Apologies for the naming error throughout the video in the voice over.

Wish i'd kept my 244. I had it fully serviced. Its ergonomics were ideal 4 the home studio. I replaced it with the 246 .. that's 6 into 4. Serviced that too, only slightly bigger, more features, still have it. Love those honkin' gr8 VUs. All so perfect for a small analogue home studio

The 244 was my studio when I was 16. Somehow it got lost. I still miss it.

You keep saying '2-2-4' and 1-1-4'... 🤣 Might be worth checking the script before recoding and then uploading to avoid those gaffs...

Go a little easier on the voice over. Sometimes you have to take a few baubles off the tree.
