Recording on 100-Year-Old Equipment
🕑 Added 2018-01-13 19:05:00 +0000 UTCYou're not really in the studio unless your recording to tape, no... you're not really in the studio until there's no multi-tracking... NAY... you're not really recording music unless your laying down your tracks into a spinning piece of wax!
Hope you enjoy this look into recording history. This was a lot of fun.
Next week we see how this equipment holds up against a metal band.

It was a really fascinating recording session, I anticipated a lot of troubleshooting but not the troubleshooting that ending up happening. Metal band didn't turn out at all like I imagined.

Ahhh this is amazing! I adore a process and this is definitely a process I had not seen before. Fascinating! Can't wait to see the metal band results next time!

Yea! Here each cylinder has to be home made. They can do a few takes, but require 15 of shaving off a layer of wax very evenly to start another take. Pressure was on for sure. And sure :) Scanned through some of your videos and they seem really fun! Sent something over to you just now. Thanks for the support!

Awww man so excited to see the metal song ! I thought just recording normally puts pressure on but this is a step up haha! Super interesting though to see how they used to record. Also I was wondering if you could do me a favour? Just finished a video making metal with everyday objects (toaster, toothbrush etc.) and it would make my life if at the end you said something like "what the hell was that? Needs more strings, that wasnt metal" just recorded on your phone or anything. If you cant thats cool! If you can you can email me at andrewwatson55@hotmail.co.uk Love what you do man!
