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.
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
paul said "we liked quality loss" (about overdub on a tape) So, I don't think so, they would like to have more tracks and stuff, but they liked analog sound, preamps valves ecc
Man, you are one of the most pleasant people on earth - it's such a treat to hear you talk about this stuff because of the genuine enthusiasm you clearly have for the craft. Thank you for taking the time to explain this information!
loved that clay talked about the compression and how it affected the kick and cymbal. its a sound ivebeen hearing for ever but have never been able to put my finger on
No way. Listen to the original. I know Ringo tells another story😊Anyway it’s the high pitch tom first. On UA-cam you can hear the isolated drums. Best Regards Bjarne
I second the J37 tape emulation plugin! The first time I ever used one I was in love (mainly for the saturation). Also, his mic bleed idea for people recording on their own is genius!
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.
Great video with some wonderful insights. Great performance too from Clay, talented guy. The J37 is a great plug in too, I also blast it over everything, it adds so much warmth and body.
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
Thx Warren! Just watched the video of Clay's performance. Wow! Such a talented musician! So well done. Thanks both for the tour and mic techniques as well. Very informative and educational.
I had a regular gig that I had to fly to once a month. The soundman had a twin for me as backline. He often asked me to turn down which was almost impossible without it becoming painfully clean. It had so much headroom.
Awesome feature, super in depth. The moment spent talking about the bass recording approach was Incredibly enlightening after 20 to 30 years of hearing that come together bass line, learning it as a term and wondering how it is exactly recorded and played. You all made Mark Lewisohn proud even! Well
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.”
I'm honestly genuinely frightened by the reality of how hard Jones had to push that Twin to get those tones. Poor Paul Cook must be fully deaf in his left ear.
You guys (and gals) probably have the best, most fun jobs in the world! Massively interesting/entertaining/informative video too. Enjoyed it immensely, thanks.
warren man i simlly love you!!! i had to rely on internship at my time but look at you!!! you help all the beginner and intermediates to learn what happens in pro studios!! you are really an angel.... thank you...
Just gotta say -- I just finished listening to the finished track and you guys absolutely NAILED IT. Your next challenge: can you duplicate your success entirely IN THE BOX using virtual drums, amp sims, and plug-ins??
I love these plugins and I really love the user interfaces and how they look aged slightly. As a graphic designer I wish I had some resources on how to create these types of graphics, the knobs the sliders the housing and vu meters and such
KILLIN' IT!!!! Just listened to the track on Vimeo... Clay totally SLAY'D IT!! Dude is totally Lennonesque. That was beautiful, thanks for sharing it with all of us :)
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.
My mistake. I know that Brian Epstein had done a deal with VOX in the very early days that was an exclusive while he was still their manager, that's what influenced my comment. I've had a few conversations with Richard Lush who was one of the Beatles engineers, he now lives in Sydney and has done since coming here to set up EMI Sydney.
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?
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.
i ment did they use the 37 or the 51 more because one the wave version both are in the same plugin but u can toggle back and forth and i was wondering should which one was more authentic
Amazing video... since you’re taking it to this level of nerdy detail I feel the need to add that I’m pretty sure McCartney used tapewound rotosound 88 Tru Bass Strings to get the Abbey Road tone rather than conventional flats.
Hey guys thank you. I'm going get copies of these books. They sound like good reading. The recording sounded terrific !!!! Thank you very much for the presentation. You are definitely a Subject Matter Expert(SME).
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!
I've read and watched a lot about the RS 124 but have never heard the tidbit about the serial numbers and attack and release times. That's an amazing idea by Chandler Limited and only adds to the authenticity of the product
@@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!
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
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.

Thanks for making this video, and showing us all the different settings on the amps...very cool!
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.
It's a Rickenbacker 4001C64 which is their reissue of the Rick bass that McCartney had. The 64 vintage Rickenbacker basses are VERY rare.
Thanks for the info.
Assume these clips include all the bleed channels - correct?
The engineer has his shirt inside out. That confirms the guy knows his shit.
Haha I can't remember if he had a logo on it? But, yes, he does really know his schnitzel!
definitely knows his shit, but does he know his shirt?
Maybe Dirty on the other Side 😜
priorities!!
'invisible' nipple pads
I didn't understand this video at first, so I turned my t-shirt inside out and watched it again. Everything makes sense now. Thank you.
The nerd level of this video is seriously off the charts. I dig it though :)
Haha I love a high level of nerdiness! I relate to that wholeheartedly! Haha
hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh.
Fully agree) much respect
B.B. King and Doris Day, Matt Busby .... dig it 😉
Oh yeah, you can’t help but nerd out

