This is my 100th post for Balance, so I thought I would do something a bit different. Here is a review of the various consoles used by the totally great Radiophonic Workshop over the years

SSL E Series

For some reason I haven't posted much about SSL desks. Maybe they don't come up for sale so often or something, or maybe they don't catch my eye so much, which is pretty odd considering how into early 80s stuff I am. Anyway here is a great looking console from 1982

Cheap Cadac - OK it was a scam

Another bargain it seems on eBay. UPDATE via Wolfgang Willms - seems this was a scammy auction. Here is the feedback from the buyer: "This is a scam. Seller won't reply to emails. Avoid!"

Some Neve History

I visited a studio in Brixton, London yesterday for the recording of some strings for an album we're doing. They had a massive Neve VR so I got some pics of it. It really is enormous this thing

Strawberry Studios

I just found this youtube by accident, and it happens to contain footage of this console. It's from Strawberry Studios in Stockport, which was mostly known for 10cc recordings, but also saw the likes of The Smiths and Joy Division. In the wiki page it mentions "a real purpose-built control desk"....
