I want to use cloned drives in a drive bay so that I can easily replace the drives in my Mac Pro (if/when they go down) and just carry on working - without having to bother with a restore. I’ve had a very helpful exchange of eMails with David Schachtner at OWC, and settles on this solution for now. I also bought this cool dock bundle

Next week I am mixing an album for Panico. They have been recording in Glasgow and Paris. I shall be mixing in London. The parts for the first song have arrived.

Had an interesting visit to Assault and Battery. The evening was introduced by a couple of REAL professionals - Flood and Alan Moulder - both looking well and relaxed (and younger than I remember!)
Nick Young followed with an overview of the Miloco empire and then Jim Motley from SSL gave an interesting talk about the history of the company, as well as a slick demo of the Matrix.

Very interesting interview with Flood and Alan here

HTRK parts have arrived for a single mix next week.

Off to Paris for a couple of days in rehearsal with Panico. Then they record in Glasgow and I mix later in November.

After a month in Strongroom and an intensive 4 days with Mads tweaking (and the rest of the band all listening remotely via uploads) the new Efterklang LP is pretty much ready for Mastering at Sterling Sound with Greg Calbi
