Wow, It’s amazing how long I’ll put up with little things during the making of a CD. Cables go bad and you just get a new cable for the moment to keep the session going, the little scratches in some pots in the console, and just general clutter of lead sheets, used ink cartridges, etc. Things are not in their little, and then, there’s the  “Well, do I really need THIS anymore? The triage that clears many little file cabinet slots, and used gear boxes.

So today is part two of this. Yesterday I got the machine room(where all the computers, printers, power supplies, parts bins,  and anything with a fan, or loud sounds, etc live). I re accomplished the cabling, and routing, and bought new parts bins, so it looks and feels better in there.

Also now, I can update some system software which you never want to do in the middle of a project for fear that it may somehow change how your music software works or doesn’t work.

And also now is the time for ergonomic change. Moving things around. Then the Console. It’s and old large frame AMEK mixing desk that I rebuilt. Analog consoles are great, but they DO need maintenance. So I’ll probably be tearing that apart later tomorrow through Thursday. Cleaning and replacing some faders, pots, and patchbay points. That’s going to be a lot of work. Yet once a year seems to do the trick.

Been wanting to do all of this for a bit. Now it’s time to roll up the sleeves again and get to it.
