Hey everybody, Will Lee here.
Coming to you from my beautiful studio,
The Beatles Museum in New York City.
I'm coming to you to tell you a little story
that I thought I would never admit to anyone.
And it goes way back to the days of
hosting one of many
tech awards shows, which I loved doing,
being the emcee, the guy with the suit on, telling jokes,
introducing people and talking about awards and things.
And so for many years, I have been relying heavily
on this little baby over my shoulder, the Big Knob.
And, you know, even though as the emcee,
of course, I was called upon to be impartial about things.
But back in 2005,
at one of the great tech award shows in L.A.
during NAMM, one of the inductees
was, of course, Mackie, the Big Knob.
It was up for an ancillary award.
And I was supposed to be
impartial about all this, of course.
But backstage, I now admit
that when Big Knob won the award that year,
I went very unprofessional
and started jumping up and down with joy
because I thought, okay, these guys,
they've really made the right move.
This is, this is the most deserving thing.
I have relied on this product so heavily.
It's got everything that I need for my studio.
Multiple ins, multiple outs,
the master volume, which it's known for,
The Talk Back,
which I have a vocal booth
and it's been incredible for that.
And it's just like one of the most
beautifully designed pieces of equipment,
and I hope everybody has one.
I can't live without it.
