Hi John, when you buy or upgrade biab it comes with some videos to explain in pretty deep detail all features that are new for that version. Never seem to have time to fiddle long enough, but also I gotta say the interface is still not very intuitive, and cluttered as all get-out. I think somebody could make some money making a DVD tutorial about how to use BIAB properly, I keep trying and getting frustrated. Maybe we all miss the subliminal effect of the almost imperceptible tape hiss being modulated by the lower frequencies.īasil, you're on a Mac, right? If so, you using any extra sound stuff outside of the Mac's sound processing? Which Mac? I think after listening to the vocals and up front instruments that the analogue/digital debate really isn't over yet. I could give you the make and gauges of the strings used on the various instruments but prefer to keep the description brief The drums were the Korg D5 live via midi+sync and also run to tape.Īccordian was Fintan Stanley's sampled, and mixed with brendan Shine's 5 row also sampled.Īgain live on mixdown and mixed in with the taped parts.ġ7+22 Various sampler instruments doubledĪudio Magnetics mastering 1/4' tape, BIB Splicer,Īnd Ampex 2' Grand master tape. Soundproofing wasn't really necessary because of the location. This would be a view of some of the room a little later in the 90's.about 1994 The 2' multitrack was a B**ch to keep running and it was made by a UK company, I may remember the name but can't at the moment (Probably because I WANTED to forget it) The takeup spool tension servo system kept blowing transistors.

Oh yes, the vocals and acoustic instruments were recorded from another room, a converted bedroom with foam backed carpet taped up on the walls. (I knew them and they did it gratis)Ĭareful listening and diligent playing and a smidgeon of inventiveness.PLUS copious quantities of various beverages. The reverb was a 'Great British Spring' Īll the monitoring was done on a Bose AMA-5 system specially calibrated by the Bose (Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan)technicians in the anechoic chamber.
