I didn't realize Grohl bought it for his Studio 606. Very cool ...

I still miss making records on the custom 8048 that I helped restore up ad Sound Design. The sound was amazing, but the maintenance was a headache.

People who use the mic preamp / EQ still have no idea how absolutely awesome it was to record with the actual consoles, with the 2" tape machine in the adjacent room, and hearing that back.

No cheating either. You either got it, or not.

BTW I did preorder the movie. Can;t wait to watch it.

And I live in Northridge, so I'll have to find out where Dave's studio is... maybe I can intern there for a bit.
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Did you go to the Providence showing? That was the only area-ish one I could find.

"1. Producers can?t cheat with it
No Pro Tools, Auto-Tune, or cherry-picking bits of several songs to craft one flawless gem. Mess up on the Neve and you either start over or live with imperfection."

Everything is going to be OK.
