Equipment Updates:
As in the Marty Robbins cowboy gunfighter ballad, lesser ordinance is no match for the Big Iron. We've just installed a Fairman TMC Tube Master Compressor at the Boulder studios, truly a Big Iron (3 hand-wound transformers per channel, 16 tubes, plus a tube rectifier, and really big knobs). It's as close as you'll find to the venerable Fairchild 670, upon which it's based, and it sounds awesome. Available for use in any of the Boulder studios.
Dominick Maita added a Prism MLA-2 compressor to Studio B, as well as an Apogee Big Ben master clock.
Our ATR Services-modified Ampex ATR-100 is now equipped with the following record/playback options:
--1" 2 Track (headstack rental fee)
--1/2" 2 Track Record/Playback w/ Flux Magnetic heads

--Unbalanced output direct from the PB head preamps (4 channels)
--AME Equalizer Networks (4 channels) for playing back those terrific late 50's and early 60's 3 and 4 track 1/2" masters
Our Studer A820 is equipped for 1/4" 2 Track Record/Playback and 1/4" Quarter Track Playback
--Dolby A & SR and dbx type I Noise Reduction

Airshow Adds Xserve And T1:
With a big shiny server and T1 service at both Airshow locations, we are able to send and receive audio files via FTP. This is helpful for international clients to avoid delays in customs and for touring artists to keep their projects on schedule when they're away from home. It's fast and easy to send a replacement mix or audition a couple of different approaches to EQ. When you want to ship or receive files, please contact jason@airshowmastering.com for FTP instructions.
