We love our mixing console, the Trident Series 65, a board that was built in England in the ’80s and made its way to our NYC recording studio. Just about everything we record runs through the preamps and channel strips of our board, giving its amazing signature sound even 40 years later. So it’s important to us to take good care of it.

After a year in pandemic, we haven’t been able to give our board a good clean. But this summer, as we continue to see more sessions getting booked, it was finally time. We took off all the faders and pods and gave it a good surface makeover. No matter how well you take care of a board like this, or how good it looks at first glance, it’s important to take everything off and clear away the dust that inevitably finds a hiding spot under the buttons and knobs of this robust machine.

Busted out the vacuum, q-tips, and cleaning solution and did right by the centerpiece of our Midtown recording studio. Nothing beats that look and feel of a freshly cleaned analog mixing console.

Here’s to another 40 years!
