two electric guitar tracks using the AEA R84 ribbon mic.

[Jason Poulin]

Still loving this mic.

Here is an example of the R84 on distorted elec. guitars.

this track (not mixed - - slight comp on 2 buss for fun from the Pendulum OCL-2 and DBX quantum)

placed 5" away from center, slight off axis to my Mesaboogie F-100.... please don't diss the guitar playing because I am the player!!! My wife also sang to this tune.


chain was: R84 --- Great River MP2-NV --- Tascam 1/2" Tape recorder --- Distressor --- Apogee AD-16X --- Nuendo ---- DAC1--- Pendulum Audio OCL-2 --- DBX quantum --- Alesis Masterlink --- Gearslutz!

Why is that cheating? If its a 1/2 8 track or 16 if anything it's screwing it up.

[Jason Poulin]

screwing it up??

I don't understand... please elaborate ; )





Sorry for the m4a files I use a mac and Itunes to encode.

because narrow gauge analog doesnt properly reproduce anything. It's not warm at all. As much as I am an analog guy, those machines are part of the reason digital took of. Now if you use all of the tracks on the deck to record
one thing, then your talking. Or get a 2" deck and then your rockin.

Oh ok that's what you mean. Thanks for clearing that up.

I know that there is less surface to capture the signal but in this case, I prefered tracking to a 16 track 1/2" tape then going straight to digital.

In my experience it's been better but man, woudn't I like to take a run at a 2" recorder.

So then think the same track across 4 or 8 tracks of your tascam, and sum it to your daw. You'll be a little closer to the 2" thing
