More growl, yes give me more growl, Mick!!

A pot of tea with Terry Brittain..

Gwyn Ashton dropped back in to put the finishing touches on his upcoming solo album...and brought along father Richard, who was suitably impressed!

Engineer Aaron, fresh and ready at the helm of the SSL for the "California Crooners Club" sessions!

Well ...with Mr Jim's help, we got to use this lil' sucker .. vintage Moog flies .. at last !

God help us ...

Say no more ... history in the making.

Wurlying, no roof ... Vic (can never spell his last name), Adelaide legend, king of Vinyl thru Fender oldie .... Hmnnn, sounds like ... "See the Sky Abut to Rain" ... take me away. Well .. take me back to my Greek Island ... arrive Sunday 5pm ... 30 hours in the air (on the road), start 10 session (Nigel Werne) .. finish 3.30am ... then two days tracking .... Oh dear. Who needs sleep ? .. When you have a train set like this.

Sam ! .. send me some pics of making your record.

Today we are tracking drums and HUGE guitars on my Studer 827 at 15 ips to hot tape. There is NOTHING like the bottom end at 15 ips, except on a 2" 16 track Ampex 1200 at 15 ips. The Studer 24 track is still very satisfying and it moves tape like a houdini juggler. One can only have true RESPECT for Willi Studer and his engineers. This tape machine would have cost about $120K in its day (not ling ago really) Now you can have one for $15K ... and NOTHING sounds as good ... Except standing in the room I guess.
The drums sound amazing. A serious tuned kit, the Mixmasters drum room from hell, and the mics and pre's: Kick: D-6 / 6176 / Pultec / transient designer. Other: RE-20 / 6176 / Pultec / TD. Snare: M-88 / 1064 vintage Neve / Distressor / TD, Other: 57 / 1064 / Distressor. OH: Neumann fet - 47's / 1064's. Hats: SM-7 / Neve broadcast 33114. Toms: Josephson E-22's (4 of them) / 1064's. Room: AEA R-88 / AEA TRP, Over kit: Coles 4038 / Chandler REDD 47. Ahh .... There is nothing like the smell of oxide in the morning ..... the Studer is a BEAST.
