It's the absolute best when grown adults get to experience the tingling, ecstatic, can't sit still, feel like running around the house 10x joy level of a child again. Congratulations Glenn. It's the best high ever. Enjoy the ride!

Congrats you talentless pric#. Keep it up. You rock 🤘🤘🤘🤘

As an ex Neve UK employee you have an awesome console right there. I used to be a prototype wireman back in the day and got to meet some amazing artists when they visited us. Great video and so interesting.

Seeing someone who has been consistently helpful to his community for so long reap this reward is so satisfying. Feels like something is right in the World. You and Death Angel or Exodus would be incredible.

Saw Death Angel live in 2022 ...and they fkn ripped. Sounded as good as they ever have, mind blown.

I gotta say, I’m not a metal musician, I’m a country guitar player/singer who happens to love metal. I’ve learned a lot from you, and I’m stoked for you to be able get such and awesome piece of gear!

We are SUPER HAPPY for your Glenn on your new acquisition. That's quite the stepup from REAPER! Hope that you have fun and use your new powers responsibly.... :)

Glenn,congratulations, I think it's great that you showed every one of us what is possible when you stop making excuses put a plan together and never give up,when you punched in that drum audio as soon as it started playing I had this enormous smile on my face,I can only imagine what you will achieve in time,thanks for teaching us all a very important lesson.

Perseverance, grit, resilience. Such key factors. Congrats Glenn, well earned!!

Congrats man! You deserve every knob and fader on that console! Keep going brother! Just the beginning! Windsors finest right here for sure 😎

Congratulations on the new NEVE console. As a guy that worked in the auto industry for 44+ years and even moved to LA in the eighties after going to the RECORDING WORKSHOP in Chillicothe,Ohio for engineering training. It was definitely a WHO YOU KNOW kinda disappointing experience. So after returning to Michigan’s GM , I toiled in the shop while keeping my head in music. I now do guitar repair work and have accumulated a few really great guitars, NO GIBSON’s yet, but a Solar Vee and my pride & joy a Washburn Dime Slime as well as a variety of middle grade guitars. Your NEVE is your CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT brother!!!😅 You have MADE IT!!!

My son is an artist and he gets mad at me for saying he has so much talent. He says, "you think I just woke up one day and could draw well? I worked my butt off everyday, all day to get to this level." In my experience talent means hard work mixed with passion as Glenn shows here. Congrats on the fulfillment of a life long dream. So encouraging.

I love the fact that with all the negatives you had as far as being in the music business, you persevered and made a respectable name for yourself..I'm also a music hobbyist who loves this field..and more respect that you worked 9 to 5 jobs to realize your dream...Congrats Glenn!

The video we've been waiting for and the console Glenn sold his soul for. Congratulations OG Glenn!

I've been following your channel and content for years now. I'm a 75% old school hip-hop and 25% metal head. Basically I like both genres, but I produce hip-hop music. Happy to see someone like you, honest and hardworking, getting that dream come true. We are all happy as if we bought it! Monster console. Enjoy it bro. 💯🔥🔥🔥

I found your channel when I started my education as a stage technician in 2015. After showing my teacher we even viewed some of your videos in class! Wow, nearly a decade ago...

You’re desire for this board is the same for me with why I play the brands I do. We all have a specific desire for certain gear, and want what we want! I’m stoked for ya man, it’s nice to have what you’ve always wanted, and is a pat on the back for all the hard work you’ve put in! And HEAVY METAL the movie RULES!!!!!

Congratulations Glenn, happy for you man! Can't wait to see and hear all your new projects!

Dude congrats man! This is epic and I'm genuinely happy for you. Can't wait to hear the mixes you get out of this console.

Man, the deals on all the Consoles I always wanted back in the day- and finally we can afford them (justified business expense)! Too bad we couldn't take them back in time and gift them to our younger selves... I know I'm dreaming... CONGRATS on the RUPERT NEVE... that's the crown Jewel! Hopefully I will get one someday to replace my A&H. Also, awesome that you're wearing a "HEAVY METAL" T-shirt!!! I keep a DVD on the movie in my truck at all times LOL

Congrats Glenn. I prefer working /w/ hardware also, and find that the limitations also speed up my work too. I quit fussing and get back to working. I don't always agree with your opinions on stuff, but I've never been featured commenter, so I guess my thoughts are more leveled, and cordial. Happy record making.

