There were some other chains... but that one seemed the most prevalent the times I was around when it was near vocals.
The fact of the matter is that the only way to get a "Lenny" vocal sound is to get "Lenny" in the room... as for the 'textures'... you have to get all the other 'textures' from the drums being recorded in a big assed, concrete block, boxy but sorta verby room mostly on a riser with some of BMG's old 1/2 round barrels flown from the ceiling over where the kit was thought to be going [except it got moved into a boxier sounding corner]... oh, and having an A-Range desk wouldn't suck... and bunch more Fairchilds, Pultecs, ribbon mics... vintage amps, vintage guitars and fair amount of talent probably wouldn't suck either. |
Ok, that's it for me... I'm gonna buy a hot dog cart.
