![]() – There’s one 2-drawer lowboy filing cabinet (lateral files or regular – it can configured either way). – There is a CD carousel in the corner that houses 2000 CD’s with more stashed here and there. – There is one 4′ high bookcase filled with books, and a Polk Audio HD clock radio, plus a 3 monkeys lamp (hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil). – There are 3 other 5′ high bookcases in the studio, also filled with books. – There are 4 full height bookcases behind my desk (out of seen most of the time) filled with books. – It has an overhead florescent light, which rarely gets turned on. – It has 2 large windows with wooden slat shutters on the inside. – It has a small closet, filled with too many cables and other audio paraphernalia. The moment I saw Cuddy’s office I told my wife, “That’s the color I want to paint the walls.” She and Dena, a close friend, painted it after finding the right shade of yellow. Cuddy’s office walls inspired The Yellow Studio Of course, it wasn’t so named at the time. The exact shade I knew I wanted when I first “built” the Yellow Studio. His boss, Cuddy, had yellow walls in her office. I had a moment of clarity when the TV show HOUSE aired. Frankly, it just seemed too dark and I wanted something lighter. So orange was always a big player for me. It was “Sundance Orange” – that’s what GM called it. My first “real” car was a Pontiac Lemans. □ĭuring high school I had great fun with that truck. Of course, it looked better if you were standing a few feet away. So much that when I got it home a buddy and I painted it hunter green with orange fender flares. Bare bones classic truck in faded hunter green. It was a “3-on-the-tree” transmission and I drove it back from Oklahoma, where my grandparents lived, all the way back to Louisiana. My maternal grandfather bought it for $150 and got it running, then paid somebody a little bit to recover the seat in new vinyl. It was an old truck some farmer had abandoned in a field. ![]() When I was 15 – yes, people, when I was young, living in Louisiana…you could get your driver’s license at 15 – I had a 1954 GMC pickup truck. A 15-year-old version of me and the pickup Truth is, I love yellow, orange, red and hunter green. Just look at the photo gallery and you’ll see the color of the walls. ![]() I know you’d like some logical approach to knowing more about The Yellow Studio. And find out what gear people are using, and how they’re using it. I confess that not much has changed over the years, but I also know how geeky we podcasters can be. And there are other podcasts that have come out of The Yellow Studio. Numerically, that was 130 episodes, but there are many unnumbered episodes. It’s been a great unit, but I was also looking for a unit with XLR/TRS inputs…and a unit capable of providing phantom power for my Rode NTG-2 (which can also be powered by AA batteries).Įpisode 76 was the first go round of giving folks a peek inside The Yellow Studio. The reason I was looking for a new unit was because my Roland R-09HR is growing increasingly unreliable due to lots of use. It’s a solidly built unit with a rubberized outer surface. The full color display is angled (as you can probably see by the photo) making it easy to see. I’ve yet to record with it (other than a short test recording). It has 4 XLR/TRS hybrid inputs, each with its own individual pots. This unit will serve as a multi-channel digital recorder, but it also serves as a USB interface. I wish it had come with an AC power adaptor (an additional $24 or so by itself, or an additional $55 or so if you get it along with a bunch of other unnecessary accessories). The unit comes with this hard shell case (notice the nice hinge system – it ain’t flimsy), a windscreen, a USB cable, two microphone interfaces and a small capacity SD card. Thanks to Patrick (my rep) at Sweetwater Sound, I got it about a month ago. ![]() ![]() It’s an incredible piece of equipment, capable of more than a single digital recorder ought to be capable of. That Zoom H6 (pictured above) is the latest addition to the studio.
