| Editor's Note | | What Is a Recording Studio?
Back in 1989 when I walked into John Mellencamp's Belmont Mall Studios off Highway 46 east of Bloomington, Ind., I had no idea that I was looking into the future. It was my first visit to a "real" studio, and I had no background to make the distinction between a private and commercial facility. There was a Trident 80 console, a Studer 24-track, JBL mains with Yamaha NS-10s on the bridge, and a big live room with a tall ceiling and perforated radio-station pegboard on the walls to break up drummer Kenny Aronoff's monster beating. It was a studio. A great one. Simple as that. |
