# Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday... - Site: Analog Industries - Author: Chris Randall - Date: 2006-05-05 - URL: https://analogindustries.com/2006/05/hard-core-gear-porn-friday/ I recall making a comment some months ago that I didn't trust nice clean studios, because it looks like nothing gets done there. By that yardstick, [Dana Countryman](http://www.danacountryman.com/) is one of the busiest guys in the music industry. Take a brief jaunt through [his studio,](http://www.danacountryman.com/studio/studio.html) home of a fairly large (not Scot Solida large, but large) .Com synth and an Ondioline, as well as a lot of what Phillip K. Dick would call "kibble." Also, we have a special bonus Gear Porn today. Adamjay finally sent me a picture of [his rack.](http://www.boldrecording.com/adamjay/RACK.jpg) Adamjay runs a mobil recording service. Adam, you can mobile that 500 rack right to my studio. And the Phoenix mic pres. And... Bonus round two: Suit & Tie Guy found a \_really\_ old Moog modular in a local college's recital room. [Check this shit out.](http://www.suitandtieguy.com/sights/050406_bu_moog/) Fucking perfboard. Seriously. ## Comments (7) **kokoon** (2006-05-05): yay poly-800 :D and it looks unmodded. **shamann** (2006-05-05): Wow, that Dana sure likes his cartoon fonts. I'd only seen bits and pieces of Adamjay's rack before that he'd posted on forums, impressive in its entirety. If it's a mobile studio, is that whole rack completely portable, or do only bits and pieces go out on the road? **AdamJay** (2006-05-05): the two black 4 space rack bags at the top left + the ULN-2 (under the digi 002) are the mobile elements of my rig. The rest of it stays in the studio for mixes. I also bring a Swissonic AD96 A/D conveter for larger track projects. In all, the system is capable of capturing 22 tracks at 24bit/96khz. Its also capable of sending a total of 12 unique stereo headphone mixes, or 24 unique mono headphone mixes (big bands and orchestras) a gear list including microphone collection can be found at www.boldrecording.com **Jaysen** (2006-05-05): On page 2, is that a photo of Bob's old spring roll and plate of rice (perf shavings) ? **Suit & Tie Guy** (2006-05-05): no. that was my dinner i had at the local vietnamese restaraunt afterwards. (it's not anywhere near as good as Pho Grand in St Louis though.) consider them bonus pictures. **BringMeUp** (2006-05-06): Nice slutty bonus. Wonder how that DRS-Q4 sounds... - BMU **AdamJay** (2006-05-06): The DRS-Q4 sounds so smooth. the EQ really is the perfect compliment to the DRS preamps. I have to be careful with it, it allows me to safely get by with poor mic selection. I haven't yet found a mic that doesn't take the DRS-Q4 EQ well. 11 selectable frequencies over 4 bands. here's a closer pic: http://www.boldrecording.com/adamjay/drsq4/DRS_Q4_2.jpg I've been using it on the drum bus. through the mic inputs with the pad engaged and gain at lowest setting. I didn't anticipate being able to use it during mixes but its working out incredibly well so far.
