FIFTEEN CENTS
Steve Paules in the studio
Inside a recording studio
There is a parachute
overhead and 1000 egg
cartons on the walls, 300
dials, and a window
between two rooms with
four panes of glass. There
are 12 speaker cabinets,
guitars, 3 tape decks, 32
Volume Unit meters. And
there is Steve Paules,
guitarist, auto body repair-
man, and recording
engineer.
The scene is the Gemini
Recording Studio in Landis-
ville, east of Mount Joy.
Within its acoustically dead
walls rock groups record,
narrators narrate, commer-
cials are recorded.
“There was no fairly
decent, small studio in this
area,” says Steve Paules,
explaining why he spent
two years turning an old
warehouse into a sound
studio. He insulated the
building, put up sound-
proof walls, huge thick
doors, and those egg
cartons. (The cartons are
for sound absorption, and
they work very well. if you
clap your hands inside the
main recording room, there
won't be even the trace of
- tape = decks - for
Phe ie
Steve also put in a new
floor and re-wired the
structure. There are three
main sound rooms within
the warehouse—the main
room, a drum room, and a
control room. The control
room is separated from the
main room by a special
window consisting of four
panes of glass in two sets.
The panes are set at an
angle to each other to avoid
reverberation, and the
space between is lined with
heavy carpeting. Almost no
sound can get through the
window.
Steve started playing
guitar at 13 and began
doing body work just out of
high school. He is now, as
he put it, ‘23 going on
30.” He has recorded many
top local groups, played
with some others (he spent
a year touring the East
Coast with one band), and
' written songs.
Steve puts in 10 to 30
hours a week in the studio.
He says the hardest part of
the job is wiring up all the
microphones, amps, and
each
recording session: if
Wrestlers are
champs again
Previously-unbeaten Co-
calico was able to win only
one decision last Saturday,
as the Indian wrestlers won
their twelfth victory of the
year by a score of 35-5.
The win gave Donegal its
third straight Section Two
wrestling crown. The In-
dians have been champions
for four of the last five
years. In the one year that
the first-place crown eluded
them, they finished second.
Their five-year record now
stands at 65 wins, 4 loses,
and one tie.
Gene Funk has been
head coach of the Donegal
grapplers for four of those
five years. Before taking
over the team, he served
seven years as an assistant
under Walt Price—and
before that, Mr. Funk had
been a Donegal Wrestler.
(Mr. Price was his coach.)
In his four years at the
helm, Funk has demon-
strated a remarkable ability
to win. The secret, accord-
- ing to: him, is ‘'good-kids."’
unique
The Indians had some
exceptionally good kids this
season. Four grapplers—
Kent Sweigart (98 Ibs.),
Mike Greiner (112 1bs.),
Arlen Mummau (14S Ibs.),
and Pete Splain (167
lbs.)—were undefeated in
league competition.
“1 think that the devel-
opment of winning wrest-
lers starts in junior high
school,”’ coach Funk says.
‘Some like to say that it
goes back as far as elemen-
tary school. That's where
our kids get their funda-
mentals. 1 think that's the
thing about our
team.
“A lot of teams, when
you see them wrestle,
they're like robots. Every-
guy does the same thing.
On our teams, each kid is
an individual. 1 think that
makes our teams hard to
scout.
