The Billy Preston jams in the second episode are pure gold.

Boy did they start off with a bunch of dynamics though, EV and Shure stuff. Lennon even gripes about needing some of those bloody big Neumanns around.digitaldrummer wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 6:37 am
the film production team did a really fantastic job on the color restoration and that really is a lot of U67s!
The whole Magic Alex debacle (mostly off screen in my viewing so far) is good story telling. I'm a pretty big Geoff Emerick fan so there's some schadenfreude at work.

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
Pretty sure the EV's are actually AKG D19's. Even when they're using dynamics it's still a ton of expensive mics (or what would become expensive mics).losthighway wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 3:34 pmBoy did they start off with a bunch of dynamics though, EV and Shure stuff.digitaldrummer wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 6:37 am

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
Oh, you're totally right: D19. I think the D19 is expensive only because of the Beatles association. It's pretty much the vintage EV phenomenon magnified by even more hype. I'm sure it's a perfectly handy mic, but if I walked into a place and over half of the instruments and all of the vocals were mic'd up with RE11s I'd say, "This is pretty weird. I think we'll be alright, but it's weird." Something that spartan with the world's biggest pop band is delightfully strange to me.A.David.MacKinnon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 4:27 pmPretty sure the EV's are actually AKG D19's.

Just watched the third episode this evening. The Stylaphone had me cracking up.

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
It's a pretty great mic for what it is (if you can find a working one). Much like the RE15. It's kind of useable and good on a ton of sources and punches above it's weight. That said, it was the sm57 of Europe at the time. That's why it's on everything for the rehearsals.losthighway wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 6:04 pmOh, you're totally right: D19.

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
Just finished Part 2 and I'm loving it so far. Watching them working out parts is fascinating. It really feels like being in the same room as them. Even though I know how it ends, I still think I'll be sad when it's over. Wish we could get a similarly in-depth look at the making of Revolver, Pepper, etc.

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
Also, and perhaps slightly OT, but there’s a great podcast called One Sweet Dream which challenges a lot of the commonly circulated Beatles lore. Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan.

It's amazing how the people in the street below the rooftop seem like 100 years ago rather than 50.

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
I'm a few episodes into One Sweet Dream. They're bright. It's entertaining. I'll continue to listen to a few more and see what happens. They adore Macca. I'll leave it at that.Colorblind wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 8:29 amAlso, and perhaps slightly OT, but there’s a great podcast called One Sweet Dream which challenges a lot of the commonly circulated Beatles lore.

Once they move to Apple, what are the lollipop looking mics they have for vocals?

Re: BEATLES GET BACK DISCUSSION
Do you mean the AKG C28/C30 (on the long stalk?) or maybe the ones they had pointing at the ceiling (I assume to avoid feedback from the PA)? this site https://www.guitarandbeyond.com/beatles-microphones/ says they are the Neumann KM56 with a KM54 windscreen. if so, maybe they were in Omni and that's why they were pointing up (didn't matter)losthighway wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 9:23 pmOnce they move to Apple, what are the lollipop looking mics they have for vocals?
