Got some "finished" photos from Gar Ragland at Citizen Studios in Asheville NC. The renovated WWNC radio studio worked great as the control room for Gar and the way he works and records. The Rupert Neve Designs 5088 and the ATC speakers brought it all together. The large adjacent space is wired and ready to record in, and the venue on the first floor will be as well, once that renovation is completed. There will be Citizen Vinyl, a vinyl pressing facility that can be viewed by visitors, as well as a record store on the first floor as well. It has been a great project to be involved with!
No wall treatments or cloud?
Best of luck with your new studio. Looks great Dave.
Great job son
Thanks for posting!
Really nice Dave, geno
Very nice
Great!
Very cool !
Very cool!
The last few weeks has been busy with shop repairs on some Neve rack modules, AMEK Media 51 module recaps, an MPS 15 PSU repair or two, and a trip to Atlanta for a studio construction site visit. I also did an automation repair at Grey Cat Sound for Patrick Phillips on his 60 channel Media 51 in Peachtree City, GA. This next week... more shop repairs and acoustical design. Happy to be busy! DR
I just need to go ahead and get a mps unit for mine, and be done
Been thinking a lot about this, you have the coolest job in the world. Be safe out there.
Nice Media 51! I finally got both PS’s working.
You have a gift!!!
Man, that is a dream job!
Go man go!
Finally got back to Asheville NC to finish installing the Rupert Neve Designs 5088 at Citizen Studios. Gar Ragland has moved in! We finished the room acoustics a few months ago and received the console a few weeks ago. All the gear is hooked up and ready to go. I will post final “cleaned up” photos with the cool color changing LED art deco lights sometime soon.
I’m visiting Ashville soon. I’d like to check it out!
Very cool, Dave 👏🏼 Post a video with the monitors cranked up🎚
That’s a lot of room!
Nice!
Very sad to learn that my friend Ben Elliot of Showplace Studios in New Jersey has passed away. Ben was passionate about music and his craft as producer and engineer. He worked with and touched the lives of many musicians. Prayers for his family. Rest in peace Ben.
Sorry for your loss Dave. Prayers for his family.
So sorry Dave, be safe much Lov geno
Wow. I got my start working with Ben at Showplace. Damn. RIP brother.
O no! RIP Ben.
Nice guy. RIP.
God bless 🙏 Be safe !
So sad
Getting this beautiful beast taken apart and ready to move...
It is on the market for sale. 64 channels of sonic bliss!
Great memories for that particular model! Stay safe David!
Brings back great memories of sharing a pijiu or two in Beijing
Will it be cheaper to purchase it or recap it?
On man. Wish I had that money. Do you know how much they are asking.? That’s my favorite desk.
Maybe ours needs a little brother!😝
Ultimate design.
Best console 🙂
Wow
Ohhhh....delicious!!

We have spent the last few weeks in Asheville NC working on a new project for Citizen Studios. They will move into this space, which was formerly WWNC radio studios, and used to broadcast live music in the 40’s and 50’s. There is an adjacent studio space, as well as a sister venture on the 1st floor called Citizen Vinyl, which will be a vinyl record pressing plant. The facility will also house a record store, cafe, and small performance area. We are excited to be involved with this project. I will post finished photos when I return there next month.
wow! looking forward to checking this out!!
Oh wow...record stre and pressing plant...sweet!!
You and your team do excellent work Dave.
Looks really cool Dave
Saul Bello This is amazing
Looks incredible
Nice work !!
Had a great trip to CA. Spent a couple of weeks replacing bad capacitors in the AMEK 9098i at “The Hive” for the band 311. A big thank you to Mike Brady and Jason Walters for all their help. It was allot of hard work and I could not have done it without them!
I left Burbank and flew to Sacramento to see Will Mullins in Penryn. I took care of an issue or two on his AMEK Rembrandt and flew home late Tuesday night. Happy to be back in TN for now.
Next trip, NC!
Glad you are back home safely
Awesome sounding desk, had some music mix through one at SAINTS PLACE in NJ. KILLER!!!
Wow,, that is awesome,, you are truly Super Dave..
Those guys are super cool, I am sure you had a good hang !
Enjoying the warm weather of CA! Spent the last week visiting and repairing consoles for David Boucher & Mitchell Froom, Wyn Davis at Total Access, Clark Germain, Mark Viner, Raul Avalos, and Omar Rosales, plus I got to spend a few days with Andrew Fletcher and hang out at NAMM!
Today I am finishing up some repairs and upgrades for the incomparable Joe Vannelli on his AMEK G2520. This record made a huge impression on me as a young musician. It and many of their others are in my musical collection! Blessed to be able to work with all these folks!
Love ya Dave am doing good after surgery still healing but everything went about as good as it could, much Lov to you and Bonnie, and the family, will definitely be down to visit this year geno
Is Dave working with Mitchell now? That's cool! Dave and I went to college together.
So cool Dave, you are the Man.love that album too. How is Mr Fletcher doing after all these years. Remember the RN Recall?
Ready for your next trip back east !
Do you ever take anytime off. Lol
That’s awesome
Scheduling for an upcoming trip to California. If I can help you while I am there, please let me know as soon as possible!
Thanks!
