Bruce has a dry humor! He actually threw me for a loop right at the beginning in a way but I think we warmed up to each other quick. He's still so involved with interesting Doors stuff and the beta PT stuff, that was inspiring to a guy who's getting older...

Great job!
I've subscribed for about a year and think Tape Op is an outstanding mag. The interview with Botnick? One of the best I've read in any mag. Thanks for your efforts!

I'm not even a Doors fan and I thought it was a fantastically informative and inspiring piece.

I've also been reading Tape Op for a little more than a year now (kudos to you Larry). Is it me, or are the interviews in this issue longer than in previous? Don't get me wrong. I'm not criticizing at all, especially with this interview. I really enjoyed it. I'm a child of the Woodstock generation and when you start interviewing the engineers that recorded the music of my teenage formative years it really strikes my interest.

Botnick interview
Another exceptional interview. Well done Larry and Mr. Botnick.
Thanks,
Jeff
I'm understanding "locked to the bass" as a way to describe the drums and bass being routed to the same stem. Is that correct, or was he referring to something else?LC: Listening to the drum balances on a lot of your early records, I wondered - were you putting up multiple mics?
Three microphones, one track - one overhead, one under the snare and one on the kick, one buss and in some cases locked to the bass.
Thanks,
Jeff

Mixed to the same bus and to a track on the tape deck. I doubt anyone used the word "stems" back then! They were simply tracks on tape.
