EMI TG console

[Ken Scott]

Hi Virgil, Actually I worked very little on a TG. I used the one in Number 2 for a few tracks on the Mary Hopkin album Postcard and for the majority of one of my favourite albums A Salty Dog by Procol Harum and that's it as far as I recall.
I have to say that I'm a bad judge on TGs. The change from the old REDD desks to the modern desk was a painful one for most of us at the studio. I don't think any of us liked it. It had none of the warmth , both literally and physically, that the REDDs had. That being said, some great sounding records were made through it, but first impressions go a very long way.
I haven't tried the Chandler replica and so I can't pass comment. But then if you like it that's all that matters. Recording is an art and thus a very personal thing.

Cheers
