    Hey Guys ! Just a comment about the REDD Preamps and the TG desk misconception. From Recording The Beatles "Geoff Emerick also notes that the solid-state TG desk simply didn't allow him to record the drums the same way; he recalls being particularly frustrated at not being able to capture the same bass and drum sound as he had in the past. In fact, large portions of the album (Abbey Road) were tracked on the REDD.51 desk in Studio Three, but the TG certainly had an effect when mixing" Come Together was indeed recorded in studio 3 and ACTUALLY the famous 3M 8 track machines used on this album were not available so it was also recorded on the J37 tape machine. It was then dumped to the 8 track machine in studio 2 for the guitar solo, hand claps and the Rhodes piano solo. Hope this answers any misgivings ! Happy to answer any other questions I can as well regarding this session.

      AMAZING bass sound you captured during this session!! Question: is that a modern Rickenbacker or a vintage bass? I have re-read Geoff Emerick's book many times, and it's important to let people know of his contribution to The Beatles' sound. Great video all round - well done to everyone involved.

    • @BoulevardRecording
      @BoulevardRecording 6 років тому +4

      It's a Rickenbacker 4001C64 which is their reissue of the Rick bass that McCartney had. The 64 vintage Rickenbacker basses are VERY rare.

    The irony is that the Beatles thought the REDD consoles looked awful, old, like a RAF bomber...they were actually into modern looking stuff, and would have been happy recording with an iphone. Now we have the iphone and of course we like vintage...those REDDs look so cool to us.

      The "RAF bomber" quote is from a Paul McCartney interview on the "Complete Beatles Recording Sessions" book (off the top of my head). They probably thought they looked great in 62, and it is about the sounds, of course.@@Producelikeapro

    @mumbles215 5 років тому +1

    If you cut drums, and set up other mics such as the gtr amp mic, the bass amp mic, piano mic, just to get the bleed, or the “cheap bleed”, then you need to process those tracks just as you would if those tracks were “real”. Meaning you would have to process the gtr amp bleed mic the same as you would process the gtr. And pan it as such. Your options are incredible with the “cheap bleed” (as far as panning, eq, compression, volume, reverb) but the beauty about bleed is your stuck with it on there (after you’ve gone through lengths to minimize it) and then the bleed falls where it may. (Once you process and pan and place the other tracks). This to me that is the true beauty of bleed. There’s is much haphazardness involved that the lack of control, after recording, is special. Great video. Cheers

    Hi Friends, The Beatles, like many great bands of the era, tended to record live as a band, with each member baffled off from the other…far from the isolated performances we tend to capture these days, and yet it sounded incredible! Clay Blair, the head engineer and owner of Boulevard Recording, recreated engineer Geoff Emerick’s drum miking techniques which were used on nearly everything from Sgt. Pepper’s to Abbey Road. There weren’t even any room mics used for the drums! Any room tone heard was actually bleed from the guitar, bass, or vocal microphones. Check the video and let us know what you think!

      One of the best sounds I ever got on a hard rock band was in a 1000 square foot studio, with about a 30 foot ceiling in San Francisco. It was a studio built for the video game company Sega to record their video game music. It was all concrete and live as hell. I put the drummer in a corner, and the Bass and Guitar amps off to either side, baffled off from the drums. Btw, all I had were dynamic mic's. I had SM57's for the guitar amp, snare, toms, and overheads, and Sennheiser MD-421's for the Bass amp, and kick. Massive sound. Bleed in you're recordings is a marvelous thing, at least for the basic tracks. Thanks for the great video Warren.

      I do actually prefer the J37 to the Kramer or Slate tape emus. They have a pretty much binary tone apart from tape speed. The tonality on the J37 is so much more user-friendly. Plus the saturation is lovely on bass and drum busses

    Quote from Steve Jones: "It was all [recorded] on a Fender Twin as far as I remember. It was a special Twin that had Gauss speakers in there that made it very middy and not so trebly. I had a couple of Gibson Les Pauls as well: there was a black [1954] Les Paul [Custom] and my white [1974] Les Paul.”

    Songs from Abbey Road that were recorded in Studio 3 at Abbey Road using the REDD.51 Desk NOT the TG Desk : Come Together, Oh Darling, Octopus's Garden, Something, The End.... "20 of the 36 tracking days were done in Studio 3 during Abbey Road." So even overdubs were done on the REDD desk on some songs as well. The only song NOT MIXED on the TG desk on Abbey Road was "She's So Heavy" Which was actually recorded at Trident but MIXED on the REDD.51 desk in studio 3.

      @chrisjjespersen 6 років тому

      abbey road was the first album with the tg solid state desk but i think the only one was in studio two so all the songs done not in studio two would have still been the redd desks the mixing was mostly done on the tg but alot of that sound from the redd desks are still in there i have a question also which redd desk from waves would be more beatles time period and more used by them the 37 or the 51 and for a beatles vibe would you reccomend using the redd or the tg?

    • @BoulevardRecording
      @BoulevardRecording 6 років тому

      Id say the REDD for Beatles vibe as 95% of their records were tracked on them. The 37 and 51 were used a lot. If you mean the REDD 17 plugin, that desk was only used on the first LP Please Please Me and used V72's instead of the REDD.47 preamp and lineamps, bit of a softer sound.

    • @chrisjjespersen
      @chrisjjespersen 6 років тому

    One word. Great! :-) There is a real art to using restraint and not over-playing or over-producing an old classic using today's knowledge and skills.

    another quick thing is Ringo played all 3 toms on this song, you can hear it especially on the new mixes. and they were defiantly full tea toweled on top, not hanging off. I've messed so much with both those techniques, you can def hear they are all the way on But thank you so much for this its so so cool!

      @@Producelikeapro being a teen in late 80s and 90s I was drawn to late 60s and 70s music for some reason. I didn’t know then but I understand better now why the music sounded different to the slick 80s production I still hate nowadays

    I thought UA-cam would just slap some advertising on there if the song owners want their money - but if you can't use a Beatles song' what about an Elliot Smith or Zombies song, maybe Neutral Milk Hotel. Thanks for showing us this - fascinating. Why DO old recordings sound so good?
    Bill Bruford assures us Yes never worried about matching amp settings, microphone placement etc day to day, used to splice together bits of tape from different days to make a song, and even had the cleaning lady throw their bits of tape in the garbage, only to fish them out and that was the master for Close To The Edge. Seems impossible!

    • @BoulevardRecording
      @BoulevardRecording 6 років тому +1

      joebobhenrybob2000 Bill could be right. You never know. Did you know that Strawberry Fields is 2 different takes on 2 different days ? Also the 2nd splice had to be slowed down when it was spliced to match the speed of the original ! It’s in Geoff Emerick’s book. The splice is exactly 60 seconds into the song as Lennon sings “going to” then the splice

    • @moldefan3544
      @moldefan3544 4 роки тому

      I'm pretty sure that George is using regular string-bending on that solo, not slide.
      It wasn't until a little later he started playing slide in the studio. The only Beatles tracks with slide guitar I can think of is "Drive My Car" and "For You Blue" (the latter played by John).

      I discovered it almost 3 years ago. Of all the tape sims I've tried, it seems to do a superior job, so I went for it. I'm even more frugal than Warren claims to be LOL!
      I don't open the wallet too easily. LOL!
      It's also good for tracks or buses that have previous automations on them because you can adjust the output on it and bring it up or down to the desired level.
      Haven't messed with the wow / flutter yet, messed with the tape / bias a little.
      Default is usually fine.
