Recently we brought you the sad news of a foreclosure of Open Labs. We immediately tried to contact every Open Labs contact we had.

But, … checking the Open Labs website this morning gave us surprisingly the news we wanted. And we are glad to inform you it is good news!
To be honest this should have been done many moons ago. Meaning, … changing the way we look. The Gearjunkies layout! We knew long time ago that Gearjunkies could use a freshen up. But there is a reason why this took so long. When we started the website was simple, small and easy to work with. But as the years went by and the website grew and grew, we added feature by feature. Many of them originally programmed by our in-house programmer. In other words … we created a beast! Changing a layout wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Gearjunkies isn’t like a simple Wordpress site where you click and change your theme. Hell no! It took lots and lots of work to create a new layout for Gearjunkies. We called it Gearjunkies 2.0!
Engineer and producer Richard Sales recently finished mixing his daughter Hayley Sales’ follow-up album for Universal using the Dangerous Music 2-Bus analog summing mixer and monitoring with the Dangerous Monitor ST along with the Dangerous DAC-ST D-to-A converter. The album, titled ‘When The Bird Became A Book,’ (Universal Music) is getting radio air-play and climbing the charts in Canada and Japan where the singer-songwriter has a strong following. Describing his new system, Sales says, “This whole experience for me was a giant ‘Ah hah!’ – an epiphany. I had been recording and mixing analog for many years. When I switched over to digital so many of the mysteries that had been plaguing me regarding why DAW mixing was not sounding right just blew apart when I got the Dangerous Music equipment.” Sales has produced and engineered a wide variety of artists, from John Fahey, Danny Gatton, and Bernice Reagon of Sweet Honey In The Rock, to Miles Davis (with engineer Jim Smith), Wavy Gravy and beat literati Ken Kesey.
