working like a charm on the Kick.

rob S · 24th June 2009, 08:33 AM

Edyne ?

rob S · 24th June 2009, 06:27 PM

havent gotten way into the BAC yet.
but i have to say i expect good things from it based on its performance so far.
it feels really good and solid.
it sounded great on the mono perspective drum mic.
nice character to it.
a good squish but i havent tried it on anything else yet.

gonna break into the edyne today and we'll see how it compares side by side with the
console.

Ha..yeah makes sense.
Did you end up w/ the bac comp for any ov dubs?

I ended up @ Sunset 3 a week after I saw you.
interesting console.
the Demedio sounded good but not exactly the most headroom on the mic pre's

I told you not to use the darn thing in the shower!

rob S · 27th July 2009, 07:09 PM

BAC 500 is good.
plugged into a rack with no 48v.
phew......

rob S · 1st August 2009, 10:44 AM

BAC 500 on gtrs is good.

RoundBadge · 1st August 2009, 08:28 PM

yeah they are.
I gotta Chandler Little devil comp coming in a couple days,I'm on a 500 series binge

rob S · 1st August 2009, 09:23 PM

let me know what you think of it.
have you tried the little devil eq?
got the old big meter 525's back in action.
cant find schematics for these things anywhere.
they needed love and wren at sound factory had to get forensic on them.
definitely dont match the 525C schematics.
this stuff is always interesting(sort of) how the circuits evolve and
everything is a little different.
all i know is for whatever reason the circuits changed
i like the sound of the big meter(older) 525's better.
i wonder if the preset attack times changed(faster) as the circuit evolved
making the 525C's grabbier.
beats me
if you know of anybody that has a line on a schematic for these hit me up.
blah blah blah

RoundBadge · 1st August 2009, 11:16 PM

Cool.I ask around.I yeah I have 2 big meter 525's here.I think one needs recapping.the other older one has been gone through and the action/ballistics seem fine.the other one is very different.
really hard to get them to match based on what the meters/knobs are doing.. its all earball.
as far as the vs. the c version,i'm feeling its the older melville opamps combined w/ slighter mellower curves..maybe
but they do play nicer than the new ones

the little devil eq looks interesting.gotta get one in here this week too.
supposedly in the ballpark of a 1081 and the little class a/b broadcast modules from the Neve 5315.i use those on jimmy's little console and they're cool.
they're supposedly in the Neve weight class yet more headroom[higher voltage,transfo i/o,class A,blah,etc]
we'll see

rob S · 2nd August 2009, 12:23 AM

there is a very definite alignment procedure.
sounds like its time for yours get dialed in.
the procedure dials in the metering as well.
while they never totally match one another they definitely
get into the same ballpark.

anyways let me know what you think of those little devils.
i am off to woodstock for the month.
gonna do some recording at dreamland.
havent been there in about 15 yrs.
should be fun.

RoundBadge · 2nd August 2009, 12:39 AM

Dreamland .the old church.Beautiful
We sold my late Grandmas old converted church/house in canada a while back and they did a studio in there as well.big steeple ceilings,wood floors,stained glass everywhere..very cool
Bearsville,Allaire RIP.
who are you recording?

rob S · 2nd August 2009, 10:51 AM

yeah bearsville was great both the big room and the barn.
i visited allaire once and it was pretty special.
have you ever work at dreamland?
pretty cool place.

RoundBadge · 2nd August 2009, 11:14 AM

No but I know friends who have
reminds me of my Grandmas house out in the countryside in eastern Canada
we used to eat breakfast right up where the Pulpit was
everything tasted better when she made it..even oatmeal..maybe it was the fresh country air.funny how that is

rob S · 3rd August 2009, 07:41 AM

hi warren

so i really like the BAC500.
it seems hi fi yet colorful.
i like that it isnt transparent
yet has the ability to maintain fidelity.
and it can also be heavy handed in a
musical way.
its defintely something i will/do use regularly.
a very nice addition to the rack.

RoundBadge · 15th September 2009, 07:06 AM

Rob have you been using Fasano's newer maple Gretsch Anniversary kit lately?
looked like you had it up at Sunset when I visited you..couldn't tell though
if yes how do you like em for recording?

rob S · 16th September 2009, 08:09 AM

no i never used it.
that was john O's from angel city drums.
gretsch stopsigns.

RoundBadge · 16th September 2009, 10:31 AM

Cool.
John has great stuff.
His partner Chris is a magician with bearing edges and builds really cool custom stuff..worked on almost every kit I own.

rob S · 16th September 2009, 04:31 PM

you ever use chris's hitmaker snares?
we used one on the whigs record we did and it was
really spectacular.
julian the drummer ended up buying one from him.
