Sometimes it is just the simple things that are cool.  Or maybe not so simple.  Simply put, the Tranzport is back up and running here at the studio.  This remote is just what you need to record yourself with Protools.  It works wirelessly to connect to Protools.  So just go punch that track from the live room, and control the system from 20 feet away!

One of our very favorite guitar amps here is back in studio after getting a bit of a tune up at the shop. This circa 1967 tube amp has an added pre-amp as well, a modification Chip Verspyck said he believed was done in the 70’s.

It’s kind of unusual to add a tube pre-amp to your guitar amp, and the result is beautiful distortion. Thick and gorgeous. It also has a reverb (called echo) and a vibrato.  Cool Amp.

Just got a malletKat vibraphone, made by AlternateMode!   Love it.  This midi vibraphone is a full 4 octave and has great feel and playability.  I can hook it up to my midi sound modules too…which I have a handful.  Of course, my musser pro vibe may be getting a bit jealous.  I’m looking forward to many, many uses for this incredible instrument!

Excited – just updated my system and computer.  Got ProTools 9!
