Metal XOR Studio was built in the basement of a house Jason rented from 1994-1996. Many songs were recorded in what later became known as Metal XOR-A. But when moisture and dampness started affecting the equipment, it was quickly realized a new studio had to be built.
The above scan is the schematic blueprint for the two systems that would be needed in the new Metal XOR-B Studio. The main drawing shows the audio connections needed and how to hook up all the audio cables. The drawing at the bottom of the page shows the MIDI hookup, the data connections between the equipment.
This drawing was completed in the fall of 1995. It was soon after that the Studio was moved upstairs to the main floor and Metal XOR-B was created.
The original drawing now resides in the Studio Blueprint and Redesign Wing of the Metal XOR Studio Museum.
* Additional note - when Jason moved from the rental house, Metal XOR-C was built at the new house. And in 1999 when he moved to his current house, Metal XOR-D was built. Since XOR-D was built, there have been a few "rebuilds" and "revisions" to the Studio, so those designations became known as XOR-D1, XOR-D2, etc.
Update: for more information, see the Studio Chapter feature.
