does anyone know if lee perry's black ark studio was made out of one single room &#40;ie. recording space and control room, mixer in the same room&#41;? ...i think i read somewhere that he only had one room and looking at the pictures it would seem that way, but does anyone have any sure info? <BR> <BR>i ask because i have to decide whether to keep my mixer and reel to reel in the same room where the musicians go, or rather begin to organize the room nextdoor. <BR>if lee perry did everything in one room i think i can relax and not try to follow "official" advice. <BR> <BR>what about other famous studios - are there any which only have one room? and what about your personal experiences? <BR> <BR>thanks <BR>pavle

Hi <BR> <BR>In the video "Roots Rock Reggae, inside the Jamaican Music Scene" you see that Perry used two rooms! His mixer was exactly behind a little window where he could see down &#40;!&#41; in the room, where the tunes were recorded! <BR> <BR>Greetz <BR> <BR>Speet
