A video tour of Dave grohls studio with his Neve board would be a treat. The story behind how he acquired it is also super interesting.

What a fascinating guy. Must have been a privilege to sit and interview him. A real stalwart in an industry where only a handful of the major facilities have survived

[@jeffconley819]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. I’ve always wanted to tour that place and after seeing this I want to even more.

[@JoshFryer]

I would give anything to sit with this man for a week and just bullshit about music. Every interview he does further cements his obvious love of music. Love some J McB!

I purchased this plug-in about 4 months ago, and DAM! This thing sounds good on everything ive put it on.

Great, friendly interview. John has got to be one of the most knowledgeable audio guys around. It had to be a thrill to be at Blackbird

19:25 I Bought an ATI paragon 2 for the studio because I always wanted an SSL E 4000 but couldn't see paying 40 grand for 40 channels, but the Paragon was the closest console to the SSL. After having it for a couple years I can say I would not trade it for a 4000 E or even a new Duality. The EQ is more versatile than the SSL and the compressors on each channel have the same VCA flavor as an SSL but the makeup gain is never too loud with the ATI it's always perfect!!

[@andrewglasmacher]

Amazing studio and great interview, Mitch!

A genuine interview, very nice. Great video too, thanks 🤘

[@BassGods]

I like those studio speakers in the background.

[@EricWatkins7]

I've been lucky enough to get two tours through Blackbird, and it is beyond amazing.

[@stevendierkes6028]

Such a cool story

[@christiansloat]

Never paid for a plug-in but have been considering this on recently.

[@StereoAnthony]

Great interview! I'm sure whoever mixed the audio for this video had a hell of a time with sibilance from Johns mic. Can't wait to check out more plugins from Blackbird. Ive heard mixed reviews on the Neve, but I'm very interested in hearing the whole console made into a plugin!

[@sadul]

Great stuff!

[@scotteepunk]

Wow, I want to record a record at Blackbird studio. I love Nashville Music City!!!
