Tom Hidley, wow that's a name from the past. I met Tom in the very early 70s when he had his studio on Wilshire Blvrd, I bought my first Multi track setup from him. He gave me a complete tour of his studio and at the time I had just recently finished my own first studio and needless to say, I was pretty impressed.

I finished my last control room in 79 going into 80 and I've still got that.

As already mentioned, there are no parallel walls or surfaces. Back in those days, the LEDE design was "very in" and that's the way I designed my control room.

The left/right speakers are floating, built into the walls and are surrounded with cork on the outside face.

If I were to rebuild it today, there is no doubt I would do it a little bit differently, but at my age that ain't going to happen.
