Fantastic interview. This RCA Studios A and B are both iconic and Dave Cobb is certainly on a roll with the artists and albums he is producing. And he is letting bands play in the same room and make a unique sound. Not to the detriment of the quality of the tracks but making them better. I would love to spend a day with the guy and just hang, pick his brain, and watch him work. Such a good series and this might be the best one yet. Way to go Mark and crew…..keep them comin’!

Chet was once asked " what is the Nashville sound" and he put his hand in his pocket and shook a handful of coins!...................

I grew up on Music City row - 1516 Villa place - We would check out the recording artist in the neighborhood late at night and early morning riding around in their fancy cars. I remember Bobby Goldsboro and a few other country artist . There were publishing houses and recording studios all over this Edgehill district of Nashville and most people had no clue what was going on. Night Time is the Right time!!!! Cobb

I watched a video of Chickenfoot recording with Sammy Hagar they do everything as a group in the same room at the same time. And he said the same thing about the mojo of being able to see as well as hear the other instruments. They have plexiglass dividers between the mics so the bleed is reduced, but having the kick drum mic get a little of the bass and guitar actually thickens things up and makes it fatter and bigger sounding. Of course there's going to be overdubs but Sammy said they usually will run through a track once to work out the changes and then the first take is usually the one they go with, even if there's a minor glitch or other mistake, as long as it's not too bad they just roll with it. That's why legendary songs like Bohemian Rhapsody are so perfect, because the humanity hasn't been Autotuned and quantized out of existence. The take is the take.

"I am not a historian of the Nashville sound," with an Orange halfstack sitting in the background. I like that. Thanks for asking about the financial status, Mark. That was one of the first questions that popped into my head when the video started. This series just keeps getting better. (:

Just going to throw this out there: Now that Gibson has brought Mesa into the fold, they need to look for a space to put all their equipment to use. If this studio (again) falls into financial problems, JC needs to come to the rescue. I'd be fun to watch Mark work in a studio. . .

Love this. Focus on more country stuff while/since you’re in Nashville and I{ll tune in. A little Dai ice though: Part of what we loved about you (Mark) on guitar of the day was the emotional/human aspect. When you played “Halo” instrumental fir Jen, it felt like love, and made (some of) us well up. When you shouted out birthdays to folks who were having hard times or good times or neither, it was nice. And of course when Tom died, everyone cried. I think your humanity needs to shine through on this channel too. You were so great as the reluctant feeler who felt nonetheless. Peace.

Thanks for doing this! Mark, I met you a couple of months ago at the Gibson Garage here when you invited us folks from Sam Ash (where I teach Guitar) over. This was really cool as oddly I have not been in Studio A, only Studio B. I do recall well when the developers were trying to knock it down, as they have half of Music Row already, and SO glad Ben Folds and Sharon stepped in to save it. Thanks again for doing this video.
