Reel sounds
Recording artist Dave Grohl becomes a film maker and pays tribute to
A recording studio in Van Nuys CA that has been the epicenter of rock record production.
Many stars come to visit and record at this last bastion of analog recording. Analog? That old fashioned system where the sound is a lot better. Warm and full. Tape! Microphones in a room where the sound is important. The "feel" is discussed at length.
The film is great to watch and to listen to. The artists abound with bits of their music and talk about working in a studio and why this one is the best.
It all ends with a triumphant visit from Paul McCartney who is still making recordings at a ripe old age. But there are plenty of young artists here also.
I liked it. Very entertaining and informative. What else could you ask. I would happily watch it again. I would like to hear the snatches of music and see the people again. Many who are no longer on the scene like me. A 4 out of Netflix5.
