Then run the | signal through some tape heads. A proper "hack". | rock_artist wrote: | In the audio industry he's one of those legends.

The 1073 is awesome, I agree. | conradfr wrote: | What a legend. | buggeryorkshire wrote: | My old boss Mike Grimwood used to work with him. He had many | tales of building desks for stars and getting absolutely smashed | with them. Sounded like a great time to be alive. | sharksauce wrote: | Anyone with even a passing interest in analog recording should | spend a couple hours watching the Sound City documentary. | GaryD1041 wrote: | A legend was lost.
