Ocean Way Studio A
Dee Long and I began building the new Fairlight/Midi room at AIR Studios in 1985, with Malcolm Atkin, Dave Harries, John Goldstraw and Henk. The technical department were soon busy with Rupert Neve, adding 16 channel’s of his Focusrite 101 strips to the Neve A8971 custom console that he had made in 1981 for Studio 1.
10 years later I found myself in Ocean Way Studio A in Hollywood, mixing These Strange Times with Ken Allardyce, for Fleetwood Mac, on one of the 10 Focusrite Studio Consoles that were built using the 101 modules in the 1990’s.
John Jones, Ray Kennedy, Mick Fleetwood and Jimmy Hotz in Studio A at Ocean Way, 1990’s.
Here is a documentary on these Focusrite consoles, with Alan Sides showing us Studio A on Sunset Boulevard at 3:39.
