Looks like Nick Mason of Pink Floyd circa 1967
BTW, I'm sure our residents tape heads recognize the machine!
It's Paul McCartney, 1970, and he is at home recording his first LP. That is a Studer A-80 16 track machine I believe. Paul recorded this LP at home and he played every instrument on every track.
Mark is right but I had the date as '79.
Knew you'd know that Roger
Almost... There are two A80 basic models: A80RC and A80VU. It is a Studer A80VU model in the photo and at least 16 tracks but it could also be a -24 model for 24 track machine. If it was a -24, then 16 audio modules are located on on top and 8 more channels in the bottom section tilted up but can't see it from the photo.
Picky, picky
Guilty as charged, Myles. ;-)
The last two Studer A80RCs I retrieved from a studio in Vancouver, BC, the studio owner showed me the same A80VU-16 machine in the back and told me that I could have it for free... I had my daughter's Toyota Prius loaded up to the max with two A80RCs and stands disassembled (must be a record). If I just had a little more room in that car....wooooo "I could've been a contender..."
