Thanks!

Ok, Here's the record we made with Henry Hirsch ( Artist: Sharelle, Record: "Angels at the Waterfront", 5 songs. ) back in September-October at his Waterfront Studio in Hudson NY. I wanted to share this record with the TapeOp community as a recent example that can be broken down into it's parts with...

Henry, I noticed you had a great collection of condenser mics. However I took it that you preferred your collection of dynamics and ribbons over them. Why do you like Dynamic mics so much? I know not all mics fit the source, but I'm really interested in why you like the dynamics so much compared to ...

Henry, let's talk about mixing (EQ and Panning)... I know when we mixed down the songs, it was as if when we pulled up the faders the songs were already mixed; they just came up and sounded great (due to arrangement and great recording). However, while I was content to sit back and watch you do your...

Henry, on everything we did, it seemed you were always changing up the mic, pre, and positioning even if we were doing the same instrument, what was your rationale for doing this? You should really only record the same song once! :wink: I wouldn't even record the same song the same way if I did two...

Henry, I've got to tell you I was blown away by how little we had to do during mixdown. It seemed all the pre-production and arrangement of our songs actually pre mixed the tracks; no need for automation or tons of outboard. Plus your room sounds unreal!!!

Henry, Sharelle and I have our own experiences from working with you recently, and both have grown from it; can't wait to do it again. However I wonder if you could expand upon your thought's on arrangement and how it impacts the recording / production process? From my perspective, it seemed paramou...

Very cool. Did you track to the 3M deck? Yeah we tracked to the 3M M79 tape deck and then mixed down to the 1/2" two track. It was an all analog record. I took lots of HiDef video footage of the sessions. this method has always seemed to sound great. Henry, there you are! It's awesome that your are...

I do have some more pics, but mostly HiDef video; I will post that stuff soon.

Can't wait!

What is your band name?

We go by my wife's name "Sharelle", she's the singer.

all the cool Lenny Kravitz stuff I'm glad you clarified, because I immediately thought of all the awful, mind-numbing/want-to-kill-myself Lenny Kravitz stuff I've ever heard. I had a similar reaction, and then that terrible American Woman cover somehow came on the radio at work, re-enforcing the mi...

Here's Henry at his Helios console.
