Okay, done. Sorry, I sometimes forget that not everyone around the world has fast, uncapped tubes.

Yeah, I'll have to agree with mattyb on this.

Why do multi-coloured patchbay cables always get me hot?

Oh, and the button thingy looks like a custom version of the "get me a coffee you stupid intern" button. It's wired to a large red light in the cupboard under the stairs (where we usually keep the interns while they wait for tasks).

If only there were someway to give access to the higher-res picture, without tanking the internet connections of the losers on the forum. Like a link. Oh, if only this technology were available.

Maybe it's a sound meter? Could be next to a booth, making sure everything is sounding correct while his audio is playing.

Cosmetically, it seems to me to match the device to the left of his monitor, behind the laptop (we can only see the corner of it). So if anyone knows what that thing is, I think we'd be set.
It's also possible that he's getting ready to be beamed up.

Close, but not quite right. Maybe he is a Romulan.

My guess is that there is a short somewhere. Is there smoke too?

That's a retail box version of Reason. And a screwdriver.

Nope.
1. He's in the control room, at the workstation. Nowhere near a "booth".
2. Sound meter is used for maximum volume, not "sounding correct" - there's engineers' ears (primarily), with secondary support from highly specialized rack/computer equipment and mixing consoles for making sure things sound correct.
3. No sensor bulb, no level display.
4. He's a sound engineer in the control room. If he needs an SPL meter in that situation, he has no business being there.

I think you're seeing the USB cable attached to the left side of the keyboard. I can't identify any cables coming from it.

I think it's his garage door remote. The guy with the Hammond's outside and just called to let him know he's ready to unload.

My sarcasm meter is dead today so I can't tell if you guys are just screwing around, but I was referring to the raised panel of buttons on the left edge of the picture.

I'm being serious. I don't see any cables or wiring going into the box in his hand.

Yeah, me neither, but I'm assuming it's just a remote of some kind. I think the look of it definitely matches the panel I mentioned.

We don't use wireless remotes in the studio. Just doesn't happen (well, in 20 years I've never come across it) - they're all wired to ensure reliability. And it doesn't really match up to the panel in the left rack riser at all (unless by "matching up" you mean they're both boxes with buttons).
I can't think of anything at all in a studio which would use only one button. Except the garage door opener and the "get your ass in here you lamer interns" button.

The dude is John Feldmann. I was looking through Wikipedia and saw the pic, and got curious.
No-one have any idea? He is a producer, btw, if that helps.

From looking at the full-sized version, I was thinking it looked like a generic Radio Shack remote. Perhaps to one of their old plug-n-power appliance control boxes. But it didn't match any of the pictures I dug up, and even the full-sized pic isn't good enough to show a brand name or logo.
