  • “I’m a sick person,” confesses John Vanderslice.
    He’s not wrong.
    Vanderslice suffers from a terminal case of G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and it’s spreading. One recording studio became two, and then two became three as Vanderslice continues to salvage and rehabilitate only the finest pieces of vintage analog recording equipment for his Tiny Telephone recording empire.

      we recently made the switch to all analog & once you get away from the distraction of a screen & fucking with a mouse you can really focus in on whats going on with the band, at least that my very humble honest opinion to be taken with a grain of salt. Cheers from SATX!

  • @jasonrobinson5854
    @jasonrobinson5854 4 роки тому +3

    Interesting comparison between tape and digital, and spot on. Digital being visual, involves the eyes, which triggers the brain thru an additional path, affecting much of the imaginary properties. Long live Analog!

    Fond memories of failing to make a record at TT (my fault, of course). Great space and great people. I wonder if the toilet is still shared with the mechanics next door?
    Interesting that Vanderslice, who I could listen to all week, holds the purity of the analogue signal path so dear, but is cool about guitar (and various other things, judging by the awesome TT aesthetic) passing through pedals with pretty lo-fi digital components.

    I'm, by no means, affiliated with Softube, but I was watching this today, and if you're like me and can't afford to use tape, much of the stuff he's talking about losing when you move to a computer as the recording-medium can be somewhat addressed with the Console1.

    I get most of what Dana Carvey says here, but to say that protools "sounds bad" is very odd to me. A lot of people said the same thing about early digital gear and now it's highly sought after if you know its strengths and know in what context to use it. Same goes for the tape vs protools debate.

    @fastsavannah7684 5 років тому +2

    I agree with John V. on the good old recording boldness and violence, and the fact that protools can turn you into this anal, ocd sound geek, but I think one ought to (and can be) pretty wild using software that allows you to be punk - that is, just record shit at home! Who owns these kind of reel to reel heavy duty machinery anyway? Other than that, hell yeah, go classic!

    • @jeremychamplin1078
      @jeremychamplin1078 5 років тому +2
