It's a day before a core crew will be crouching over a maze of circuit boards and vintage electronics on the third floor of Breakglass Studios, methodically installing the final components of a Spectra Sonics console. The rare 1970s mixing board—once the most popular in the world for exactly one year—has spent months being painstakingly refurbished in Tim Herzog's workshop. Tomorrow, it becomes a centrepiece of one of Montreal's most quietly influential recording studios.
Music producer, audio engineer, mixer, composer and co-owner of Breakglass James Benjamin talks about this incoming equipment with the mixture of excitement and exhaustion that comes from waiting years for a crucial piece of equipment. "We're an analogue studio with no desk right now. We have tons of tape machines, and we have analogue preamps and stuff, but this board? It's the centrepiece."
