    3:22 omg when john mcbride threw that rare mic I was dying! XD And his excuse was even more perfect "well you gotta have a little fun." hilarious.

    I recorded some of my new album SHADOWLAND here with the fantastic Ernesto Oliviera on the desk and Kira Small singing with me. The staff were all brilliant and supportive and you could tell everybody there loved what they are doing. From Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift to the guy that just walks in off the street you are certain they will do their best for you. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Thanks to John and the team. This is the nearest that the US has to Abbey Road. Regards from Lockdown England.

      Does the day rate include access to all of the musical instruments, or is there a separate fee for such?

    The only stereo 251 in the world flying through the air was legendary lmao

    • @xeverettx2564
      @xeverettx2564 2 года назад

      It’s only metal, wires, and soldering. The value comes from rarity not all function. I use sm57 and 58’s. Don’t get me wrong I’d love anything old telefunkin.

    In 1977, I mixed an album on the first 8078 installed at Capitol studio B, Capitol in Hollywood. No better sounding console has ever been built....

      I agree with this statement. Everyone loves the workflow and routing flexibility of these newer SSL's but the pre's and EQ's just do, not, compare to anything Rupert Neve designs.

      He has that insured, and they NEVER use that microphone. It's a collectible piece.

    Y’all need to go to this studio’s academy! I’m only two months in, and I feel like I could run a session in their studios! They have amazing teachers, and they bring outside engineers and producers to give you tips and tricks. You will definitely not regret going!

  • @ThatRainbowDude
    @ThatRainbowDude 9 лет назад +1

    Probably the most impressive studio I've seen!
    Everything's so practical, no designer this or decor that, or 'look how this drum room doubles as a jacuzzi', it's just all practical.
    I can imagine with so much at your fingertips there, the creativity must just leak out of everyone inside!
    And whether they'll ever make the money back that they put in or not is insignificant, because the results from this studio are culturally priceless. Tada is gan iarracht, agus buíochas le dia that someone has the money to make that happen.

    • @slamcrank
      @slamcrank 6 лет назад +6

      haha, that was great. - that's definitely not "the only" stereo 251 that Telefunken ever made, though. It might be the "prototype", but there is at least one more of them. There is one in Jackson Browne's studio.

    • @rckstr1123

    • @JoeyTheEnchanter
      @JoeyTheEnchanter 6 лет назад

      Telefunken now makes replicas of them but John’s is the only original one

    • @slamcrank
      @slamcrank 6 лет назад +3

      JoeyShirkMusic - while it's nice that you believe him, it's simply not true. There were at least 25 of the microphones made in the early 1960's during prototyping and there were a small number made in official runs before they were discontinued and replaced with the AKG C24 stereo. The last one I saw was around 2003 and I believe Studio No. 9 in Toronto purchased it. There is definitely one in Jackson's studio.

    • @mattbingham2856
      @mattbingham2856 Год назад

      Hands down the best sound man to ever live! GOAT of the industry, and he used to run a company called MD Clair Brothers before he & Martina was married. Was running sound for over 100 different artists in every genre.

  • @HighSchoolLaffs
    @HighSchoolLaffs 11 лет назад +1

    I've actually been here. Studio C is a trip, the wood is freaky in real life.
    I listened to a beck record in there, too, and it was like beck was standing there in person singing.
    I can't believe they didn't show the game room! it's above the recording room with the red lamps. It's like a man cave!
    Happy recording
