We were supposed to move next door to the studio with a giant Neve desk, but we didn't; we stayed in the demo studio, and that's where we remained pretty much for the next two years.” |
The demo studio had an EMI TG desk and a Studer A80 16 tracks as well as access to the mic collection of the big brother ( 200+ microphones 10s of 47,49,C12s ,67s etc..) .
The reverb was an EMT 240 and the delay was a Revox tape machine . .
When they "improved " the studio they put a TAC Matchless in place of the TG with a 3M 24 tracks to replace the Studer (horrible) !
