Redoing the production studio!
We’ve started work on the rebuild of our production studio at the radio station. Over the course of the last two Sundays, we’ve completely emptied out the room and put all of the equipment into storage. It was a long process just to get everything out, but it was also fun to find all of the old stuff in there from way back when. There were a lot of little bits of history in there.
I am a little sad to see it go though. When I first started at the station in the Fall of 2001, that was the air studio. As crappy as it was, it was awesome to me. I had fun just being on the radio. The next Spring when we got the new studio on the air, it was like going from rags to riches, but there was always part of me that was tied to the now production studio. That’s not to say that I didn’t hate having to do shows in there when there was training going on. Nothing would EVER work when I went in there and my shows would sound horrible, but it sure kept me on my toes!
In a few weeks, we should have the new furniture installed and then we can start putting all of the equipment in. I’m pretty excited for this actually. As nerdy as it sounds, the new studio is going to look bad ass. When you’re sitting at the console, you will have racks filled with equipment on either side of you and four LCD screens in front of you. There will be a screen for Google’s automation system, Pro Tools, ELCRo (my software) and a general use one for the general production computer. It’s going to be intense! And I can’t say that having the design tweaked to have a dedicated computer for the software that I created isn’t a bit flattering.
