DAPTONE and TUBE-TECH

 

TUBE-TECH visits

DAPTONE STUDIOS                          

 

We have had the pleasure to spend some time with Gabriel Roth in Daptone Studios.

It was great to see and hear how the highly personal

soul sound of Daptone is created.

We are proud to be part of that sound, since Gabriel relies heavily on TUBE-TECH equipment for his work.

The place has a fantastic vibe, and a bunch of highly skilled soul musicians connected.

Amy Winehouse managed to benefit from this and had her her big selling album"Back to Black" recorded at Daptone using both studio and musicians.

 

But don't forget to check out all the fine music on Daptones own label: Daptone records.

Hot News is the new SHARON JONES AND THE DAP KINGS album to be released May 4th 2010.

This recording has been made with comprehensive use of the TUBE-TECH RM modules + TUBE-TECH Passive eq's and LCA2B compressor.

TUBE-TECH RM2 at Electric Lady.

 

We met John O'Mahony in Copenhagen August 2009, when he and Andy Wallace was working

with Danish Top band KASHMIR.

 

Jesper Bo brought the RM8 rack containing both mic pre's PM1A, eq's EM1A and compressors CM1A

to the session, and both John O'Mahony and Andy Wallace fell in love with the gear.

Especially the opto compressor CM1A made the two gentlemen and the band very happy.

The compressors are featured on all bass drum and snare drum tracks on the production.

The Micpre's are used on numerous other sources, like bass, keys and guitars.

 

John O'Mahony has been using a RM2 rack featuring Eq and compressor in Electric Lady for some time,

and he has been so kind to let us in on some of his sounds

3 Racks of TUBE-TECH RM8 modules

 

Richard Rainey is from Ireland, but recently based in London,

where he's working base is Metropolis Studios. 

 

Richard has done loads of work for U2. He won 3 Grammys,from his work with the band,and he is the first to get credit on the new U2 Cd "No Line on the Horizon", where he engineered most ot the tracks.

 

This production with GRAND AVENUE was his second as producer for the band.

The tracks has been mixed in Metropolis during June 2009 by Richard and David Bascombe.

 

Richard requested High End gear for the recording at Little Eden Studio, owned by Danish band Sabya

and TUBE-TECH supplied three RM8 Racks equipped with a variety of modules.

Richard and CRAND AVENUE have been extremely pleased with the performance of the RM8 System.

 

"The tracks needed very little or no treatment at all in the mix. Especially the guitar tracks was very easy to fit into the mix. The RM modules really make a difference."

   


 

Richard talks about having a good working setup, using the RM8 modular series.
