For today’s ‘Gear That Made Us’ we’re highlighting the ATOC (Automatic Transient Overload Control - TG12330), an elusive mastering tool specially designed for Abbey Road in the mid-‘60s.

How can you start to carve your career as a producer or engineer? As part of our 90th-anniversary #Amplify event, Abbey Road Institute hosted an award-winning producer and engineer panel, who discussed their different routes into the industry.

Hosted by Abbey Road Institute lecturer Charlie Thomas, the panel was composed of mix and mastering engineer Manon Grandjean, producer, engineer and writer Aamir Yaqub and engineer and producer Ricky Damian.

50 years ago today, Wings released their debut LP 'Wild Life' recorded at Abbey Road over eight days in the summer of ’71.
