Rock? Pretty much anything... But going big, Sevendust kicks ass! I have to agree with MC on the Joshua Tree comment. Sounds fantastic on my system. The vinyl just kills it!

Regarding Joshua Tree album and wasting time on digital... "Some of the gear I can remember using was as follows: Vox other than Trip tru' was always a Shure 58, Danny had a very tempremenal Sony mic (can't remember model no.,) that was used on Trip Tru' Oh and maybe one of my Beyer M88's on another song but I can't remember which one. also Danny had a magical patch lead that he had since peter gabriel's sledgehamer days, wich if used to make a split of the vocal and then mixed back in with the original would give a wonderful brightness to the vocal that couldn't be achieved by EQ! I thought it was just an out of phase lead at first so I tried to make one of my own but It didn't work the same way...so it was truly a magical lead. Reverbs and delays were as you mentioned plus a load of SPX 90's a Lexicon 224XL(larc) an a couple os Korg SD3000 delay units (which I loved) also at windmill lane there was an Old sony Digital Reverb unit which was beautiful sounding. Also we used one of the rooms in Edges house as a real echo chamber which had speakers fed from a desk Aux and a couple of ambient mikes returning back to the desk. Consoul was an SSL at windmill lane and An Amek 2500 used at Adam's and Edge's houses. Tape machines were OTARI MTR90's using Telcom noise reduction. Compressors.. the usual collection of 1176's and I think some DBX 160's and for mixing Sumit loaned us both a compressor and an EQ which I used exclusevly on Bono's vocal. Monitors I brought my own AR18's which I used for tracking at Adam's and mixing at Edges.I still use this exact set today...... at windmill NS10's were in use. That's what I can remember off the top of my head.. Cheers Dave Meegan" https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/36523-joshua-tree.html |
geof: I have to agree with MC on the Joshua Tree comment. Sounds fantastic on my system. The vinyl just kills it!Thank you. Same goes for Tom Petty, Don't Come Around Here No More. Every track on Southern Accents is awesome but that one is just mind-blowing its so much better than you ever dreamed from the TP on CD. Of course it helps that mine's a White Hot Stamper! I have no idea what your average copy sounds like. Rumours and the eponymous Fleetwood Mac, ditto. Go Your Own Way, The Chain, and World Turning are great on vinyl, but you have no idea how great until you hear a White Hot Stamper. Seriously. No idea. Not kidding. Not just me saying that either. Keith was here, this is what he had to say (from my Tekton Moab thread): I enjoyed hearing everything but was most shocked at Fleetwood Macs "Landslide"https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 |
mikelevigne -- you made me break out my First Week It Came Out LP copy of "Led Zeppelin." I first heard the record on a buddy’s parent’s JBL/Fisher stereo custom console. Another friend had brought it over. I was so blown away by the sheer intensity of the band, when Side One ended I immediately headed to the nearest record store and bought the thing. I listened to the record for years. I saw the band when they came to town. Festival seating. Me and my girlfriend ooched our way to the front of the stage. Anyway, cut to the present. I’m currently listening to side one. Pretty good clarity & imaging but absolutely no lows or highs. Not as compressed as some rock records of the era but certainly no dynamo. The music? As powerful as ever. |
