6/23/2023 0 Comments Sunset sound studio reverb reviewMy main monitors haven’t changed in two decades. I find the Avocet to be a brilliant playback knob. I have six modded Altecs that are basically Abbey Road EMI RS124’s, original 1176’s, LA3’s, an LA 2a an LA2, Chandler EMI stereo, Chandler RS 124, Highland Dynamics BG2, Overstayer gear, many API EQs, Neve 33609, API 2500, Channels of Neve 1084 EQ, Compex, four Distressors, Acme, Eventide H300, AMS DMX, AMS RMX, as well as two digital Bricasti reverbs to just to name just some of the gear I have. Some of my very favorite analog gear that I use are all the Retro Instruments tube gear, including 2 Sta Levels, the 176, the Revolver, and the 2A3 EQs. I am old-school and like hiring mastering engineers. The doctor doesn’t operate on himself, and the famous actress or model doesn’t do their own makeup. I am not a fan of trying to be a mastering engineer. It’s DA/AD Dangerous converters - the AES out to the Dangerous DA - then to a pair of passive transformers to smooth out the digital - either Malotki or UTC - then to a Dangerous BAX EQ to knock down 12-18 Hz and 70K, then to a Dramastic Obsidion SSL style buss compressor or an API 2500 or Neve 33609, then to an old school NTI EQ, then to a pair of matched Pultec mastering EQs for more tube and iron, back to the Dangerous A/D. My mix buss hasn’t changed for quite a while. But lots of tubes, transformers, and analog gear, along with basically every plugin available. It’s a true hybrid system: no desk anymore, only faders. My studio, the BoogieMotel, is based in Pro Tools HDX. His credits include Slow Down, Keb' Mo's Grammy-winning Best Contemporary Blues Album and Love is My Religion, Ziggy Marley’s Grammy-winning reggae record.
