John Kurlander

John Kurlander on Paul McCartney asking what his fav album was:⁠ "I was so tired at the time because it was two or three in the morning and he asked what my favourite album was. Without skipping a beat, I said, 'Pet Sounds.'" 😭⁠

Clarke Rigsby

Clarke Rigsby: "Steve Gadd [drums] lives here. When I first met him, which was years ago when he first got here, he came here and did a jazz record. I said, 'Steve, most guys have studios at their houses. Do you want me to hook up a system for you at home?' He said, 'No, I don’t want that shit at my house! I want to come and hang.' Now we’ll spend an hour working on the track and two hours bullshitting." https://tapeop.com/interviews/152/clarke-rigsby/

Grace m908 Monitor Controller Review

"Incredible sound quality, options for almost any input and output need, and the flexibility to program multiple speaker layouts and have them available at the press of a button are just a few of the standouts in this truly full-featured unit." https://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/152/m908-monitor-controller/

The Boxmasters Interview in Tape Op 152

Billy Bob Thornton: "If Geoff [Emerick] didn't like something, it was muted. He was not shy. It's like, 'We don't need this. That needs to go away.' Anything that cluttered the way of the vocal and the song, he got rid of." https://tapeop.com/interviews/152/boxmasters-are/

UA Volt 476P Review

"It has the same essential features as its little brothers (Volts 176, 276 [Tape Op #148], and 476) but differentiates itself with four analog preamp inputs and two headphone outputs." https://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/152/volt-476p-interface/

Clarke Rigsby:

"[Paul McCartney] picks up the cover, looks at it, and says, 'I don’t even have one of these.' I said, 'Well, I’m sure you could get one if you want. Of course, this one would be cooler if you signed it.'" https://tapeop.com/interviews/152/clarke-rigsby/
