Had a great week in NY /NJ! Worked at Showplace Studios, Portrait Studios, Danny Pierre’s studio, Ron Saint Germain’s studio, and Taylor Made Productions studio. I also got to see Toxic Monkey at the Iridium which was a blast!! Glad to see them all and visit for a bit. Now on to upstate NY for the second half of my tour!
Workin’ Jersey.... and baby it’s cold outside!
Tell Saint the Sprocket boys say hello.
If it’s broke Dave can fix it!
Upstate NY from here...
nice down here!
Hope all is well man!
Looks like Amek colors
Coming through CT?
I think I might need a map with detailed directions.
It’s COLD in Nashville... 🥶Testing out a shop heater!
I have a extra stove top giddle I could send you if you wanna cook some bacon and eggs.
They get warm..
Amek ?
I have several those heaters
1.21 Jiggawatts? 🤔
I have a couple in my truck
I need to get the other one sent to ya.
Very clever, love it.
“Chestnuts roasting on a dummy load...” 🎶
The Neve Heat Unit we have puts out 750 Watts. Nice in late November!
So, you have an analog console.....
After what I have seen in the past week, nothing is more inviting to mice and rats than consoles and power supplies as the weather turns colder. I have cleaned more rodent crap and urine (and dog food!) out of consoles this week than I want to see for a while. Traps, poison, peppermint oil, cats, or whatever it takes, please prepare for winter invasion! Oh yeah, did I mention how they like to chew on cabling???
how about every console comes with a cat
I have a STUDIO cat.. that can open and close the doors..
I thought power supplies were driven by hamsters on wheels?
It’s actually the tape transports in the hipster studios that use the hamsters.
Totally agree that’s what happened to my Studer 827 gold edition
Snacking on caps too! Poof!!!!
Do not USE POISON!!!! Other animals will eat the rats and It will kill them!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!! Hawks,Eagles etc......Eat them also!
Mice love wires. Years ago my DAW quit one day, no power. Opened it up found a dead mouse chewing on the power supply ribbon. Must've killed the bugger instantly. What's up with the dog food??!
So what are you insinuating?
Here is a nice article from a few months back about my friend Fred Story, written by another friend Mr. Steve Harvey. I must have been on the road when that issue arrived.... enjoy!

Concentrix’s Story Comes Full Circle

By Steve Harvey. With the impact of evolving production technologies, changes in the studio business model and the advent of the gig economy, Fred Story is putting his multiroom recording facility up ...
Fred is a good dude and a wonderful composer.
I know this story first hand very well.... Thanks for sharing.
Acoustical treatments and PA going in at a Synagogue in Asheville NC. Visited several clients in Charlotte and western NC last week. Great time of year to visit that area!
Looks beautiful Dave... Great work as usual.
I see a genie lift 🙂
Awesome
Cool ceiling!
Dang I wish I knew you were in town... I still need to get that rascal 85-16 sorted out
The last couple of weeks have been busy for us at TAS. Repairs and cleaning on an AMEK Media 51 for David Chester of Chalet Studios, who drove it down to TN from Canada. Then Donnie Duncan and I built patch bays for a BIG 44 console installation for Dennis Hensley at Jordan Recording in KY, and then drove there to install it all. Also stopped in at Sonic Lounge in OH and helped Joe Viers with a few issues on their AMEK 9098i. Snapped a few photos of their studio space with the new lighting installed by his partner Barry M Damron. Back at the shop working on repairs and drawings for a new rehearsal facility in Chicago. Thankful for all the work!
So proud of you David. Thankful that you have a job that you LOVE. Keep up the good work. LOVE you.
Had a great trip to Florida!
Started the previous week off with a Toto concert in Nashville with my friend Luke Beaulac followed by a road trip to his Evermore Sound Studios in Orlando. A few tweaks on his AMEK Mozart and he’s good to go. Big things happening there for sure! Luke is a go getter.
From there it was down to Pompano to Powerstation to give some love to their super large AMEK 9098i and Media 51. Those guys all pitched in and we got allot done while I was there. Rob Roy runs a tight ship!
From there down to North Miami to see Reggae legend Willie Lindo and his son Kachief. Some cleaning and alignment on the AMEK BIG and they are back to Keepin’ da Riddum.
Last stop on the tour was with (The Metal Man) Eric Rutan at Mana Recording. Got his AMEK Mozart console all tuned up AND had some fun! These photos were on my birthday on the dock that is out his front door at Madera Beach. We had a great dinner with his wife Mary at Dockside Dave’s which is highly recommended by THIS Dave!
Till next time Florida!
Spent last week in a very hot Tulsa OK (Bixby) working on acoustical treatment for Blue Flame Church in their new facility. It is a really nice building on several hundred acres. All the folks on the job and members were super nice and happy with our work. We wish them all the best in their new space!
