The more time I’ve had to think on it, the more impressed I’ve become with the Chandler REDD. Of course, tastes and needs may vary, but Chandler has my confidence now for sure, so it’ll be fun to see what they do next.
The best “budget” mic I’ve heard recently is the $700 Lewitt 640, hell, even their $250 model sounds right.

I met with Jeremy Gillespie at AES toda and we hung out at Jeff Steiger‘s booth for quite a while. It was great to see him there and see all the super cool CAPI gear.

Dang. We should have exchanged cell numbers. I would have really enjoyed meeting up. Have you gone home? I’ll be there tomorrow and Friday for a little while.

Wish I could have stuck around longer. Here's the photo album from the trip. imgur.com/a/59FbqVdThe Loop Trotter 500 console looks pretty cool. Softube Console 1 seemed really nice. CAPI obviously. Paul Wolf Fix console was cool. They Dynaudio and Amphion booths were strong. Dug the WA73. THE Fearn and Hazelerig (sp) booth was cool. The Thermionic Culture Kite seems like a total 100% hit. If anyone else is going, pop over to the Audio Builders Workshop booth and look for my guys Dereck ( quiethouse) and Owen who runs BOSTON AES. Parsons Audio in Boston(ish) is having an expo on the 7th if anyone wants to swing up and party. Maybe we could do an after party at my place.

Also notable, there were a bunch of companies that I expected to see, but were missing.
Slate, M1 Distribution (Barefoot, Inward Connections, Shadow Hills, etc), Retro Instruments, Aurora Audio, PMI (Tonelux, Trident, JoeMeek), and probably some others that I'm forgetting.

Went and wandered yesterday, hung out with Geoff Daking and Dan Zelleman for a while. Bumped into Andrew Scheps and Tchad Blake, whilst talking with Larry Crane about some opportunities. Saw Bill Cammack and a few other online friends in person. Was supposed to meet up with some A listers but their schedules didn't work out. Saw some interesting gear. There's a nice interface company called ESI that I hung out with for a bit. Made some new buddies, saw some good friends. Still not 100% certain about the viability of doing AES as an exhibitor. Chatted with Peterson from DIYRE, talking about components, some of his color modules, possibly making one and just how funny all of this competition turns out to be since we are all just a bunch of really passionate engineers who love making music and love gear. Hung with my trade show cuzzin from UA at their booth. Saw at least 3 absolutely atrocious outfits that gave me nightmares and realized that either AES is shrinking or my legs have grown longer. Its still something I look forward too as a walker/gawker.
But after doing a smaller but WAY more interactive and connective show like Knobcon where you can sell gear at, I'm realizing more and more that if I can justify the cost, I'd love to do something like NAMM, but also I really like dealing with people in a more intimate and fun setting. When I saw my first AES in 2011 it was beyond anything I'd imagined it to be. A bunch of my buddies who were there have now since passed away and equally, the budgets, the investment and the marketplace are so vastly different that sometimes its hard to look at things with an open mind.
I really get bummed to a degree when computer screens and software dominate a show that was originally the ultimate gear head's Mecca. Things are different now. But I'm still going. Moreso than anything I now go to network and just give people my time. Too many of the legends, the greats and the sages of what made this industry are fading away into history, sometimes after a long life, sometimes a short one. And I've made a pact with myself to give people the energy and time they deserve, especially those that I highly respect and have admiration for. I'll try to head over again today, but its time table dependent. Not having a Saturday, really hurts a guy like me. I'm a consummate workaholic and between my day job as a school director and Handsome Audio, sometimes a Saturday is a nice thing to have. I'm sure its true for the full time studio cats and producers too! If they are going to keep it in NY forever, then bring back the weekends. Otherwise I fear the show will be like this year, with high interest and then the following year will be like last year, with low numbers of vendors and lower numbers of attendees. I pray that doesn't become the case though, I love AES.

Xlnt post Langston. Human connection is everything to me in this world that has been overtaken by ones and zeroes. I flew in early this morning and was planning to go today. But as soon as I got into my apartment- realized I needed sleep. So, I'll be going tomorrow (Friday). Hopefully the last exhibit day will be as lively as the first 2 and not dwindled down and lethargic. Like I was today haaa.

As the former gearpimp I will say it is hard to justify a the cost of a show like NAMM for a small company like yours, but if you can find somebody to split a booth with the exposure and the hands on experience is worth its weight in gold, but always keep in mind NAMM is show for dealers.

I was back again today and this thing totally blew me away www.whitestoneaudio.comI turned around after checking out the Fix console and saw Kim Rosen (badass mastering engineer) twisting knobs on it - when she took her headphones off I introduced myself - I’ve sent my past 2 projects to her. Anyway she starts telling me about the piece and I didn’t even realize she and her husband had designed it. I spent about 5 mins messing about with it. Serious gas for this thing!! And made by good people so that’s always a plus 👍🏻
