Neve 88R Console: Wheeling And Dealing With Allen Sides At Ocean Way Recording

February 06, 2008
Ocean Way Recording

We visited Ocean Way Recording in Los Angeles where Allen Sides showed us a fractional amount of gear in comparison to the mountains of it he's bought and sold throughout the years. Currently, an ITI Equalizer [George Massenburg's first EQ] and a custom Neve 88R -- similar to those used by Sony and FOX.

To be fair [and balanced], all that gear was great, but it was nothing in comparison to the stories Allen told us about amassing all this gear and making some smart coin in the process.

Attention, kids -- don't get any ideas about writing a $6,000 check your behind can't cash. You're not Allen Sides, and legal results may vary.
