Blackbird Studio Tour with John McBride 

You can tell this guy loves his job. Talk about doing what you love.

3:22 omg when john mcbride threw that rare mic I was dying! XD And his excuse was even more perfect "well you gotta have a little fun." hilarious.

When he threw that mic my heart stoped

The only stereo 251 in the world flying through the air was legendary lmao

just amazing! and what a great guy! this video was too short! 👏👏👏👌 💯 ❤️🎶

Y’all need to go to this studio’s academy! I’m only two months in, and I feel like I could run a session in their studios! They have amazing teachers, and they bring outside engineers and producers to give you tips and tricks. You will definitely not regret going!

I recorded some of my new album SHADOWLAND here with the fantastic Ernesto Oliviera on the desk and Kira Small singing with me. The staff were all brilliant and supportive and you could tell everybody there loved what they are doing. From Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift to the guy that just walks in off the street you are certain they will do their best for you. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Thanks to John and the team. This is the nearest that the US has to Abbey Road. Regards from Lockdown England.

In 1977, I mixed an album on the first 8078 installed at Capitol studio B, Capitol in Hollywood. No better sounding console has ever been built....

That API desk blew my freaking mind.

I love this place!! I think John has a great personality and awesome attitude towards his art.. It is my dream to have a studio of my own... I take this as inspiration... Thank you John

Wow, what a job. Love it.... Appreciate the tour!

Wow! WOW!! What a studio!!!!

My heart was in my mouth when he threw the mic...o god....he is crazy...but what collection...like a dream...

I have got the chance to Play in this Studio. Its a AMAZING Place!! Great Video!!

Thanks for the tour! Excellent!

Probably the most impressive studio I've seen! Everything's so practical, no designer this or decor that, or 'look how this drum room doubles as a jacuzzi', it's just all practical. I can imagine with so much at your fingertips there, the creativity must just leak out of everyone inside! And whether they'll ever make the money back that they put in or not is insignificant, because the results from this studio are culturally priceless. Tada is gan iarracht, agus buíochas le dia that someone has the money to make that happen.

Really interesting and I love this guy doing the best and supporting his famous wife and their children- This is a great story and thx for sharing.

Holly shit! This place is heaven for us musicians/producers!!!

Amazing!!!!!!!! Great tour of the sound and acoustics

Thanks for the tour John! That was fun! Peace, Harmony

When he threw that Mic...! What an amazing studio!

Man just to sit in that studio for 20 mins and jam out on the drums is now on my bucket list haha

Great tour! Wow such a wide array of artists mixed here!

Wow wish I had some of that cool ass gear for my little home studio, the history of music recording and equipment in one building, not just a world class recording studio, but a functional museum of sound, incredible!!

Incredible, I love thus stuff!!!

Also what an amazing collection of instruments and gear for use! awesome

Now that’s a great boss! Would be such a joy to work for that guy.

I love this Guy’s attitude. He can bring the best out of someone

wow, awesome studio !

i dont have the smallest home recording and i love this so much i can watch it all day long

love this guy

What a great place to work, and a great place to learn!

I’m planning to a project here. I can’t wait!

What an awesome facility, keep making hits Mr. McBride.

lol did he really just throw 100k

Amazing studio!!!

best studio ever !!!!

love that Reverb room I didn't know it back then, but that's why a lot of home studios I recorded at had the Mic in the bathroom

Super sweet!

If I could record only one of my songs at this studio, I would live happily ever after.

Awesome studio making history.

Just awesome

Wow! awesome video

my dream studio

omg...stunning!

incredible man

Its amazing...I wanna study there!!

Daaaaaayyyyyyyummmmm! This setup is dope as hell. I'm converting the back of a box truck into a pro studio... space is an issue, but hopefully I can still pull off something as epic as this! Thx for the vid 🤘

sick studio!!

This was educational im still taking notes :) thanks fuse

Omg... This studio is insane

VERY NICE!! you got tv comercial voice

I've actually been here. Studio C is a trip, the wood is freaky in real life. I listened to a beck record in there, too, and it was like beck was standing there in person singing. I can't believe they didn't show the game room! it's above the recording room with the red lamps. It's like a man cave! Happy recording

Yes! I would be in heaven

Wow . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !

Why am i now seeing this video. While im here using a reverb plugin this guy is using an actual room...... Epic

Would love to arrange a tour. Sounds like a place that my son would get more inspired. He relocated to Nashville 10 months ago and would LOVE it there. I will send your very friendly video to him.

What a great guy! 👏

Mind blowing~!

never thought rock bands recorded in Nashville - very cool!

Attending the Conservatory right now. This place is definitely my first choice for my internship. If I make it in I'd be honored to work for John. He's a legend in the industry.

now this is a real studio!!!

Catch ... Ahahaha 100 k almost went down

That's a studio! Period.

AWESOME PLACE

Awesome guy!

Very nice would love to record there one day

My dad worked with this guy at GLW Harrison consoles in coolsprings, tn back in the 90's...

wow very nice!!!

I would kill to internship here. I'd totally just sweep the floors and clean the boards just to be close to this stuff.

I live about 2 or 3 hours away from blackbird studios and I might be able to go there if only I could sing lol

Awesome studio. Thanks for this inspire video. I wish i can be one of the student. I'M 51 years old and i play a lots of music instrument, and I recording with pro tools only for me and my family and friend, and learning from you tube, but is no is enough. Also is expensive. I just bought a Neumann tom 107. Thanks for the video and congratulation.

I liked those wooden diffusion method. Pretty handy and effective.

nice and inspiring

Wow . amazing gears.

Please make more video's like this.

Dream job right here

i am so afraid of liquid in such room lol

When he threw that mic, I lost it. Shocking and funny at the same time. My kind of guy... Still laughing...

Awesome

I was just thinking "oh man he better not drop that mic" and then he proceeds to throw the damn thing. Jeeeeeeeesshh XD

Very cool! David Curtis Drumming

I saw that!

Sounds Good

Would love to record with Blackbird Studios!

Wooooooow

Heaven on Earth

I'm making a visit/session at Blackbird a priority before 2020

Fucking amazing.

my buddy is sitting on the couch hahahaha

This is the kind of place where anything is possible.

Nice tour John. Lots to be proud of there. It's nice to see someone with the passion still making recordings. I only hope some of that wears off on your students.

Holy shit,

35 premium drumkits...damn, they spent in hardcases for those drums 10 times my budget for my whole recording studio!

I can only imagine how much that would cost

ill buy it with every single thing I own

Sweet miclocker!!

ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to heaven!

I live in Murfreesboro, just 30 minutes away 😱😱😱

LET ME RECORD THERE PLEASE, EVEN JUST ONCE OH.MY.LORD.
