Geoff Daking's bio
Born
in Wilmington Delaware in 1947, Geoff played in local bands.
In January 1966, he left American University to join NY based
Mercury artists Blues Magoos. Between '66 and '69, they recorded
four albums, two of which were platinum, and a top five single,
"We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet". The peak of their career
was in 1967 when they toured four months with Herman's Hermits
and The Who (Hermits were the headliners). During those he became
fascinated with recording and engineered some of the Magoos
last album.
In the summer of 1969, Geoff went back to Woodstock where he
played in bands with Tim Harden, Dave Sanborn, Paul Butterfield
and Buzzy Feiton. In 1970, Geoff became a staff engineer at
Sound Ideas in NYC which was equipped with API consoles #1 and
#3. There he honed his skills and besides recording, designed
and managed the construction of four studios.
In 1977, Geoff left Sound Ideas for SoundMixers NYC, and in
1979, became an independent engineer. In 1982. he opened his
own studio, Nimbus Nine, which grew to four rooms, one API,
one Neve, one Trident, and one ProTools.
Since 1970, Geoff has designed and built more than 20 recording
studios for music, film and commercial production. In 1994 he
built the all analog "BIG Blue" in Katonah NY for
the recording of Joan Osborne's premier album, "Relish".
In 1996 he built a combo analog/digital studio in Tuxedo Park
for Cyndi Lauper's "Sisters of Avalon". His most recent
studio is the multi-million dollar music production facility
in Saint Petersburg Florida, Big3 Entertainment.
In 1993, with is expertise, Geoff started manufacturing his
own line of audio equipment. The first product was a combination
mic-pre/eq. This all discrete Class "A" unit was based
on the legendary Trident A Range circuits by Barry Porter. Next
was the FET Compressor. In 2000, production began for full size
Class A recording consoles in frame sizes from 16 to 80 inputs.
New for 2004 are a 4 channel 1U Mic Preamp, and a console specifically
designed for digital audio. This new product has 10 band graphic
eq's and a FET compressor on every input. The center section
provides full studio monitor and meter control. The monitor
section mixes multi channel audio from digital workstations
in the analog domain. This eliminates the shortcoming of the
computer in audio summing.
