| fun gear... wanna get specific?
Russ-
Sweet list of toys, man. Wanna get specific? I'm sure that you've found that certain pieces of outboard have a particular affinity for certain instruments- for example, my black 1176 loves bass, but the blue stripe is a vocal fiend. Innovonics likes to bring out snare ghost strokes, Chandler TG1 rules on drum rooms, etc.
Would you care to shed some light on what you've found works best in your setup? I'd love to cop some of that insight- specifically, what you use those Altecs for, since I've never gotten them to behave for me!
While I've got you, got any thoughts on vintage gear vs. modern levels? A lot of the tracks I see are loud as hell (individually) and I don't think that the old gear is very happy with the levels way up there on input. Since you're spending a good amount of time on analog, you're probably hitting them at a more normal level, and I wonder if you've noticed a diff.
Appreciate your time and your craft man. Talk to you soon-
best, Reid |