Jesse Smith tanks ever so much my friend!!
Great interview and secrets!!!
Thanks ever so much!
And once again, thank you Warren and Clay for sharing this with us. Marvelous as always
You're very welcome! Special thanks to Clay and Chandler for providing the equipment!
I am SO pleased you covered this particular track. I LOVE the production (especially the drums) on this track
RIP, Geoff Emerick.
Yes, terrible news!! RIP Geoff Emerick!
Glyn John's underestimated genius
I watched this twice!
Absolutely outstanding content!
Keep up the marvelous work, Warren and let's not forget the CREW.
Went and watched the finished product on Vimeo. Its amazing how close the audio quality is to the original. Great job
I listened to your full recording. Wow, it's amazingly similar to the beatles recording. Well done!
I agree! Clay did a wonderful job!
loved that clay talked about the compression and how it affected the kick and cymbal. its a sound ivebeen hearing for ever but have never been able to put my finger on
I just geeked out massively watching this.
Ringo was/is a left hand guy but plays a right handed kit, the drum pattern on the toms was played from right to left, starting on the floor tom.
Yeah I noticed that too, it kind of bothers me when people play it left to right even though I know its probably natural to play that way, but y'know
Yep, I have seen Ringo show how he played it in a video.
No way. Listen to the original. I know Ringo tells another story😊Anyway it’s the high pitch tom first. On UA-cam you can hear the isolated drums.
Best Regards
Bjarne
I absolutely love this level of detail, and the knowledge and passion you guys have is fantastic.
And of course I'm a Beatles fan.
An excellent video.
I second the J37 tape emulation plugin! The first time I ever used one I was in love (mainly for the saturation).
Also, his mic bleed idea for people recording on their own is genius!
What a bass sound... Sound so autentic and good amazing
Omg, that guitar sound is SPOT ON! Love this video!
Talks ever so much Ben! Yes, Clay did an amazing job!!
I would have liked to see something on the guitar solo. Doesn't sound like a Gibson. George's Strat or the rosewood Tele
Maybe with some delay?
@@doitnowvideosyeah5841 Lennons Casino perhaps? I had thought all the guitar work could have been just John?

"Look at all the pretty colors!". I just want to be in that room man! This is the Kings gold, Warren. You are a very hard working but fortunate man.
Thank you ever so much! Yes, so much fun being able to do this with Clay! He's a great guy!
That was Fab! (Sorry couldn't resist). The play-through via link, just amazing. Clay and you guys nailed it.

Thanks Reverend Eslam! I loved being able to do this!
'...and yet it sounded incredible'.... 'And yet'? Or 'therefore'? Great live performances have unbeatable vibe.
Exactly snippletrap! That's the exact point, not matter how you record it an amazing performance will always win!!

Thanks ever so much Jonas! You Rock!
Amazing as always! Clay, thank you for the history and education!
Hi Scott Myers yes! Clay did an amazing job!!
Wow - hats off! The work, not to mention the research that went into this is really impressive. The final product is really quite amazing.
Thanks ever so much Justin!! You Rock!
The guitar tones are uncannily close to the original, however the drums need more of that high mid crunchiness.
Thanks for sharing Czszy!!
Yes! The glyn johns-esque over heads with a mic on the bottom of the snare. Love it. Especially with the Abbey Road filter plugin on it.
Great video with some wonderful insights. Great performance too from Clay, talented guy. The J37 is a great plug in too, I also blast it over everything, it adds so much warmth and body.
Thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, Clay is a wonderful guy, great insight and humility! Yes, I love that plug in!

17:09 "I've never PERSONALLY had a good time with twins"
Wtf is that guy on
You gotta have someone else carrying them. Much better then!
I had a regular gig that I had to fly to once a month. The soundman had a twin for me as backline. He often asked me to turn down which was almost impossible without it becoming painfully clean. It had so much headroom.
he really nailed that song!
Yes, Skylar, agreed! Clay did an amazing job!
That was super nice! Thanks both of you! :-D
Thanks ever so much Claudius!!
Perfect episode - could listen tio Clay talk about The Beatles for ever. Privilege to see inside the studio too.
Thanks ever so much Richard!!
And doesn't that Princeton Reverb sounds absolutely incredible :-)
Some fantastic talent involved in every aspect of this video. Thanks so much!
Phenomenal! Great video and the Clay Blair recording sounded superb!
I was an intern at this studio back when it was called Westbeach. Awesome room!
Awesome feature, super in depth. The moment spent talking about the bass recording approach was Incredibly enlightening after 20 to 30 years of hearing that come together bass line, learning it as a term and wondering how it is exactly recorded and played.
You all made Mark Lewisohn proud even!
Well
This is amazing!!! Gorgeous post!!! Thank you for this
Oh Boy !!!! Thank You Warren !!!!!!
Hi Ricky, thank YOU!!
Thanks guys. This was crazy good. Very insightful. Loved it.

