Blackbird Studio's Neve 8078: The console that transformed Music
Large-format, outboard mixing consoles are elaborate devices housing complex conglomerations of buttons, knobs, faders and components. One example is the Neve 8078, a 1970s-era hand-wired desk produced in small quantities and now only in use in a handful of studios.
One of those locations is Studio A at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. In this excerpt from Start to Finish: Vance Powell - Episode 1 - Blackbird Studio A Tour & Setup, Powell describes the modifications made at Blackbird to the 8078’s stock feature set and signal flow. (Note: When you read the terms “to tape” or “tape returns” in this article, it refers to the audio going to or from Pro Tools.)
