Go behind the scenes at Real World and meet the team who help make it one of the world’s premier recording facilities. Peter Gabriel's personal engineer Dickie Chappell also gives us an exclusive sneak peek into Peter’s writing room and recording process.

For those who may be interested, here's a link to a recent SOS review of Focusrite's Clarett-8/Clarett 8X mic preamp/I-O (Thunderbolt):

Hi all!

Just stopped-in to see how the old stompin grounds are doing.

Tommy, glad to see you're still carrying the torch here. ^5!

OH, Tommy, check out billfitzmaurice.com and his forum. I think it may be right up your alley, Bro!

All is well here, but I have way too many irons in the fire. Spreadin myself too doggone thin LOL.

Hi Everyone,
I'm curious about the DAV BG1 pre. I've heard some great things about it, and it's not ludicrously expensive. I read elsewhere that it's absolutely glorious with a Shure KSM-44 on vocals. I hope I got the mic name right; anyhow it's the multi-pattern retro looking one.
