Hey there, Mackie. I'm Andy Chanley.
I'm the music director and afternoon host
at KCSN FM in Los Angeles, 88.5 The SoCal Sound.
Before that, for a decade I was at 100.3, The Sound
in L.A., and channel 103.1 and Y107.
33, 34 years in radio and a couple of podcasts.
Through most of it, through 20 years,
I've had this in my studio, this 1402 I got from you.
For like 15, 17 years this was the heart of my studio.
Had everything running through here, all of my mics for VO and production,
my outboard gear, my interface.
Of course, it fed my monitors and headphones.
Every stupid song you heard me sing on 100.3,
The Sound In The Morning, was done through this board.
Nowadays it's my Swiss Army knife.
If I'm doing a podcast, I'm using this,
put the microphones through the channels here.
I have them marked so
don't forget who's who around the table and the great auxiliary sends and returns.
I have a little interface that I can hook up to my iPhone.
I can take phone calls live during a podcast.
Everybody can hear each other, and the caller.
It’s pretty awesome.
The connectivity of this thing is just so versatile and I'll never get rid of it.
I want to thank you for making something that
A, sounds great, B, is affordable
so working stiffs like me can afford to have it,
and C, can take a beating.
I spilled a glass of
red wine on this at one point and it, it never flinched.
I don't recommend you spilling a glass of red wine on yours,
but it's nice to know you could and probably get away with it.
Thank you, Mackie, for making good stuff.
Good looking out.
