Yes it's one of the US made Makie Consoles. Most of the cables have already been hooked up. The MP7 is hooked up in the photo to the console. The wires are hard to see and thats the way I like it. I still have to hook up the monitors. The snake for the multi track runs along the side of the wall. Its the only cable visible. I wasn't able to run it under the flooring or through the wall. All that aside it doesn't look bad. I'm attaching it to the base board and out of the way. Plus it gives me the ability to move the desk and recorder around if I need to. There will be a second snake running to another Argosy Rack unit that will house more synth and effects units. Almost every piece of equipment is vintage. Not a big fan of the new stuff made in China. Some of my units include a Lexicon PCM80, DBX 160, and Drawmer Ds201. I'm trying to recreate that classic sound found on so many vinyl records. Everything will then be transferred to Protools for editing and the digital domain. Digital is almost necessary now days to get  recordings out to the masses. Didgital should be used in conjunction with analog and not as a replacement.

I'm in for at least two.  Maybe more, if we can run more than one per machine without them getting confused..

Kickstarter or any other form of pre-ordering is fine with me- even if it takes a year between payment and delivery.  Sometimes crazy gear-ninja magic tricks take time, and I wouldn't want any artificial time constraints to compromise the project.  No Kickstarter project that I've ever contributed to has happened anywhere near the projected schedule.  Everything always takes longer than it was supposed to, and I'd hate to stress out a guy who's doing us a huge favor by having an impatient minority of contributors ask 'are we there yet' every 5 minutes for however long this takes..

Cheers!
Don

@Jack Pratt

Please take our money, start a "Kick starter" project, if you want I can help you with this, in this way you'll see the real potential and you'll be sure your time will not be lost in vain.

What do you think?

Thank you
