RCA Studio A in Nashville
I've worked at what used to be RCA Studio A in Nashville quite a bit including Orchestral and smaller String/Horn sections. The design was based on the NYC room. In this photo http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3172847 You can just barely see the curved walls in the background. I've got other p...

You just need the right Tech. They're still out there. I have an old Keyboard repair guy living just a few blocks from me (Nashville) and I have used several Wurly's that he has made right. It is amazing to play one that actually WORKS. He sets them up so that you can go DI and mic the internal spea...

Often, I end up using 4 layers of Effects: Starting at really short Delay/Phasing Slap Delay SHORT Room Verb Plate You can use these at barely audible levels to create space that wasn't captured on the original recordings. When I have the time/motivation, setting up a couple of echo chambers is amaz...

The problem with recording Drum Ribbons as a Blumlein or MS pair is Proximity. Whatever the Ribbon is closest to will have more low End. You will have loads of Kick and not enough depth from the Toms. The easy solution is to line them up to the Toms and control the low end that way. Adjust the Heigh...

I think that I would use just two mics with one Mic on each Piano about 3' outside of the Lid. You don't want the sound to be too present but the farther away the mics are, you are at the mercy of the sound of the room as well as their ability to 'mix' themselves to each other. Background noise will...

I Was just looking at a schematic for a Fender Reverb (61) Unit. There is a Preamp, weak Power Amp, then the Tank, then another Preamp Stage. The Impedance for the Reverb tank is "Inductive". The Transformers on the Tank have different Taps for different Impedance Loads. There is an 8ohm Tap. I have...

Thanks for that Link. It looks like you could drive the input using a Headphone Amp and the Output could be a Direct Box/Preamp or a cheap pre with a 1/4" Inst input. This is interesting...you could get Two Tanks, a Headphone Amp (or Power Amp) and a Stereo Tube Preamp with 1/4 inputs and have a tru...

Reverb Tank as an Aux Send Effect?
Any advice for using a Reverb Tank (not a whole unit...just the Tank) as an Aux effect?
I am guessing a Preamp is needed but would it be on both the input and output?
Would I need to use DI for the return?

Just wanted to clarify my Vienna comment. They would sound great as a pair on a group. It's just that they don't work well in an ensemble situation with other mics. I recently used them with a small vocal group. One try was on Sopranos....sounded great when only they were singing. But when the Men s...