Howly sheet, this is awesome! Congrats and well deserved 👌🏻 Can‘t wait to hear it in action 🤘🏼

I'm so happy for you mate! That is GREAT news! This video was so inspiring! Thank you for sharing so much over all these years!

Congratulations Glen really happy for you.cant wait to see more videos and mixes.🙏

This was rewarding to watch. Getting a Neve is the ultimate reward for an engineer. You deserve it. Hope you enjoy it!

Congratulations, Glenn, you deserve every bit of success you have!

Congrats ! Well deserved! Looking forward to the setup and debugging video!

I know exactly what Glenn is saying about working faster and option paralysis. I’ve learned to focus on the raw signal going into the DAW and re-amping later, dialing in plugins should always be secondary to capturing your performance. I’ve been tracking in a basic order: Drums, Bass, etc… I find that even when I have a song mapped out and start recording tracks there’s a temptation to want to make everything sound good immediately. Honestly, one of the best performances I ever captured was played through a cheap plugin, like Amplitube or whatever it’s called. The performance still stands out to me more than the tone. I don’t really hear anybody trying to capture Randy’s Ozzy tones but even if the guy didn’t have legendary tone the notes he played are more relevant than anything. No matter how poorly recorded if you can capture a great performance it’s still a great performance. It might not sound as great but people still listen to a lot of poorly recorded music from past decades where technology wasn’t as advanced as it is today. I’m learning to try to capture better raw tones up front and let everything fall into place. Adding the effects in the mix has become part of my mixing process and no longer a part of the recording process. I recently bought a Faderport to do a lot of what Glenn is doing in terms of speeding up the process, baby steps of course but the Faderport is great and there may be other similar devices that help to speed things up. Finding the time and energy for music production is another thing but it’s awesome that people like Glenn are able to do that full time and pay the bills…

Glenn I must say, I’m proud of you!!!!! I’ve been a long time subscriber and seeing your journey, and even your learning journey, is truly inspiring! I’m excited for your future mixes and videos! Keep up the grind!

Congratulations, Glenn. You've definitely earned it. I would love to hear you do a remix of "The Eagle Has Landed" through the console.

Well we can't say that you didn't worked your ass off to get there . Well deserved Glen ! Cheers from Boucherville Quebec Canada ! Keep it up and NEVER FORGET TO ROCK ! !!!!!!!!!

Age does not matter. When a boy/man gets a toy he’s been craving for a long time there is something special about the face. Congratz Glen! I hope you have loads of fun and make amazing music on that thing!

Glenn, you have earned every component in that console and it brings me so much joy to see this video right here. I’ve waited years for this one with you!!! Congratulations brother!!! Here’s to making the metal world a better place!

Oh hell yea! Congratulations Uncle Glenn. The potential of Spectre Sound Studios, actualized! Best in the game. Can’t wait to see you flow on this thing in the coming months 🔥🤘💪

Congrats dude!!! You rock. Thanks for sharing your story!

Congratulations Glenn! Great video, great story and a much deserved achievement. To many more successful milestones in the years ahead!

Congratulations Glen!! This certainly is well deserved. I look forward to your videos every week and love the content and advice. This is coming from 59 y.o. Drummer who has just completed one year of learning guitar under my belt. I have no idea how good I might get on guitar but I couldn’t be learning during better time in history. Thank you for your channel!

You literally made me grin through this entire episode. Seeing you like a kid in a candy store was awesome. I'm happy for you brother! This is exactly what it's all about. Enjoy! I look forward to hearing those awesome mixes.

Dude this is super inspirational. It’s been amazing to be a fan of this channel and watch the growth. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Been watching for a while now and I gotta say, good for you Glen, congratulations on the upgrade! I'm sure you'll mix some bangers on that beast!

You’ve worked very hard. It’s humbling to see the amount of perseverance required to achieve this level of success. Impressive work. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for us little guys. As a hobbyist I learn so much from your channel. Thank you

The reason why musicians don't wanna pay someone to mix their gigs is probably that they aren't getting paid themselves 😄 Congrats in your new equipment Glenn, it looks awesome! I'm glad to see all your hard work is paying off.

