Video: Allen Sides At Ocean Way

I found this to be pretty cool. He talks about some crazy ways he obtained some decent gear from 670's to 2,000 tube mics!!!

I guess it's ok to post it here? I can't post in the video section.

yeah... when we went the way of the titanic he was right there too... got some real good stuff at bargain basement prices. stuff that i got again at a later date.

he's such a nice (and knowledagable) guy you just can't help but like him though... and admire him for what he's accomplished.

one thing i'll never forget:

'people don't realize it's not the studio business... that doesn't exist. the real estate business is where you can make some $. the studio is just a place to have fun while while your property goes up in value, then you move.'

meantime i was renting, so the advice may have come a little too late but you live and learn. the studio is in my house now, so no overhead and what comes in, comes in. now i have fun... so thanks allen.

brilliant guy and great engineer... thumbsup cool video kurt, thanks.

I bought out gear from 3 studios (Pre-eBay) in the mid 80's You could get gear pretty cheap then paid $100.00 for 9 - 1176's. Without those bankruptcy sales I would have never been able to afford to buy my gear.
It was an interesting clip ... Thanks for the link thumbsup
