Now that Record Plant is officially closed it’s hard to find the words to describe what this place has meant to me. Almost my entire adult life has been tied to RP in one way or another.
I met my wife on a plane while traveling to record an artist I met at Record Plant. RP allowed me to become brothers with the most incredible collection of people, forever bonded by endless, endless nights that turned into mornings. Everyone so different and uniquely talented, the best of which operated at the highest level of any team I’ve been a part of. Working for
@manncherney ,
@jasoncarsontech and
@barnaclej I learned the hard way what it means to be a professional, to this day those experiences define much of who I am. We paid a price for the lessons learned inside those walls.
After all I had been through at that place, coming back to build my own mix room upstairs and having the privilege of training the engineering staff for the last two years has made the whole journey feel like it had truly come full circle. The gratitude I have for
@barnaclej runs deep.
I could go on forever (clearly) about what this place means to me. Almost as long as every RP engineer likes to talk about how their generation had it the harder than the one after.
Thanks for everything Record Plant, I’m forever grateful.
