ABOVE: "This is the bar. I've sort of maintained it because I thought it had a vibe. I just didn't want to tear it out and destroy it, because I thought it was quite interesting. Clients seem to like it a lot. . . . I have some liquor up there, in case you ever want to come by and have a drink." "When people walk in, I think they're comfortable, and they always com- ment on it. I think it relaxes people. Not a lot of people have really taken the opportunity to have a drink — but one day." "I've got some pictures, some African masks up there. I've got a couple of guitars. I've got a poster of 'American Soul,' which I did for BET." FACING PAGE: "This room is my main mix room. We are doing 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2.' We did the first one. Now they asked us to do the second one, and also the animated movie 'Night at the Museum.' It has an all-JBL speaker system. It has dual subs in the front. It has 15-inch speakers and horns for the left, center, right. We also have stereo speakers, so we can switch between, say, 5.1 or ATMOS and stereo, as well. A lot of times, we'll play back on the smaller speakers just to get a sense of what it will sound like on a smaller system, because it's pretty loud in here." "We have all the latest Pro Tools software as well as a suite of plugins that help us do our job. We also have a remote streaming computer so that if you're not here, you can participate in the mix from wherever you are, on a laptop, on a smart TV. There are times when we are mixing and it's only us in here, and everybody else is on a remote. They can participate in real time." 23 S U M M E R Q 3 I S S U E B A Y A R E A
