He's sort of right. There were no API mic pre's in the Record One API
as I had it built. ALL the mic pre's were Valley People/transformerless
preamps. I still have 15 of them in my rack. The reason was, when I was
building the console in Farmingdale, NY, they sent me the preamps to
try at the sound factory and they always sounded dark. Very much like
the ones at the SF. So I wanted something more open and that's when I
found those. There was never any api preamps in that console.
Also, the reverb was an EMT140 tube/mono plate (we had 2) with Cooper
Time Cubes on the front end producing 14ms of pre-delay.

PSsssssst....Not true at all. If you listen to all the records I made
as well as Ladanyi, Bolas, Bosworth, and the rest of the guys I taught
there and at the Sound Factory, you'll hear an inherent similarity
between them all.
PRESENCE and SIZE.
Peace,

The Cooper produces a lot more than just a delay. g You must have had to do
some big time EQ to restore some decency to the returns.

I agree and hear too little of it in newer recordings..for my taste.

Hi Val,

I have 2 of your old 525's from Record One. I love those things. Ugly
color, though...How many 525's did you have?

Jeff

I don't know what Cooper Time Cubes you used but it took no eq.
They sounded great!

I will never forget the day we opened up a Cooper Time Cube. What a hoot.

Why... not one flux capacitor, but TWO?

Seriously, why?

Cooper Time Cubes, quite the technological masterpiece. They do have a
unique sound though.

Oh, c'mon. Few people will ever have the opportunity for "the moment"
today. You won't spoil it if you describe what's on either end of the
coiled up garden hose.

At Master Sound, I remember using the Time Cube as predelay for the EMT,
and this being part of the standard configuration that everybody used. The
Time Cube was kind of hollow and midrangy, but once it got through the EMT
it didn't matter. And we weren't drenching everything in it either, so it
could be very unnatural by itself and still be reasonable and subtle in a
mix.

It is very fine to see you here, Mr. Garay. I hope you stick around... this
is weird sort of forum but it's a lot of fun once you get all of the political
debate killfiled.

It's a Sears garden hose.
But not just ANY Sears garden hose.
It's a _particular_ model of Sears garden hose.

Let us not forget the tight high rider pants with the poofy tied at the waist
shirts!

I sing a bit higher and clearer when I dress like that.

Don't tell anyone I said that...lol.

Gold Star in Hollywood-of sainted memory-had perhaps the most famous echo
chamber of all time. It was an odd shape and tiled. Attempts were made over the
years to duplicate it but they never sounded the same. Doc Seigel said it was
the grout he used.

But being Sears, there will always be replacement parts (at least for
the garden hose part). Or at least Sears used to be like that, but
I'll bet they aren't any more.
