I was Bob Auger's assistant for several years in the 1980s. Fond memories! 8 track Scully then later 16 track Ampex. Neve 16 track desk with removable modules. Big truck full of gear. Wish I'd bought the 8 original U87s when Bob packed it in! Worth a small fortune these days. Tony is hugely knowledgable about this subject.

Definatley a legend - and what a nice bloke too! I've often taken a chance on classical CD's without any knowledge about the music/orchestra/conductor/performance just because it's got TF's name on the back - at least I know the sound will be great!

@rodemicrophones Oh I'm subscribed! haha I really enjoy listening to actual professionals rather than some other kids like me trying to tell you about audio gear and techniques. You can only learn from people better than you, so I greatly appreciate everyone at Rode who makes these great videos possible. Thank you Thank you!