You guys (and gals) probably have the best, most fun jobs in the world! Massively interesting/entertaining/informative video too. Enjoyed it immensely, thanks.
Thanks ever so much! Yes, we are a collection of guys and gals! Not quite 50/50 but getting close! Haha
warren man i simlly love you!!! i had to rely on internship at my time but look at you!!! you help all the beginner and intermediates to learn what happens in pro studios!! you are really an angel.... thank you...
Thanks ever so much Facade! I really appreciate your kind words!
Incredible! Such knowledgeable people! Thanks Warren and Clay!
Thanks ever so much!!
The cover is so good. Really well played. A true homage to the people, the time, the equipment, and the place.
Just gotta say -- I just finished listening to the finished track and you guys absolutely NAILED IT. Your next challenge: can you duplicate your success entirely IN THE BOX using virtual drums, amp sims, and plug-ins??
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much Gordon! You Rock my friend!! Yes, Clay did an amazing job here!!
Hats off to Mr Blair there mind, talk about attention to detail, he’s absolutely nailed on every single part and nuance of the song. How fantastic!
I love these plugins and I really love the user interfaces and how they look aged slightly. As a graphic designer I wish I had some resources on how to create these types of graphics, the knobs the sliders the housing and vu meters and such
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about but it's sure fascinating.
Haha thanks ever so much Bradley!
nice info thanks warren and clay
Really interesting and given the limitation of a single player recording, and the size of the room the results were remarkably good. Great job!
A labour of love. This is great. Thanks so much.
Very very nice indeed. Marvellous job.
Thanks ever so much Andy!!
I have the same approach as Clay on t-shirts too, before I change it I’ll just turn it inside out for another day of use. Great video again Warren.
Glad someone caught that :) Actually had split some coffee but hey flip it around, its a white shirt, its still there !!
Really great video! Clay is talented and you guys pulled it off!...I'd swear I WAS LISTENING TO ABBEY ROAD!
KILLIN' IT!!!!
Just listened to the track on Vimeo... Clay totally SLAY'D IT!! Dude is totally Lennonesque. That was beautiful, thanks for sharing it with all of us :)
Thanks Jonas !!
I agree Jonas! Clay did an amazing job!!
Thanks a lot keep up the good work I can’t get enough of this
Wow! This is absolutely incredible! Warren, how could you forget that mic!!! haha
Thanks ever so much Matthew!

Amazing video... since you’re taking it to this level of nerdy detail I feel the need to add that I’m pretty sure McCartney used tapewound rotosound 88 Tru Bass Strings to get the Abbey Road tone rather than conventional flats.
Hey guys thank you. I'm going get copies of these books. They sound like good reading. The recording sounded terrific !!!!
Thank you very much for the presentation. You are definitely a Subject Matter Expert(SME).
Thanks ever so much Ricky!! You Rock my friend!!
Great tip about keeping the other mics live for a bleed sound. Thanks Warren.
that was awesome, great video
Wow the video is fantastic. It sounds incredible.
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!
Absolutely loved that !
Thanks ever so much Kenny!!
Awesome Video Dudes!!!
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Anyone else notice the neck on the Rickenbacker 4001? Dot fret markers, reverse headstock, and truss rod cover. Super cool, super rare bass!
I've read and watched a lot about the RS 124 but have never heard the tidbit about the serial numbers and attack and release times. That's an amazing idea by Chandler Limited and only adds to the authenticity of the product

wow another great video ,thank u Warren
9:00 now thats a nice bass tone. Great video! thanks for sharing.
The Chandler huy also has some funny ideas about how EMI modded the Altec compressors.

Excellent video, bravo!
Thanks ever so much Jacob!!
Fantastic watch and fascinating lesson. The end result is superb!
Thanks ever so much!!
The video I've always wanted!
Thanks ever so much Calero!! Glad to be able to help!
Great video, pretty much nailed it! Those Fender amps do have a certain sound when they break up even without any pedals.
Pretty dead on! The ONE thing I would say is the original solo is with slide. George was a tripper...
lenny grasso wow! Thanks very much for the info!
Sounds like a strat, maybe with some delay?
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).
Fascinating ! Thanks !
'I've never had a good time with twins...' Haha! Also, amazing analogue gear, and here's some plug ins...
Wow, great video! Love the beatles. That bass sound is dead on :-)
Thanks ever so much Martin! Agreed 100%! Great sound!
man I would love to see something like this but on clash's "london calling" its my favourite production, nevertheless, amazing video!
Glauber Garcez that’s a fantastic idea!!
agreed
Brilliant! Thank you for this!
Man, plugging a Gibson guitar into a Fender amp really gives a nice bark and growl to the tone!
Thanks ever so much!
"NERDS"!!!!!!!.......a very eloquent quote from Orge...thank you guys this is really remarkable
Haha thanks ever so
when its about the Beatles im in.
Thanks ever so much!
Just had a look at the Vid, well done Mate, Bang on!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
First CD I ever bought was the Beatles 1967-1970, always get goosebumps listening to those songs
I just recommended the J-37 to a community member last week.
Looks like my choice has been validated today. :)
I use it on buses.
Mike Lane I completely agree! That plugin has been part of my mix buss chain for over 5 years!
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.
Such a great plug !
Yeah Jay, a little distortion sounds pretty good on the kick, snare and toms. ;)
Great stuff Jay! Thanks for sharing the info!
