It also depends on what mics you're using- your 414 is going to match differently with a preamp than your ribbon mic. The BB channels in my old Sytek sounded great with an AKG 451 on OHs, but didn't work as well with a Beyer 160. My rule of thumb when buying gear is to think about what sound or capa...

Strangers, Get Back In Line, Rats, A Long Way From Home, and This Time Tomorrow, which is one of my favorite Kinks songs of ...

I think Olympic was 4 track at the time, but I could be wrong. Page isn't very complimentary of Glyn Johns, but he likes Eddie Kramer quite a bit. ...
