Gaz's Bar, Studio & Gym

The service is damn good cos its self service.

The prices are damn good cos its free.

This picture shows an extremely rare moment when the local habitat were not actually propped up against the bar, or even lying on the ground.

Here's the bar I  built during a moment of inspiration.

Gaz's Bar

And at the other end of the bar, the "studio" consisting of :

• PC for midi & digital multi-track recording (including a Yamaha SW1000XG and Creative Audigy 2 ZS soundcards)

• Behringer 22 channel mixing desk

• Behringer EP1500 1400W PA amp (should be loud enough!)

• HH VS Combo (circa 1976),

• Zoom 3030 guitar effects,

• Yamaha Electro-acoustic guitar,

• Fender '57 Stratocaster (Reissue -although authentic wear and tear look!)

Gaz's "Studio"

The studio where I mess around with me instruments and midi's!

22 channel mixer and 1400 Watt amp, plenty of flexibility and power, probably a little over the top for the size of room

Screenshot of Cakewalk - a good value for money music package, allowing mixing of midi songs (backing tracks such as drums/bass/synths etc) with multi-track real audio (vocals/guitar). You can see above the 6 left hand tracks are midi based, the right hand tracks are real audio recorded via mixer into soundcard. Additional digital effects such as echo, equalisation can be added and the complete song recorded as a MP3.

And out through the door into the inner lobby, leads the door to the Gym, now who would live in a place like this......

The Gym...

In one half we have the treadmill, the weights bench and the bike...

Here's a funny story, when the Treadmill was delivered, it took the two men 10 minutes to get it in (weighs about 110Kg/240lb), and when it was finally laid down, on the floor after much sweating, you should have seen the look on their faces when I said that they had  delivered the wrong model.  Not the sort of package you want to keep carrying backwards and forwards!
