STUDIO BStudio B was originally a live room, meaning it was empty, and intended to have musicians in it.
I Actually did not know this until I managed to get ahold of Rob Seifert Gage, one of the two people running Aire LA in the 90’s. Rob Explained to me that the live room that we had been using for B, had been set up as a Control Room.
I found this interesting, because that means the entire building was initially connected to Studio A. Technically it still was when I was there, but over the years the studio had been divided up so they could book out to several clients at once.
Studio C was initially used as a Mixdown room… but I’ll cover that later.
Neve 88RThat’s me, in Studio B.
This was probably Late 2006 or early 2007.
Sadly many of the photos I’ve got that were from an old digital camera, the date was set incorrectly so I can only guess.
I attempted making a Panoramic in Photoshop before it had that feature.
I wish I had the original images used, as this was a manual attempt at making a large panoramic from stitching several images together.
This was back in 2007... and this room had a disc burner mounted in the corner. I think I only saw it used once but I believe you could record live with it.

This is just a portion of the patch bay. This is where you can interconnect devices without having to keep unhooking stuff from the back of each piece of gear once it's mounted in a rack. The system is essentially what was used for early telephones and made setting up complex sessions easier but took some time to document how it was set up.
