al mcguire Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 December 1978 Recording Engineer / Producer was US the premiere magazine for recording engineers, there was no internet, there were few schools, Full Sail was still BeeJay Recording, and every issue was a treat was a treat boxto find in the mail. I picked this issue for my daughters birthday 41 years ago. This one has an interview with Geoff Emerick about how they did Sgt Pepper. The ad's are emotional for an analog dinosaur.

Philip Perkins Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yes, R/EP was a magazine you kept copies of, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Oh man. I read R/EP and db magazine (not dB, right?) during lunch at my summer jobs when I was a kid, and would take copies home for the weekend and try to figure out what they were writing about. Had to ask my boss and others to explain some of the stuff to me, but flipping through the issue you posted sure brings back memories. Thanks Al!

al mcguire Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Here is the link to the RE/P library https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Recording_Engineer_Producer.htm and the entire site https://www.americanradiohistory.com/ Example - I read in RE/P "Someone von Someone always uses and SM 57 under the snare with the phase reversed and mixed back into the dry snare" and i respond to myself " I've never tried that, it seems so obvious, I'll try it next tracking session, and I liked it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Sadly - annoyingly - when AudioMedia changed hands (the first time) the fairly new digital archive of the previous publishers efforts just stopped working! If you hadn't downloaded what you wanted when it was owned by A you couldn't when B rebranded. One important result is that I cannot share a link to eg the odd interesting article like how David Lewiston recorded gamelan with EV50s when the KM74s overloaded ... I'm not a fan of sitting digitising anything without a pay packet to encourage it but I guess in several years if we still have some form of digital technology I might be the old man uploading Alarums & Excursions ... Thanks again Al for that issue! Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourtelot Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Funny that this should show up here as I am in the middle of some deep-dredge reminiscing with a man who is producing a documentary on the 1979 Kiss US tour that I was the stage monitor mixer on. Why 1978-9 right now? Anyway, just a funny little trip back in time. 40 freakin' years. Wow! D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al mcguire Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 "I picked this issue for my daughters birthday 41 years ago." A mile marker for me. JB - Be very careful what you wish for. Please post a picture of you in your polyester dico suit. This LP features Sheldon Kurland as the the leader of the strings, Shelly is Peter Kurland's dad. Small world.

tourtelot Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 David Hewitt, of Record Plant Remote NYC, has a new book out full of war stories from the road in the day. I worked on those trucks, so it's personal for me, but the stories are great for anyone in the audio recording business. https://www.amazon.com/Road-Recording-Stars-Golden-Music/dp/1493056174/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=david+hewitt&qid=1637348995&qsid=137-3353868-0814509&sr=8-1&sres=1493056174%2CB000008GJH%2CB07VKJNCX3%2CB07KCFXP9M%2C1439806519%2C1800763727%2C0951764519%2C1621904830%2CB083ZLK9PL%2C1838276963%2C0205634370%2C0767916131%2C0070046999%2C0312446926%2CB07HQ7LK14%2C1539727505&srpt=ABIS_BOOK D.
