Eddie Kramer Collection: www.waves.com/b... Legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer talks about making music history: Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Part 2/2.
I was at school with Eddie at SACS in Cape Town.He was 4 years my junior.We had lunch together when he visited CT about 15 years ago.A nice modest man.Cyril Gold.
Funny how Hendrix first had to be accepted in England to be embraced by America,while Zeppelin was the opposite. Both were initially overlooked in their home countries.
Very cool of Eddie to describe the great value of Chas Chandler as a producer as he was a huge factor in not just for the amazing and best Hendrix recordings, but in being absolutely essential in recognizing Jimi's gifts early on and having a head and heart that mentored and allowed Jimi to blast off. He was a great help and guide to Jimi up till the Electric Ladyland sessions, a damned shame he walked away at that point... had they stuck it out as a team, imagine the outcome of THAT!
Id like to know the story about that little diddy "astroman" where jimmy is talking like he is an alien coming down to earth and killing all the people, he is laughing and high as a kite. I would like to have seen that.
So basically, this is how it goes. When you maxed out the space on the first 4-tracks you would be screwed cause now there's no room left for additional tracks to layer sounds on or whatnot. So the solution would be to take two tracks at a time and mix them together on one track of a second 4-track machine thus allowing you 3 extra tracks which if we do the math is really 8-tracks. Beatles were revolutionary in doing this thanks to George Martin and Geoff Emerick.
+Guitarkid 1991 The entire orchestra and the beatles ran their mix into A SINGLE 4 TRACK for the seargeant pepper song, totally unbelieveable ! Im not sure of the rest of the songs on that album but I do know that song was.

La regola è che non ci sono regole (Chas Chandler quando era produttore di Jimi Hendrix)
