Geez, first the front page of WSJ, now the back page of Keyboard mag.

For those of you who don't get/read Keyboard magazine, they have this
thing on the back page called "Workspace".

Each month they profile somebody's studio, given the slant of the mag
usually it's a studio with a somewhat keyboard/synth centric vibe.

They tend to profile a lot of LA places, people doing soundtrack and
TV work that kind of stuff.

Frankly it was beginning to bore the **** out of me because it was
mostly people going "I'm running a Brand XXX Digital console with Pro
Tools, all the best plugins, Avalon preamps, etc."

I mean many of these rooms are working rooms doing "Post" type of
stuff so I can see being mostly digital is needed for their workflow.
But once you've seen and heard about three or four of these things it
just gets kind of boring.

I was at the point where I was going to send a letter to the mag and
tell them "enough with the digithead/pro Tools/plugin/nordlead
studios, everybody has one of those, how about showing us a room with
a kickass analog console, REAL vintage outboard (not stuff you can buy
at GC), some cool modular and analog synth gear, etc."

Lo and behold I open up the mag and go "wow that looks like Guido's
Trident 80"

Sure enough, nice big full page spread, with some quotes, pics of the
studio and some of the modulars, etc.

He got a chance to pimp Lucky Man Clark and the "Thelonious Moog" CD's
too so that was cool.

Congrats Guido and thanks for saving me from another month of looking
at some guy's Pro Tools rig hooked up to a D8B.
