I've been seeing a lot of guys on YouTube with the Two Note Torpedo boxes for load/ cabinet emulation. Seems like this is a new category of gear that is taking off for home studios. Or even, apartment studios. I use the Torpedo Live in my stage rig and also recording. It's great. I met Guillaume Pille, Two-Notes owner, at Hellfest in France late June. Nice guy. Thanks for the feedback, Don!

So was there anything new at the actual store. I had a great talk with Dave Thomas about his new Neve style pre. He also had his CM800 prototype. The Roswell Delphos looked beautiful. I didn't get to try it out tho. I saw these portable acoustic drums called Traps. They aren't new But they are new to me. I thought they sounded fantastic for what they are! Some good seminars. The Dante folks are putting on a major push. Reverb.com sponsored the stage this year. They are getting bigger. Other than that, I saw a ton of new guitars and boutique amps, none of which I can afford. 🤑

Very cool stuff, Dave! Yeah, I didn't make it back to the booth as I was a little geeked out myself. lol. Hope to meet up with you soon, again! We got to spend some time at Ocean Way with our good friend, client and film music mixer Joseph Magee. How do big studios stay in business...by being smart!!! Ocean Way was built by Allan Sides and Gary Belz and sold to Belmont University in 2001. Allan and Gary probably realized that sustaining a large State of the Art Studio was becoming arduous as good sounding home studios become more prevelant and record budgets fell. Belmont still runs Ocean Way as a fully professional and fully maintained facility but its a tax write-off because Belmont students can apprentice there. So, Ocean Way does not need to make a profit to survive and keep all the gear in tip top shape. The maintenance staff is shared between the University next door and the studio complex. The best of the students get to intern at Ocean Way and Ocean Way always has good candidates to choose from for assistant engineering positions. Joseph was thrilled with his assistant who he nicknamed "Mr Diddles" because of his ability to program a computer and run Pro Tool at a blazing pace. Joseph really likes the big room at Ocean Way for tracking Orchestral ensembles. We hope to get our CM800T up against the Sony C800G then next time Joseph returns. Joseph is in Vancouver this week dubbing the music mixes to film for Lions Gate Pictures. However, he now lives in Nashville and cannot say enough about the level of musicianship that he got from the session players at Ocean Way for the film score. Cheers, Dave
