<p class="MsoNormal">John Windt ran Motown’s shop in Detroit and
built the first 1” 8-track with remote input switching and
punch-in capability in 1964. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tom Dowd told me we pioneered modern
multitrack recording. He had only used Atlantic’s second-ever
machine for a safety and for stereo remix capability on live
to mono dates. John told me he excitedly told Les Paul about
that machine at the next AES show and to his surprise, Paul
was ready to slug him. I told that story to Dowd and he said
Les Paul’s machine had “problems” and he’d had to make some
pretty major changes to get Atlantic’s to work. Tom had loaned
us his 1” alignment tape to get our machine up and running. I
later learned that Ampex only made that one and were not
planning to make any more.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyhow my point is to give you a little
context for John’s work.</p>
