wateroftyne Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Areet Genesis' old SSL desk is for sale, and it's a bit of a beast. Here's a video of it which I found fascinating, even though great swathes of it might as well be in Urdu as far as I'm concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Good luck finding the 8" floppy discs for those automation drives... Sure, it looks complicated, but it's basically just repetition of the same thing, once you understand the processes, the worst part about using someone else's studio designs is figuring out the stuff they've done that is non-standard, particularly on patch-bays and side-car hardware. The desks are designed to be connected in a specific way, but very often different studios customised the cables and patches for their own operating styles, and it gets complicated. Hugh Padgam's SSL was built in 2 sections with fighcases, so he could take it wherever he was working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
