Brookdale Distance Education

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:57:54 -0400

Macintosh power at it's finest. This is not a Photoshopped image, just a Cmd-Shift-3 screen capture. I was demoing a 2.6GHz Penryn MacBook Pro in order to assess it's use in the Windows side of what I do at BCC... managing distance education facilities remotely. The Mac was running Windows XP virtualized via Parallels Desktop, performing the following tasks simultaneously while connected wirelessly in the Audio Control Room: controlling the Crestron in ATEC216 via e-control, controlling the Polycom VS4000 codec in ATEC216 via it's web interface, and controlling via VNC the PC in ATEC216 running the GVI surveillance/monitoring system receiving feeds from the IcIT web transmitters in ATEC216, the Neptune HEC, and the Long Branch HEC.

Nice.

90.5 The Night Sessions

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 02:08:30 -0400

Back in the 90's we used to produce a performance/interview show called Sessions From The Secret Garden for WBJB. At the time the station's format was jazz somewhere between the traditional WBGO and the "smooth jazz" of CD 101.9. After WBJB changed to the Triple-A format the show kinda died away. A few years ago WBJB Music Director Jeff Raspe and I began talking about reviving this show style but with the current artists the station features.

It has been quite an interesting selection of music... looking forward to more.

Brookdale Studio Refit

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:12:05 -0400

In April of 2010 we began the process of refitting the Audio Production Services recording studio which had been in operation since 1989. Formerly based on an Amek Angela 36X24 console and Otari MX-80 24-track with Dolby SR, we decided to go digital, selecting a Yamaha DM2000VCM as the console replacement, while leaving our other analog hardware in place. 32 channels of Apogee DA and AD-16x A/D/A conversion were selected to serve as the bridge between the analog and digital realms. The studio also features a Mac Pro-based DAW with 12GB of RAM and 5TB of disk space running MOTU Digital Performer, Apple Logic Studio, and a number of other audio applications.

As of July 16th the installation has been completed!

Daniel's Soul Purpose Band

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:58:09 -0400

A lot of the same personnel from The Shades were in this band... Danny, Rich, Pat, Tony(with little Alex on his shoulders), and Delores. Bob Butterfield was on drums. This was probably sometime around 1987. Been a long time since Sea Bright was area code 201. Out of those three nights a week they played the Cove I was there most of them... and I am in this picture!

Check out this video from Bob Butterfield's studio back in the day... I spent a lot of time at that Soundcraft console...

In the back from left to right are Pat Guadagno(guitar and vocals), Rich Oddo(guitar), Tony Guadagno(bass), my cousin Delores Holmes(vocals), and Daniel Petraitis(keys and vocals). Sadly, Danny and Tony are no longer with us... and we lost Delores on April 16, 2010.

DJ Jeannie Hopper, DJ Tedd Patterson, and Princess Charlotte. This Liquid Sound Lounge boat cruise came at a time when I really needed a boost... soon after the passing of my Father and Mother. A testament to the power of music... Tedd spun a KILLER set that night! I am proud to have remastered several premium discs for LSL fund drives.
