I was going to ask where you bought the side car units,... but now I'll just say that is some fine carpentry work.

VERY nice hardware gear.?

Yes you are correct,... it was the Scully 288 2 inch 16 track tape machine and one of only two that existed in North America at the time. I think Engineer Eddie Kramer also deserves much of the credit for the innovative sounds on Electric Ladyland. He really pushed the creative aspect of...

I would argue that 24 tracks is plenty to get the job done,... hell, the Beatles only had 4 to 8 when they started and used the bounce method to increase track count for a song and look at what they had accomplished. I have up to 32 tracks with my Allen & Heath GSR-24M when using the digital...

Tracked and mixed on a console 95% of the time. I need to twist and turn knobs and feel how the outboard gear is responding to my commands. Also all the pretty lights glowing off of the console and outboard gear make it seem like your flying the 'Mother Ship' of creativity,... or something like...

That is pretty much the time period I constructed it. I am going to dress it up a bit with new shades of acoustical treatments.

I do enjoy working with tape and the fine audio attributes that medium can provide. However, for many of the clients who are initially very interested in doing an analog tape recording they find themselves having to turn to a digital recording due to the rising cost of tape. I do reassure them...

Yes, I do record solo artists to groups as well. Things are at a bit of a stand still currently as I upgrade gear and some acoustical treatments. It seems it never ends with the alteration of both rooms as many here with a studio space have probably experienced somewhere along the way.

Some new gear installations.

Here are a couple videos of my studio build from 2000. Some older pics with a few new ones showing gear upgrades. Perhaps it may be of help. Good luck with your build. Control Room: Live Room:

Have you completed your studio project?

Good feel to the song,... reminds me of something the band 'America' might put out. May be some phase issues on the cymbals. The 3:1 micing rule would remedy such an issue.

I built my studio live room around 2000 and it is based on the type of vibe I think you are looking for. I also incorporated the possibility to have 70's dry vibe or more lively reflections by utilizing the brick surfaces by pulling back the curtains covering them. I also made some 4'x8'...

To be honest I don't listen to much of this genre of music,... however, I think the track is well recorded and put together. The selection of instrumentation fit well together with an ample amount of low end. The equalization, compression and choice of instrument panning is executed very well...

They were mastered like this, Or this, Or this, But NOT like this, Or this,
