Re: Rubber Soul
Yeah, post more stuff!!! I'm totally enjoying the articles. The Yellow Submarine one was really interesting. Good timing too, I've been on a full-on Beatles kick the past month or so. Whatever else you wanna post, I'm ready for it...

Re: Rubber Soul
OK. Here's something related to the Mobile Fidelity Beatles collection:
http://www.deadwaxcafe.com/vzone/beatles.asp When I read this, I HAD to email Stan Ricker, the gentleman who cut the lacquers for these albums; here is his reply: "THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERNED EMAIL----------- WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS IS LARGELY TRUE--------THE EVALS WERE DONE BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME, WITH A HEARING PROBLEM, ON A REALLY POOR SYSTEM, WHILE EVALUATING SOFT LACQUER REFERENCE-DISKS, RATHER THAN THE SUPER-HARD JVC VINYL------------ SOME ALBUMS HAD TREBLE BOOST, SOME HAD BASS BOOST, NOT ALL HAD EITHER OR BOTH, SOME HAD TREBLE AND/OR BASS ROLL-OFF----- MY OWN PERSONAL MOFI FAVORITES---------NOT BEATLES------ARE THE VERY EARLY MOFI RELEASES--UP TO ABOUT # 010 OS SO, WHERE I WASN'T SECOND-GUESSED BY SOME MANAGEMENT MASTERING-ENGINEER-WANNABE;-----THE SAME SITUATION EXISTS TODAY WITH THE SO-CALLED "NEW MOFI"--------- SORRY FOR THE CRUMMY NEWS---TRY TO HAVE A GOOD DAY---I AM! CHEERS, STAN" IMHO, Abbey Road is the worst: it's been pushed up about seven db at 3.5k!!!!! And the low end is just about as bad. Still, they're the best; if you have the ears and the testicular fortitude, you can correct some of the bigger offenders and archive them elsewhere for your own private enjoyment, not to be sold, broadcast or shared. Moo.

Re: Rubber Soul
Here's a link to a Mix article on Abbey Road:
**** Also, somewhere I have an article about using a speaker for a kick mic. I'll look for it. It's a good technique and it's used more than you might think.

Re: Rubber Soul
max,
did you ever find that link about using a speaker as a mic? I want to try this idea. I am wondering about the quality of the speaker. Will a Radio Shack cheapie do? I noticed that the Yamaha version of this is only a 6 1/2". I did a search on the DUC, but I couldn't find anything. Worst case, I'll just get some old home speakers and play around. Cheers! G

Re: Rubber Soul
I thought I'd add to this old thread since I was looking this subject up anyway.
As it's been stated here, the currently CD/digital/stereo vinyl versions of Rubber Soul are still sourced from George Martin's 1980's remix. In 1987, both Help! and Rubber Soul were remixed for the initial release of the Beatles albums on CD. These new mixes are quite controversial among fans as the original 1965 mono and, to an extent, the stereo mixes of those albums were quite "dry". Rather than using the echo chamber at Abbey Road, Martin did the mixes at AiR Studios, London. It has been said on a number of forums that digital reverbs were used on those albums. This site here has a list of some of the vintage gear found at AiR Studios. https://www.vintagedigital.com.au/air-studios/ Some of the reverbs from that '87 remix period listed include:
They did also have an EMT 140 Plate Reverb (which, of course isn't digital) - https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/reverbs/emt-140.html Since the date of the OP's post, we now have the Abbey Road Waves bundles for emulating the chamber reverb used on the 1965 mixes. As a postscript: the whole reason we still listen to the 1987 remix is due to misguided respect to George Martin by the mastering engineers of the 2009 Remasters. http://webgrafikk.com/blog/uncategorized/1987-cd-mixes/ Quote:
