Keeping the tape decks and consoles configured and working I’ve had to spend many hours studying schematics and circuit boards. Latent skills from misspent youth as an electronics geek are paying off big time. #recordingstudio #musicproduction #electronics #electronicsnerd #analogaudio #analogstudio #amekrecall #rupertneve (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2S_sFMgdIh/?igshid=vmdm879nyvhk

Big changes afoot. For two years this Soundcraft GB4-32 has been the center of the studio. Every note of @analogtrenton has passed through this board. Now off to storage it goes. #recordingstudio #musicproducer #studiolife #studiocat #soundcraft (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DEh9XhL5y/?igshid=a6ry19friv9z

my utopia

[gentlyepigrams-deactivated20180]

The drag queen from this photo has spoken up about the photo.

I won’t speak for all liberals, but I’d like to see a future where it isn’t a big deal for a woman in full modesty garb to sit next to a drag queen in NYC. It’s become a bit of a sensation, but her and I were just existing. The freedom to simply be yourself in a sea of people who aren’t like you is a freedom we all deserve.

[theroguefeminist]

The central irony is that this isn’t some hypothetical future–it’s just present day reality. This is a picture of two ordinary people going about their normal lives despite how haters want to politicize it lmao. So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”

Always reblog.

[elfwreck]

Worth repeating: This isn’t “the future liberals want.” This is the present we already have. And conservatives want (1) to convince you it’s not happening and that (2) we need to stop it (plz ignore that they already said it’s not real).

They’re not trying to prevent a future they don’t want. They’re trying to end freedoms that already exist, a cultural habit that’s already in practice: people just going about their business near other people who are different.

First ride in over a year — at least since @analogtrenton started. #cycling #atlanticbicycleclub #teamatlantic (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TyhRSALTz/?igshid=poelt3ldcqm1

Studio C is up and running. This is a dedicated video space that will be always set up and ready to roll. The background paper and stands are from my first studio, EB-Tide Multimedia circa 1990. The name was coined by @ed1h back around 1985. #videoproduction #studiolife #dirtyoldrobot #ebtidevideo #edtidemultimedia (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SBTJcBZ58/?igshid=3i1wl1b3k04i

Getting close to finishing version 4.0 of the #dirtyoldrobot studio. It’s taken six weeks instead of four and an improbable number of runs to the dollar store for storage bins just to get organized but I’m nearly there. #studiolife #recordingstudio #musicproducer #moirai #audioengineer #analogaudio #analogstudio #analogtrenton https://www.instagram.com/p/B1LAF-JgsYr/?igshid=8kztddtulp1

My newly installed excellent and very useful keyboard stand which I will refer to as the tower of often unpleasant noise. #synth #synthlife #studiolife #recordingstudio #electronicmusic #music #musicproducer (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CJYIxACJ4/?igshid=1nbl7qjnj4mzi

New digital audio and video editing workstation is coming along nicely. Getting the monitor speakers positioned on the room’s center axis ( more or less) has made a big difference. This room is all in the box. The analog gear stays in the main room. #recordingstudio #recordingengineer #videoedit #videoediting #imacpro #videoproduction #studiolife (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CURzrAOVQ/?igshid=xiab5zp70lk7

I found my Star Wars card collection from the 70s. I thought they were lost years ago #starwars #starwarstradingcards https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrQD4SgdAF/?igshid=1ndxzbd6fdskf

@erin_incoherent is never not amazing. This was last winter. Temperature was in the 20s 🥶. We hiked to this location out in the woods ‘cause it seemed like a good idea (it was). Each take was met with 110% commitment. It was an artistically breathtaking day. #analogtrenton #musicvideo #videoproduction #videoediting #davinciresolve #liverecording #singersongwriter #fieldrecording (at Dirty Old Robot) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUEZAbgJPc/?igshid=ge1p777d62t5
