Studio Abyss - Unmoored in 2002

First reply 5 years later :heh:

Can we get some gear identification?

I noticed some ADAT stuff, drawmer ds404, finalizer, sansamp psa, ddrum module, korg rack tuner, and the rest of it looks foreign.
 
He's got a few digital-looking pieces on the right of his racks and also those metal faceplate units. I've never seen any of those before. I think I noticed a D4 somewhere in there too. I wonder how those ddrum modules sound...
 
Just going from memory and looking back at the video...

The console is an Allen & Heath GS3000.

The first rack on the left holds an Alesis HD24, a Klark Teknik Spectrum Analyzer, a couple Drawmer gates, Behringer Ultrafex, Sansamp PSA 1 and a DBX 160 I think plus a few more pieces that I can't remember.

The second rack is full of compressors and gates for drums and guitars. I don't remember the brand, but they were specifically selected for their super fast response and clean attack. And then again a few pieces down below that I can't remember among them a vintage EQ at the very bottom that were never used basically. :)

The third rack holds an Alesis ADAT that has been replaced with the HD24 but used as a synchronized mixdown deck I believe, and the rest are basically FX, like Lexicon, dbx subharmonic synthesizer, Korg Racktuner, DDrum4 and I think that might've been a Alesis D4 or DM5 in the rack, but the DDrum4 only was used.

The fourth rack is another ADAT at the top, then you have the TC Electronics Finalizer that every single production was going through at Studio Abyss, and then just a bunch of CD writers and DAT machines for final mixdown and delivery mediums.
 
I dread the day ADAT's become cool again. You know, because it's vintage...
