First time studio experience.
When I was a little kid my guitar teacher at the time (Anders Andersson) built himself a recording studio, and by that I mean he literally built himself a studio. He built the mixing console, the main studio monitors, a plate reverb and so on from the ground up by himself. Something of a technical genius. They bought a Scully 1″ 8 track tape machine to the studio and I remember the first time I had the chance to make a recording in that studio, I was in heaven. There was no turning back.
Anders studio
That was the same kind of tape machine that Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and Slash had used. The one that they used on the Slash recording was a 16 track version of the Scully owned by stellar producer Eric Valentine. I even remember how it smelled in the studio from all the soldering going on and all the warm tube amps etc. I must have been like a plague visiting the studio quite often when the guys building all the stuff.
Jimi Hendrix
That experience made me almost go crazy about recording. I made recordings on my cassette deck, on my friends reel to reel tape machine, everything I could get my hands on. At last we got ourselves a Tascam Portastudio (model 246) and we kept on recording. It was indeed very exciting times.
