Well you had some AMS unit doing something, but being that at the time I didn't even know what AMS was, I couldn't say what it was for. And I don't remember if it was an RMX16 or a DMS1580.
I also remember that you were had the console set to VCA to meters, which was unbeknownst to me at the time as I hadn't even seen an SSL before. I asked you why you used so much compression that the signal on the meters didn't even move. That's when you taught me about VCA to meters in as polite a way as one possibly could respond to someone asking one of the stupidest questions anyone has probably ever heard.
Come to think of it I should post about that in the "stupidest things ever said in a recording session' thread. Maybe I can win an award.
I also remember Bill S telling me how they would sometimes eat lunch in the stairway while you were mixing and sing harmonies to screw with you. Don't know if that's true, but a funny story either way.
