I'm wondering what will happen to the old studio space when 'rock moves

by **TimS** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:46 pm

Good point - whats happening with the old spaces Rick i.e TR and EA..

does bob ludwig have one of these ? not today , but i cannot speak about tommorrow , they are heavy to move around
and heavy to pay for :)

the entire building here at gibbens street will be 27 apartment buildings this time next year
there will be no studios here

thats life in a rented building , we could have bought it for 7 million but that would not have left any money over for buying toys :)
i am still working on securing the new location so all i can do is plan the equipment fitout

i have to raise a signifcant amount of money over the next 4-5 months which is why you are seeing our earlybird special.
we are working around the clock !
i dont think the trm 5 minute auctions will really change the balance sheet all that much :)
but lets see how the next one goes

Yeah, so?

That's *light* in the rackmount world.

Some of the big (internet) routers I deal with are 1/3 to 1/2 rack and well over 200KG full.

The real question is how long before he takes the back off to figure out how it works! Oh the temptation!

Hey Rick, is it made in China?

**** IRONY ALERT ****
Given the seriousness and lack of humour in some recent posts, the above comment is intended to have ironic content only. While analysing humour is like dissecting a frog (both tend to die in the process), this ironic content has been specifically highlighted as a public service in a genuine attempt to avoid my dance card from being suspended.

I still want to know what converter you used before this (and is it for sale?)

by **rick** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 1:13 pm

Man, that thing is huge. I saw it yesterday. The fricken power supply could light up Sydney.

Good shit Rick.

by **tunetown** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 9:26 am

No Prob's Rick. You can be so busy to give me an old pair of Neve's anyday. :-)

At least you've got plenty of work on.

Cheers

if you want to tell people you are using the maya sound or if you want to use there trademarks in your advertising
things need to be discussed