Hah yeah thats tragically true. Its really on the house to budget that because most of us musicians barely get enough to afford beers after the show. And if the house DID pay properly (Ie paid musicians well and put in the money for a great PA and audio guy, and perhaps throwing a bit of money at a decent light rig, cos people DO enjoy a light show) they'd find punters would come back time and time again. Its an everyone wins scenario that the bean counters will never understand. Paying musicians well gets you the best bands, paying the crew well gets you the best sound and stage. ANd then the punters will have a blast and happy punters means more beer sales and therefore a happy bar manager. Its a recipe for success.

@@shayneoneill1506 Its a lot more complicated then that unfortunately. The overwhelming majority of us play in lower tier venues. Just like restaurants, these venues operate on razor thin budgets because the monthly expenses drown them. The best bands don't play in these venues because they can play in the mid and top tier venues. Lower tier venues generally only have grassroots promoters, if any, and they don't have any money either. Most live music only happens Thurs-Sat, and even if it does happen on other weekdays, people aren't drinking like the weekend. On top of that, you can't expect all the days to be bangers every week, so you're banking on 12 out of 30 days to (hopefully) cover your overhead. So this idea of the house "throwing a bit of money" for a decent lighting rig or even a decent PA generally becomes impossible. There is no extra money. The mid tier and large venues all have promotor monopolies, where these issues aren't a problem. Running a venue is still running a business, and that's exactly where the "bean counters" come in, and because they understand it, is why you have a venue that is open for you to play in.

Best advice... Get a mixing board, in ear monitors, and then mix your own sound. Send the douchebag at the soundboard 2 channels. Left and right. If they can f*ck that up, you don't need to play there anyway. (It's your sound, and you should set it yourself) *The in ears can help to fix on the fly, and are mandatory for on stage mixing. Playing with an industrial band meant that monitors were a nightmare, mixing was a nightmare, and sound guys were f*cking evil. Taking matters into our own hands was HUGE!!!

Glen!! You absolutely deservee this!! I have been following you since I was in secondary school and watching your video helped mold me into the engineer I am today. What inspired me even most is the hard work and humble beginnings you came which my story. Ive used you as a model to appreciate that I will make it too, just slowly, and that is okay. So I am sooo absolutelyyyy happy that this is where you are today. I hope you appreciate that youre living the dream youve always had!! Keep on being great!!!

It's always affirming to see someone achieve one their dreams! Glenn, you're now officially a walking morality tale about hard work and perseverance! In you place I would have brought a sleeping bag into the room and slept under its warm, glowing goodness!

This video is further proof of hard work paying off, congrats Glenn. You fucking deserve it

Yeah, you swear and you shout but after all you are one of the humblest and knowledgeable chaps on KZread. Thank you for your videos and congrats for taking it to a whole new level.

Good for you Glenn, your story is inspiring. All the best for the future!

I’m not entirely convinced that ‘talent’ even exists. My hypothesis is that ‘talent’ is actually: Interest + Hard Work * Perseverance. Yes, all these three words have sub-attributes that make them up - so Interest also has attributes like enjoyment, enthusiasm, etc. But if you have the broad span of I+H*P, I suspect that’ll get you to the point where someone says, “Hey, you’ve got real talent!” And as other musicians have said, talent is almost always directly proportional to the amount of practice you do…

I like to separate "talent" and "skill." Talent is basically the floor that some people start at or potentially the speed at which they can develop their skill. Skill, on the other hand, is what you were talking about. It's the repeat practice, hours of grind and passion (well, hopefully you do it out of passion) in order to develop your skill. We may start at a different place. We may need a little more time than others, but yes, we could all get there given the right time, resources, and passion for what we do.

I think 90% of it is hard work and dedication, but we all know those guys out there than can and will reach a level above everybody else. I think some people's brains are just suited to certain tasks. There are 8 year olds out there that can shred harder than most 30 year olds who have been practicing their asses off for 10+ years. You don't _need_ to be the best player in the world. Just get good enough to play what you write, then focus on writing.
