I wanted to post the track that we did that day, but apparently even as a MP3 the file is too big?
Artist is Frank Carillo and the Bandoleros. I recorded and produced this track for the TV series "True Blood", Although set up in the studio, I used my location rig to cut theses tracks. Wanted that 70's sound of all Helios!

Hakan, Yep it's a 30 inch... 1929 Radio King Marching drum, that I had cleaned up, and added legs so that it could be used as a kick. Found in a local antiques store about ten years ago. Been using it ever since! I love it.

The Royer SF-12 Stereo Ribbon mic has been used as overheads on every metal record I've done since it's release... Including the 6 or 7 Immolation records. Cymbals sound smooth, and adds a bit of weight to the toms, snares, etc. Even with a slight boost at 8 or 10 K.
Amazing mic.

Oh, the ride mic was placed there for one song where we used brushes, but not used for anything else!

It's a 92 512 TR. So far I've only got it up to, 180 but this summer with a bit more engine work, should break the 200 mph mark! Which is my goal. Can't wait for the spring!

Too late, already flipped one Ferrari a few years ago... I somehow managed to escape that with just a lot of broken bones...
Then bought another a week later.

John, Back in the old days... I would place a new Acoustic in front (inches away) of one stereo speaker, pan everything to that speaker, and have music play for days on end. Choice of music was usually loud, and very dynamic material. This is what we did back in the 70's and we always perceived a difference in tone after about a week or so.
Although I'm Not sure if people have the luxury of a spare room with music blasting for 24 hours a day, for a week or so? But that's how it was done way back then. (at least in my neighborhood!)

Here's my Mark I, I ordered this just outta High School. I actually ordered 5, 1 for me, and the other 4 for my rehearsal studio at the time, but Randall Smith and his wife, Raven called me to ask it would be OK if they just sent me one head, and could wait for the other 4, because Keith Richards had ordered 11 for the the upcoming Stones Tour, and they would not be able to deliver all of his, if they had to deliver my 4 before hand I believe it was late 73.. I said sure, no problem, but make sure you tell Keith...that Paul said it was OK~! Haha Attachments:

I had GREAT results with 1 x 12 "ruff sawn Pine" and "Cedar' planks. I covered all the walls. and ceiling, in my last place with that and it sounded beautiful. Usually one side is cut smooth, and the other is ruff cut. Not only does it look great, It also smells wonderful, especially if you do not coat it, seal it of use anything on it !!! For all the years after I redid the studio in that wood, 15 years or more, the room always smelled great, like natural wood, and the clients always commented on it.
Besides the look, I like the ruff side of the planks facing out, for me it added just enough absorption to make the space sound great... This is usually NOT tongue and groove. But not a big deal at all. You can usually get a great deal on these planks from a mill or a lumber yard. It was a quite a few years ago, But I paid $1.25 per linear foot for the Pine, not sure what the Cedar was at the time, but it was a bit more $$$.

Been playing with the Unity Audio Rocks, Boulders, and the Avalanche sub for a few days. Will start mixing a few tunes possibly next week with them. Very interesting monitors. Attachments:

Maybe a bit left of center for some, I know? But I really believe this is a great version and performance by a group covering a recently released song, all live in the studio. And since this was a thread about real singers, I believe big Mike fits the bill. (If you can get past the clown suit, I believe you will dig this performance!)

The final chapter in my ultimate 8 track recorder search was written just about a year ago. At the time I had heard the IZ was releasing a new Radar version 6. So I called Barry, and asked him what's up? He told me that the new unit addressed most of my requests for my portable rig. In fact it not only hit all the specifics I had requested, but it does much, more then I could ever hope for. (could it be a case where a manufacturer actually listens to their customers requests? I think so!) So I bought one. At that point my search for a recorder was over, I have the machine I always dreamed of. Now it time to finish outfitting the rest of the unit so that it was the ultimate remote recording rig...... Attachments:

I like you, have or had no intentions on hurting the man or his company... Like I said, I found Geoff to be a very likable guy, and the mixer was one of the best I ever heard. I'm just telling my story. I've kept quiet for years, and years. But I do believe forums like this are exactly where these issues need to be discussed amongst our piers, as to possibly help them with their decision on equipment purchases. I literally threw $3500 away in a few months... a substantial amount of my time and money wasted.
Oh well...
Now back to our regularly scheduled program....
