Much has gone on here this spring. In the Frugal Studio, completed recording and editing an audio book for a local company earlier in the spring. More on that when it goes public. On the live front a whole bunch of shows have come through the local venue. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ricky Skaggs, Leo Kottke, […]
Server move completed
FrugalAudio.com has now relocated. The server move is complete and everything seems to function. This site is now being hosted at BlueHost.com after some research and a few recommendations. Also, by clicking through to BlueHost from SQPN you can support my friends over there too.
Change coming…
Nothing that will be visible to the everyday reader but I’m changing my hosting provider. As such there will probably be a little downtime here at Frugal Audio in the coming week or two. The new server space is already paid for I just have to work out the transfer of the site content. My […]
Winter Work
Well, fortunately it hasn’t been too slow a winter for the Frugal Audio Guy. Completed installation and testing of the Midas Pro3 consoles in the small room at the local venue. Followed by two New Year’s Eve shows with Eddie Money and a New Year’s Day show with Little Feat. Still sussing out a gain […]
Doings at the local venue
Been pretty busy locally. A billiard tournament, show with Paula Cole, and seven shows with Frankie Avalon. Now in the big push to get things ready in the small room before New Years Eve. Floor stripped and painted, new Midas consoles. Details and pictures soon.
Back at the ranch…
Frugal is back in the building… Returned from St. Louis earlier this week after a long but fruitful event with COGIC and my old friends at Zeo Brothers. We hung a bunch of XLc. Including a rig in the dome where the Rams play. I spent most of my time on the day shift in […]
On the road again…
…ok, so I traveled by air. You get the idea. The Frugal train left the station. Departed Western New York for St. Louis, Missouri. It was a very bumpy ride but I arrived safely nonetheless. Among other things on this week’s agenda: hang a bunch of XLc boxes, learn the SC48, mix most of the […]
More on the local gig…
So the local venue has kept me pretty busy of late. I’ve been working full time on an install project in the small room. Basically installing more permanent cabling and patch points for audio (analog & digital), com, lighting control, and data. This along with some acoustic treatment, new soft goods, and a dimmer rewire […]
QSC & Mackie?
So QSC is partering with Greg Mackie’s new venture to design digital consoles? Oh joy. I may be proved wrong but Pat Quilter just lost a couple respect points with me. Really, has Mr. Mackie designed anything that could be called anything positive (except possibly affordable) in the last twenty years? Sure, the old Tapco […]
Filling in the gaps…
So while things were slower than usual in the past year or so there have been some interesting things happening in Frugal Land. At Frugal Control I’ve had a few projects come through. Late in ’09 I did some interesting dialog cleanup for a documentary on 9/11. I also provided mastering services for the second […]
