<p>Wow that's a bijoux desk for a guy like him. Here's what he used for mixing DSOTM:</p>

<p>I used to do a bit of sound work (even got a diploma in Audio Engineering somewhere) and it used to crack me up when you'd set up in a pub and invariably some half pissed punter would sidle up and say 'man, how do you keep track of what all those knobs do'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Always good to then just say 'it's just experience mate, takes a while' rather than just explain that there's really only one row of 'knobs' they just get repeated for every channel you have mic'd up.</p> -
<p>Doesn't surprise me in the slightest to find out you are experienced at handling multiple knobs</p>

<p>Yep. Alan Parsons was the engineer on it. Back in those days he actually had to make a lot of the equipment he used from scratch and invented a lot of the doubletracking techniques that became commonplace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nowadays when digital production and engineering tools are commonplace it's probably hard for anyone who wasn't around back in 1973 to realise how groundbreaking DSOTM was. It was apparently bloody hard to make, and the effects were, for back then, mindblowing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My mate's dad got it for himself for his birthday but he wasn't allowed to play it through his speakers as the noise upset his wife. So the first time I heard it was at their place and was also the first time I'd even seen a pair of headphones. It's probably not stretching things to say listening to that LP on those headphones changed my life.</p> -
<p>gollum - that was fucking gold. Old school comedy. Can't like it as I've run out of likes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>JK - awesome. Love those retrospective moments where you can put your finger on something and say "yep, that was the thing. Right fucking <em>there!</em>"</p>

<p>Donald Trump goes on a Q&A session on twitter, and the public deliver some gold. You really have to click through, and I'm sure there are many more.</p>
