Did you actually work WITH Lynch and Morse or did everyone pretty much phone in their parts?

This is a good disc! Just discovered it... 7 years later.. lol.

Spot on with the YYZ, my son. =)

what??

Facetious.. joking around... being funny/cute.

I did not realize you were indeed the mastermind behind that whole project, James. I thought you were taking the piss with me...

Love what you did on YYZ.

So I guess you never worked directly with George "I love treble" Lynch.

i only spoke with him on the phone a couple of times during the process of making the CD. we did the whole album on ADAT tapes.. so i was contstantly making slave tapes and rough mixes, and as with all the other artists on the CD, i mailed George an ADAT tape with 6 open tracks, the other two being used for the rough mix, and he returned it to me with his performance recorded to some of the open tracks.

this was what? '96, '97?... right at the beginning of the decline of ADAT technology and within the first couple years of Pro Tools' initial impact on smaller studios. the big studios had PT rigs already, for editing mainly, but ADATs were still the order of the day for smaller places like mine, and i had 4 of them as well as the BRC.

oh how i miss those days.


NOT!!!

You mean to tell me that you don't miss the sighs and moans coming from the vocal booth while waiting for the 3rd and 4th machines to lock? uke:

The BRC was the bomb though.

Shit man, I remember one time in the studio I was recording a band on 3 ADATs, we go back in to do overdubs and only 1 of the machines was working so we were stuck doing overdubs with only the drums coming through the ride track. Now that was interesting.

I always thought the BRC was more trouble than it was worth.

Every BRC that I ever used worked flawlessly, and proved to be an indispensible tool for running ADAT's. The transport buttons had a great feel and were fun to punch with.

 

[EtherForBreakfast]

ADAT / BRC. Alesis, right?

Used to record onto "VCR" tapes, right? Youch.

lopes... you obviously never learned it well... the brc is the only thing that made using adats tolerable at all.

No doubt, the studio I was at probably had a lemon because thing almost never worked properly, it always managed to fuck up locate points.
