I'd get my money back for that wide angle lens.
Other than that...cool, thanks for the tour!

 No kidding on the lens.  I can never remember what way to hold them iPhones.  I guess its straight up and down as you would talk to get it to come out correct.


Thanks

PHONE!! Man I'm lucky to get a call to go through....you're doing great! When I turn mine on it'll tell me I have messages
but when I push the get messages it wants password and stuff so I turn it off.

Yeah those old American made Mackie's have some very nice and distinct sounding pres on them. It's why I snagged mine. Got it for a really good price and it was in PERFECT condition which is rare. Looks like yours has been well taken care of too. I've been concerned about "coloring" my mixes with it but yanno sometimes you want that color. I like the pres on my Focusrite but once I have more room it'll be nice to experiment with all my older gear. I've just been doing everything line in for now while I learn and to check out the quality which is definitely passable but I have a feeling I'm gonna be able to get far more interesting and creative tones once I start adding things to the chain. Can't wait. Anyway, cool set up. The only real thing I'd be worried about is all the bare concrete but that easy enough to solve. You can just even staple some old linens to those slats of wood on the wall to reduce some of the noise bouncing around. I can hear the echo in the vid. If you're micing stuff it might be something you should try to reign in a bit. Cheers!

Hey Mike
In my space I needed clouds and a rug on the floor.  I couldn't believe how much high and low end reflections the room had.   I used Ready Acoustics to build my traps.  They supply the material or build the traps for you.

CLOUDS  hung 4" from ceiling above desk . . .

Thanks Kev

I guess the easiest way for me would be to put together the clouds.  I have a rug down already that takes up most of the floor so should be good there.

Im going to check out the link ya gave and see what they have.

Is that the CR-1604?  I have that one as well, but I don't have the extra mic pre module (they're hard to find now).  I bought it used from someone here on the forum - don't even remember who now, he's not a regular any more.  but I don't use the mic pres in recording anyway.  I might look at trying, tho, based on what you're saying here.
