Visiting
with two of my best friends, Tom Flye and Jimmy Messina. After
the show, I spent a day with Tom and his wife Hillary, and filled her in on how
Tom got me started in the console business 20 years ago at Rick James'
home studio..
After that, I went down to Jimmy's and stayed there for a few days, we
installed the new ShadowMix DAW powered motorized fader automation system in the 32 channel Tonelux
console. We then spent all day Wed cutting some demos on the
console.
Jimmy just installed some Pelonis monitors and with
those and the Tonelux, I have to say, it sounded real nice...

A
first for AES, Paul Reed Smith Guitars showed their new recording

The mix was handled by a Tonelux rig and other fine gear, with the sessions engineered by Bill Plummer.
