Is this considered an Accredited Institution
I just would like to Know from One of Our Mentor’s is Mastering.com an Accredited Institution? Cuz it sure is in My Book. The reason I ask is cuz I want to see if My Job will fit the Bill for My Tuition for TRE course. @Rob Mayzes & @Caleb Loveless

@Tom Baldwin I'll bet at this point in life, Mick, Keef, and Ronnie have all been satisfied. 🤣

@Tom Baldwin I worry bout what kind of world we're going to leave for Keith Richards and Willie Nelson.
Space…The Final Frontier…sans reverb
Things keep moving around in here. Some more than once. I have several IKEA shelves and 2 corner units. I’m in the midst of migrating them into the area that will become my vox booth sometime soon. I have read several articles stating that full bookshelves are good for sound control. I don’t know for certain when it will be complete but I see light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not an oncoming freight train. Then again. Is a studio ever really done? So here are some pics and explanations. I originally shot a video but there is too much movement and some shakiness that can cause one’s stomach to reach AKA Hurlcam. Pic 1. Slant shelf I built decades ago. It has 15 spaces per side. Still serves its purpose. Once I figure where the console is going, I’ll have a better idea where it go…along with another 26 unit rack. Pic 2. These shelves will be migrating downstairs to the vox area. I can’t call it à booth yet per se. Pic 3. Looking from the vertex down one ray from where the drums will live. Pic 4. My console which is yet to be moved.along with my MiniMoog atop a Westlake BBSM-10. That’s a very good jazz base copy. There is a Strat of the same type to the right of kit. Pic 5. My Baby. 1967 Fwnder Tremolux and two bandmaster 2 x 12 cabs. I don’t remember if I’ve said this before but…I bought the lower cab at a garage sale in LaGrange, IL for $5 bucks. It was in good condition. I figured for $5 it was worth it, even if it was empty. I paid the guy running the sale with his wife. I asked why so cheap. He said they were selling everything to move, even stuff that belonged to their son. The son never picked it up. When I lifted it to go in the car, it was heavy as hell. Hmmmm. Got it hom, laid it face down, opened up the back and saw a JBL D120 and an EVM12. Best five bucks I ever spent. Pic 6. my newly modified bass rig. Top head is a Crate B150. These were good amps in the day. This one needs to be recapped. Below that is a Sunn Coliseum Bass head. 320 watts of raw power. This thing is Loud as hell. Next level down is a Crate BX410. 4 x 10”. I bought it two weeks ago for $60. The bottom box is a Peavey 115 Black Widow. It sounds good. A friend came over a couple of days ago with a ‘75 Gibson Grabber and a 64’ Precision. He’s a much better bassist than me. He put it through the paces. Passes with flying colors.

@Tom Baldwin Wow! Good eye!! It definitely has a home. I bought that a couple years ago through Facebook Marketplace. There are definitely deals to be found there. The drums came that way too. As did the 410 cab a couple of weeks ago.

@John Utter Thanks for the kind words! During the 80's and 90's I primarily worked on broadcast commercials. We were not cheap at that time. We charged $600 for an hour of VO recording. That got you one channel on a board, a limiter, and recording straight to disk. Chicago VO talent were such that they could nail a script in the first five takes. That $699/hour rate helped to pay the $225K lease for the D2D. I remember when we upgraded the drives, that was incredibly expensive. I don't remember if it was a 1MB to 10 MB growth or 10 to 100. When we look at 2 TB drives for $129 or less, it's mind boggling. I started with DOS and an MPU104 interface on an original IBM PC. In '84 I took delivery of my new Mac (first model) and ran Opcode software. That was the cat's butt for me. The democratization of music equipment over the years has been fantastic. I use Logic and too many plugins along with all of this wonderful vintage analog gear. So it's a big hybid set up for me.
Cissy Strut
Apparently the algo=rhythm is keyed on Cissy Strut from my watches... Well here goes... Damn... Forget the rest including people that have signature guitars. Disclaimer. Nathan East is one of my favorite bass players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcCXd8Wrkd8&list=RDpcCXd8Wrkd8&start_radio=1 BTW, The drummer, I am not familiar with at all, deserves a gold medal. How he held all that together is incredible.

@Tom Baldwin yeah, Freddie was a monster. I love what the Hammond player is doing too.

That was a great 12 minute distraction while running cable down here in the museum. They're on tour right now. Chicago is on Nov 14th in Skokie. Every time that I've seen them, every song had a different arrangement. Nothing is cut and dry...or simple. Watching Bill Payne's hands is magic. That solo is really awesome!!! My two favorite pianists are Bill Payne and Bruce Hornsby. I would give anything to see the two of them on a stage with two Steinways. That would be something!. Tried to talk my partner into blowing off a fundraiser on the 14th. Nothing doing. Maybe I'll snag a ticket and go myself....providing the home penalty isn't too high LOL! Just checked, only 1% of tix left. Maybe try for another city. Ft. Wayne the night before and Champaign at the Virginia Theatre on Sunday the 15th. Then they hit the east coast!
