Tascam DA-88 and DA-38 digital 8-track recorders in the back of the photo. 8 tracks were recorded on the DAW (Apple PowerMac G4, Motu 2408 and Emagic Logic 4/5).
The 32 channel inline mixing console was unique and hand made, it was designed and built by a professor from Luxembourg. It was really cool, not quite and SSL but still way better than all those semi-pro desks. 4-band semi-parametric EQs and compressors on all channels! I still own the desk, but I'm not using it anymore, it would need some repairing...
The Access Virus synth offers both great sound and a really good keyboard. I'm still using it today.
I focused a lot on the atmosphere of the studio when I built it. The pictures on the walls were oil paintings by myself. Today I'm not doing any painting anymore, I just ain't got the time...
That's me, during the "Fifteen/40" CD production. Note the Yamaha NS-10M studio speakers on the rights, which are now installed in my new studio.
The recording room, about 7 x 4 meters. This was also the Pagan Lorn rehearsal room.
