R.I.P. a lot of history has been made in that studio. i’m all for home studios, but it’s sucks they gotta shut down legendary studios that left their mark on the game.
i would love to keep just blaze’s MPC 4000 and turntables. thats one of my wishes as his biggest fan. R.I.P Baseline
anyone know why did he choose to close the studio down?
From a fiscal point they probably were barely covering expenses. Running a studio of that size when your not booked at least 6 months of the year is a nightmare.
@Big Family – True. Especially in the urban music world, where production can be done almost entirely on a laptop. Hopefully he kept some of his outboard gear.
Anyone know what kind of mic they used there at Baseline? Just curious…
It is an Neumann U87 AI
