Randy (seated) with Eddy Johnson SoundTrax Recording, Raleigh, NC, 1981 This 20 channel mixing board was originally custom made for RCA, Nashville. Check out the Ampex 2" 16 Track in background and Ampex 440 in foreground. Ah yes, ANALOG.
The main studio at SoundTrax. This room used to be the dance floor and stage of a large night club. The cool thing was all the musicinas would come in and remember when it as the "Night Train" or "The Wagon Wheel" or some other name where they used to play gigs.

The "B" room at SoundTrax where I honed my engineering chops. Here I am laying a bass track onto a Tascam 4-track reel to reel. State of the Art 1983 Baby. Note the Pignose amp miked with a SM58.

Mixing on the API board at Pyramid Studio, midtown Manhattan, NYC, 2002. That's a vintage API mix board and wow does it sound good. I mixed one project here and also did some overdubs for another project.
With Todd, owner of Pyramid.
They have a bunch of nice vintage gear including a rack of Neve modules. They have a great place and I recommend it if you are recording in NYC. You can walk to the Empire State Bldg from this studio.
The live room room at Media-Wide Productions, a studio I opened in Durham, NC, 1990. It was a short lived enterprise that soon morphed into SoundWave when I moved down the road to Chapel Hil in 199l.
The control room at Media-Wide, 1990. That's a CAD Maxcon II mix board and we had a 1/2" 16 track analog recorder. But we also had the latest in digital editing, Sound Tools by Digidesign, 2 Track editing. Cool, huh?
