House/Desk
CH 04 Desk
Patch it once. Print it when it is right.
Two engineers share the room. You get one of them for the day, not a rotating assistant.
CH A Continuity
One engineer. The notes stay on the sheet.
Two engineers share the room. You get one of them for the day, not a rotating assistant. A Thursday vocal can meet a Sunday overdub without a scavenger hunt.
We will not mix a record we did not track unless we have the session and a day. We will not promise a radio sound from a three-hour booth booking.
CH B On the desk
Ask who is on your day.
Two people, one room. Names are not on this page. Ask the desk when you hold the date.

CH C House line
What we will, and will not.
The same two sentences we say on the phone.
Will
- Track the room you booked, with one engineer on the day
- Leave a recall so a Thursday vocal can meet a Sunday overdub
- Print to half-inch when the arrangement can sit still
- Send a rough of what you kept before the last booked hour
Will not
- Mix a record we did not track, unless we have the session and a day
- Promise a radio sound from a three-hour booth booking
- Rotate assistants through your day
- Sell you a reel the song does not need
CH D Recall
Turn a knob. The sheet still exists.
This is a toy. The real recall is paper on the desk, so the next day starts where you stopped. Drag a knob if you like; nothing is stored.
