Blackbird Studio's Neve 8078: The console that transformed Music

Large-format, outboard mixing consoles are elaborate devices housing complex conglomerations of buttons, knobs, faders and components. One example is the Neve 8078, a 1970s-era hand-wired desk produced in small quantities and now only in use in a handful of studios.
One of those locations is Studio A at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. In this excerpt from Start to Finish: Vance Powell - Episode 1 - Blackbird Studio A Tour & Setup, Powell describes the modifications made at Blackbird to the 8078’s stock feature set and signal flow. (Note: When you read the terms “to tape” or “tape returns” in this article, it refers to the audio going to or from Pro Tools.)

So, you're saying it's better to mix on this console than the Digi 001 w/ ProTools LE. We need to battle this out

[@cbird02]

Just a leftover term for those that were around for more than a few decades. He means to or from ProTools as mentioned in the description.
