You know that “new car smell”? Sure you do. Inescapable really. Until this past week I thought you could only find that smell in…a new car. Turns out I was wrong. Turns out a brand new Studio B, designed for voiceover, editing and post-production, has the exact same smell! We just put the finishing touches on it and I find myself darting in during the day to spend a few minutes just sitting there inhaling repeatedly, checking furtively over my shoulder to be sure no one else is witnessing my obsessive olfactory behavior. It’s like porn for the nasal passages. Mmmmmm. Ever sidled up to a freshly un-boxed Focusrite pre amp and taken a whif? How about a sexy new IMac? Or a pair of shiny Mackie HR824 near field monitors? Trust me, it’s highly addictive. In fact, I may be headed to a whole new kind of re-hab: “My name is Frank and I can’t stop smelling our new audio suite.” “Hi Frank!” Now if only Yamaha would come up with one of those rear view mirror scented hangee thingees for studios. As the kids say…that would be “tight”.
