Apparently an OB van is one of those mobile news vans capable of live video/audio feed. But every website I found that referred to it by that name was either British, Australian, Japanese, or New Zealander. We just call 'em news vans here...

There! That proves it! I knew it all along. Jag is really an Australian masquerading as a Swiss!

I would swear I've seen those exact studio pics somewhere before, SM...have I?

Elspode · 06-07-2004, 11:31 PM

...it looks a lot worse in the picture than it does in reality. Also, I have *got* to get a better digicam. The quality of my pictures in comparision to everyone else's is starting to become terribly embarassing.

maybe - I scalped them straight from the studio website. It's O'Henry Sound Studios here in Burbank.

Also, they all start to look alike after a while.

Easily, that mixer board still has me drooling. Ye, onsite A/V basically, range from small vans with microwave links to semis that cost over a million bucks and have full studio recording capabilites. I couldn't tell you specs now, last time I was there would have been around '97 or so but it would have been around 2/3 the size of that. My dad used to be in the business so I got to explore them, editing rooms, mixing rooms, studios....was a llittle geeks dream.

I'm guessing behind that board there are about 5 racks worth of equipment right? =)

*ahem* I'm Swiss-French thankyou very much :P
