The SSL large format analog mixing console at Sawhorse Studios, St. Louis MO. I have had the pleasure of recording and mixing songs with this legendary vintage console. (Studio owner Jason McEntire imported the console from Germany where the last recording it was used for was the 1981 hit, "Der Kommissar" by Falco)!
