Neve 88R Console: Allen Sides At Ocean Way Recording

[headbagger63]

i don't understand we some engineers need that much gear i know analog gear makes a good sound but Really that console on its own would be good

[SYLEX100]

ONE OF THE CRAZIEST STUDIOS I'VE EVER SEEN =o!!! very nice=)..

[DarkAndDunkler]

I can't even get my mic connected to my pc..*g*

[BlackSoulent]

is all that gear really necessary?

[jrs89]

@BlackSoulent Is asking that really necessary?

[JackDMC]

ITI EQ wooooaaah that is rare bro !

[djveto]

This dude is a serious O.G. the real deal. His name is spoken in the most famous studios in the world. I know its true because I've been there done that. Thanks for posting was fun to watch. Long live ocean way it one of the last greats left.

He keeps backing away from his interviewer and the guy keeps chasing him with the mic. The guy knows he's awesome and the interviewer is a kiss-up, what a great combination. i like the snap with nigel godrich at the end. Amazing gear.

Its funny how he look at the racks and says "compressors, limiters, eqs" but has no fking clue as to WHAT is in there....

@dannycurtean

Oh yes he does, homeboy! I worked at Ocean Way 15 years ago and after weeks of cutting electric guitars, Allen Sides came in and said that there was a discrepancy between the two ribbon tweeters in the main monitors. Sure enough, the maintenance staff came in within 5 minutes and were ALL OVER IT. Something was wrong with one of the amplifiers. But he heard it with 1 minute of listening! That guy knows his studio(s) very, very well.

[dannycurtean]

@tekis0 I apologize, Im actually talking about the guy that SAID "compressors, limiters, eqs" NOT Mr. Sides. If you were to read what I wrote it would make some sense. Allan Sides is hands down one of the best engineers walking this earth.

[weRtheConformed]

i am certified on that board......need another engi?

[pchambin]

A) Allen Sides is a LIVING LEGEND... He's been asked to talk about his past, so how's he supposed to formulate his sentences without "I" in there???

B) Of course he's walking back... the "journalist" is interviewing him in front of a f***** open door! When there's a wall of amazing historical gear on the other side!!

[zellymusic]

its not like he is BsING look at his room I mean Wow

he has real social proof of what he says unlike most folks who say I when they really mean we or they !

[vitchb]

Behringer xenyx FTW!!!!

[Timzsk8]

[weareeden]

ahahaha

[JoleFIN]

[dalexb98]

How many times can Alan say "I"

He's the greatest, if you dont believe it, just ask him.

[narcoman2]

[guitardaze]

"me me me myself I we did, I did this I did that blah blah blah" Pretty cool stories though.

[fortysicsand2]

look at all those surface twisters! bah...

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Now I hate this guy even more.....

[OlviMasta77]

how much power does all of that gear eat up when all is turned on? per hour? :)

[bunkytony]

mega mega mega watts!!! that's why they have four Onan three phase alternaters out back, not to mention the bill for the diesel fuel!! No just kidding
