BTW, we recorded at 15ips, CCID, no noise reduction....I NEVER would've done that 15 or 20 years ago....somehow, the slight amount of noise adds to the charm. Gives things lots of bottom and color. The project really has a SOUND......
TD | Did you go through a console for tracking or just go straight from your outboard pre's/compressors to your Studer? I guess you used the output attenuators on your pre's and/or output controls on your compressors if you tracked without a console right?
