How does this make you feel?

Your link makes me feel bad for the highly trained monkeys.

Do you have a link with the details that this was recorded on a vs880?

500 Internal Server Error

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

If you see them, show them this information:

Thanks for the link.

It was just tracked on the vs and then dumped to protools for everything else.

It would have been more impressive if the entire album was created, mixed, and "mastered" on the vs880.

This is also nearly 12 years ago.

Time and technology have moved on.
 
I think its great, and every time I read about someone moaning about their gear sounds like S#it instead of realising its operator error, I may just direct them here.

I always think about the "One Giant Leap" project where the Producers traveled the world (2001) with a laptop and a mic or 2 (one being an AKG1000s) and recorded various performers in locations like market places and halls, under trees etc, then pieced the recordings together so that a percussionist in India plays with a Bass Player in the UK with an African choir doing the vocals. The quality of the recording is fantastic. They even had a hit single from the project with Robbie Williams doing the lead vocal.

People should stop blaming the gear and realise if they had any recording talent they could do an album with minimum equipment.

However by all means buy gear but you need the basics first.

Alan.
 
I like how in the picture he has a Manley Lab ELOP limiter $3000, UA 1176 $2000 and an Empirical labs distressor $1500 on the left side of his desk rack and then a couple of grands worth of control surface in this attempt to show people you don't need high end gear LOL

So he chose to use a sh!tty converter and only two mics, Big Whoop! it's still hardly a low end budget studio

It's the same way the Foo Fighters said their last album was done in a "garage"...:laughings:

Well it was a garage that happened to have a control room with neve consols, Studer tape machines, vintage outboard gear and Producer Butch Vig in it. When you're a grammy winning, multi millionaire, rock star, "Garage" can take on a different meaning
 
Tru dat.

Wikipedia defines garage (the same type I think we are all are referring to) as: "...part of a home, or an associated building, designed or used for storing a vehicle or vehicles."

I doubt they actually stored cars around all that equipment, but one thing is for sure: Thats a pretty rad "garage".
 
There is no reason to spend $10,000 on a high end system if you don't notice significant difference between it and a $1000 system, or a $100 boom box.
 
I like the minimalist approach. I think it's great for beginners (and some advanced engineers as well). It forces us to focus on the art of recording rather than the technology.

I have a couple of good friends who are well established professional engineers. You'd be amazed at the equipment they use. One loves the blue bird for pretty much all vocals, guitars, and some drum overheads. He uses mixed OH on drums all the time. Hadn't even heard of an SM7B until I bought one. And his recordings kick ass. Simple can be great if you know what you're doing.

Now, I've been a huge Sufjan Stevens fan for a while...while he did seem to track pretty simply, the mixing and mastering were pretty traditional. But the point stands, simple can sound great!
 
Forgive me, but am I the only one that thinks this actually does sound kind of budget??? Its good, dont get me wrong, but it sounds a little lacking in detail to me...... (not that I'm a pro engineer by any means, AND not to disprove your point, operator is 95% of the battle for sure.....)

That was my take too... not sure how I was supposed to "feel". Its not bad but there is an MP3 Clinic here that has some stuff that makes me feel like I need to know more. What I didn't like was the use of YouTube bandwidth to show a fixed image and play a song with less than optimal audio when a SoundCloud clip may have done it more justice.

soundcloud compresses the file too. I'm not sure what's going on, but soundcloud always sounds bad to me so I just use dropbox.
