• The Grand Replugging There were some faulty connections within the system, so Dave decided to pull the entire console apart, check connections, blow out some dust bunnies at large, and rebuild the patchbay. It was great to see the guts behind such a rig. And surprisingly more wiring than I had imagined. Dave's other student and I helped disassemble the components and evacuate them to the live room for sorting and cleaning. We also honed our cable coiling skills immensely. (Cable coiling....the secret handshake of sound guys.) Dave pulled an all-nighter rebuilding it, as he had a mastering session with Low Cut Connie the next day.
