Console Resurrection! Sammy and Grady Tackle a Soundcraft & Otari MX 70

A "surprise" visit with Sammy from Sammy and the Hi8s on YouTube leads to reassembling the Soundcraft Sapphyre 44 channel recording console and a test of the Otari MX-70 1" 16 track analog tape machine. This was such a fun collab and video to make. Make sure to check out Sammy and the Hi8s on YouTube. Sammy's videos are some of my favorite recording gear videos on all of YouTube!

So grateful to Sammy from Sammy and the Hi8s channel for traveling all the way from the Ozarks to assist with the Soundcraft Sapphyre console resurrection and MX-70 test! Go check out his channel:
