![]() Yeah, I don’t know how I snuck the board in. Also, if I DIY my own stuff, it’s easier to sneak new gear past my wife. There’s something very “zen” about leaning over a PCB doing solder joints. How did you know? I have two daughters – and because I have two daughters I am massively outnumbered when there’s a discussion going on. You sound like a man who’s desperately trying to avoid spending time with his family. But all of the acoustic stuff, all the wood, everything on the interior I did myself as well as the wiring of the board. I did all the work myself, just because I’m kind of dumb like that. ![]() And I was so used to it that when I built this place, I just kind of did it from memory – it’s really designed from that. And I just took pictures of every bau:ton room I was ever in. But anyways, the designer who built Studio X was a designer who… whenever I’m in a new city and I need a studio, I always look for the bau:ton-designed rooms. You don’t have to bother with the restraining order. And that was where I started.ĭon’t worry, I’m not the creepy interview guy who knows too much. Well, technically Lawson was a different building a few blocks away. …that’s where you started, right? When it was Lawson Recording?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of you with anything other than an SSL… Where are you broadcasting from right now?
