Music Producer Dennis Herring on the magic of the Fairchild 660 Limiter

Dennis Herring waxes poetic about one his first purchases as a music producer, the inimitable Fairchild 660 Limiter and how it was integral in The Beatles Paul McCartney Bass sound on “Revolver”.

I like the way he pats the Fairchild as if it's an old friend whilst telling the story about the photo.

Lol! Altec / EMI (RS124) compressors on the "Revolver" era bass...oh well...

[@shayeasy]

brilliant!

That’s not “Mr Fairchild” that’s rein narma who designed your compressor. Fairchild purchased his designs and hired him as chief engineer for Fairchild.

Put some respect on reins name. He designed consoles for Les Paul and Rudy Van gelder and is an unsung hero. A real genius and pioneer who deserved a lot more credit. Usa 🇺🇸
