The patch cords are plugged in getting ready for a new recording.

Shot created for Macro Monday's - Socket Theme.

This is a 10 pin Hirose, output and return socket for a Sound Devices 552 mixer.

This was my everyday mixer while working back in the mid 2000's to early 2010's. These are very good machines and they last a long time. This one still works perfectly to this day. It just isn't a very good recorder like my current SD 668.

Shot using a Canon FD 50mm f3.5 SSC lens and a 5mm extension tube.

The cords are patched and the recording is about to begin.

Taking the top off & seeing what's underneath the hood.

The frog sits atop the studio gear prior to a session.

Flipping the 🐦 on the console; I guess it didn't like the mix.

Getting ready to press record.

I don't like the looks of this; she does not have a very optimistic look on her face; this does not look promising.

The levels are going up during a recent recording session.

It's like a traffic light & gas pedal all in one; the lovely Leslie Combo Pre-Amp.

Pressing the buttons and sliding the slider during a recent recording session.

Flicking the switch on some vintage audio gear.

Buttons to press, switches to flick and levers to pull; hope it turns out alright.

Some handsome speakers tasked with monitoring the situation during a recording session at Blue Light Studio in Vancity.

The wires are plugged in and the recording has begun.

The weekend has finally come. It 's time to put on my headphone and turn on my little tube amp for a casual listening of some jazz. I like to watch these vacuum tubes glow in the dark. It 's so soothing. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

I have my doubts about these two; they're giving each other side eye.

Inspired by Music Thing's similar post, I decided to put up a shot of the music gear I have laying around.

Studio Frog looks a little worse for wear but is still hanging in there & is set for the next recording session. bit.ly/PBMusicFB

Studio Frog 🐸 observes all things in the studio. Don’t adjust the settings!

The final setup of my creative studio in Linux Mint, with my favourite daw: Reaper.

Experimenting with sounds on the ModDuo and U-he Synths.

Stay tuned ;-)

From the same shoot as yesterdays picture. This is a Tascam 38 8 Track 1/2" reel-to-reel recorder with some Ampex 456 tape. I just love the look of this old audio gear!

Spending 2013 testing epic audiogear with Mingzhou

Im still in shock that I actually own these monsters!

An old TEAC 144, a 4-track cassette recorder from around 1980. I shot this while working on a project for a friend. I really like how the shadows stay straight in line with the knobs.

my desk at work

Brush PL 20 Tonearm in near mint condition and original box.

Looking up.

Apple Airplay speakers from the famous Danish Design Audio Haus

This Eq is the definition of tone, flexible, you just like it there

I use it on the stereo bus, vocals, bass, well pretty much everything, too bad I have only one
