Reference for C900 users

Each speaker is self-powered, but please make sure all speakers are off before you turn on the mixer. Once the mixer is on, you can then turn each speaker on individually by the power switches on their backs. When shutting down, do the reverse: turn all the speakers off before turning off the mixer, to avoid loud pops / spikes that could cause damage. The XDJs and turntables can be turned on/off whenever, as long as their channel faders are down. Please leave all faders down by default when you leave, including the A (Big Knob) and B (Mic) ones on the left.

If you're paying the lower tier of membership, you get to book one work session a week, but if you see an additional opening in less than 24hrs, you can grab that too. Higher tier members get to leave a bit of unshared equipment in the studio and book more than once a week. Your bookings are for creative work sessions only, not social events, please.

Please do not book more than two weeks in advance, so as to leave others a chance to book. If you have a hard date you want to book well in advance, please note "To Be Confirmed" on your booking in the calendar and it will be saved if not in conflict with other scheduling, but it can't be guaranteed.

Need to swap bookings or share equipment but don't have the phone number of your fellow member? Here's a link to our contact list, which also shows who has keys and fobs to C900 and / or 303.

Absolutely not. Anyone sharing their key and door code with anyone else, including another member, will immediately lose access. Of course you are allowed collaborators, but they must enter and leave with you.

Parties are not included with your membership, and "afters" in particular are totally not allowed. If you want to rent the space for a party or any form of social event, it's possible but you have to make arrangements with Mark.

With the key on the "Adidas" black strap, which should be hanging on the back of the entrance door, with an additional key for other bathrooms. The strap also has a key to the elevator machine room and the lock on the fire escape: keep it with you at all times when you are on the roof: if the wind blows the door shut behind you, you need the key to get back into the building.

No. Just us and cell phone, air conditioner and elevator technicians. If you see someone on the roof doing other stuff (taking fashion photos, etc) and they say they're allowed because they're from the building, it's a lie; I have an agreement with the landlord. Call me and I'll be the bad cop. If it's creepy people late at night with cans of graffiti shit, call the cops directly if you can't reach me.

We've already set up convenient ways for you to plug in (see the big knob thing on the central desk) so please use that: if for any reason you change a patch PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS before you leave so the next person can work without issue. There's even a patch map if you don't remember how it was: (Thank you, Mourad!)

Yes, but not the southern one near the deck: its mechanism is broken. Please leave them closed while running the air conditioner, and make sure all windows are locked when you leave.

Yes of course: there's even a remote to do so, probably on the record shelf beside the DJ station. Please do not mess with the settings, just turn it on or off as you wish. But always remember to turn it back on when you leave, no matter how cold it is at night: the next day, the sun will heat the place up and make it uncomfortable for the next member, so leave it on and its thermostat will kick in when appropriate. Thank you!

No. Please do so outside. And not in the stairs, the airflow will just suck it into the space.

Yes. If you change a setting (seat height, snare height, etc) please put it back when you're finished. And please remember to turn off the snares when you leave.

It is not included with your membership. If you need it for a special project, arrangements can be made with Mark. Absolutely do not try to plug into it or change any settings.

There is a second projector and screen, set up between the DJ speakers: That one is free to use at any time: see button below.

Do not touch the modem and router under any circumstances: call Mark. Seriously: if you touch it, you're out. All our security depends on that stuff.

The recycling is in the kitchen next to the stove but behind the garbage. The round metal bin next to the window is only for returnables please. Replacement bags are under the sink. If you don't want to return cans to Consignaction, you can leave the separate bag of cans in the parking lot, next to the recycle bin, and someone will pick them up.

Please take the bag to the appropriate dumpster behind the building on your way out. Fresh bags are under the sink: please use transparent ones for the "returnable cans" bin - not blue, because it causes confusion and people put the wrong stuff in. Thank you!

Please be a good community member and go get some at the Pharmaprix next door. Of course we'll refund you.

Have them scroll to Ewola Cinema on the entry panel (see pics below) or dial 900, then when the studio phone rings you press "9" to buzz them in. (Note: second door does not work yet: leave it held open with the kickstand if you're expecting people) This is unnecessary between 7am and 6pm on weekdays since the building is open.

If a light is not responding to the main controller at the entrance to the studio, somebody probably turned it of manually at the source: just flick it off and on again and it will be fine. Leave all those switches on so that they light up for the next person.

Sometimes the glowing light under the DJ stretcher does not turn off: you can ignore it and leave it on.

The little spotlights and LED uplight are not controlled by the entrance panel: see Lights section linked below for pics and instructions:

The main forward-facing QSC speakers are too low even though you're cranking Master 1 on the DJ mixer? Look at the little auxiliary volume control / splitter on the far right of the DJ stretcher: the left fader for the QSCs should be all the way up.

It's for the drummer playing along with music from the DJ setup, but you can point it anywhere you need an independent monitor. It's fed from the "Send 1" bus at the top of each channel of the DJ mixer. Set to Pre-fader if you want it independent of the mix.

It's attached to the Master 2 output of the DJ mixer: first make sure that's up. If still not loud enough, adjust the little mono Denon mixer in the cinema sound rack: Ch2 is labelled DJ M2. You may need to adjust the Master of that mixer, labelled Sub Sum. That mixer should be left on at all times.
