    All these artifacts are now the residue of once a great man's life.
    Now to be divided and scattered. Truly a humbling experience.
    Thank you Les Paul for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent..

    Les Paul was a pioneer in multitrack recording and overdubbing.
    Ampex recording equipment was used in the Easten Sound recording studio when I worked there in 1971. He's referring to API recording console (I think), at Eastern Sound we had a 32 input/24trk output APi console. APi stood for Automated Processes Inc.
    We used the AMPEX 8 trk and 16/24trk MM recorders at Eastern SOUND back in the day.
    We also used the U47 and U87 Neumann mics in most recording applications, along with AKG and other specialty mics.

    Thank you for posting these videos, very interesting stuff! Seeing his old recording desks and studio gear is very neat. I agree with the other people posting here, there should be a museum dedicated to displaying these items you have shown us! Where there are duplicate or multiple items, sell them to working studios where they will function as they were intended.

    3:23 Nice! Love the Nighthawk on the wall, just such a beautiful and versatile instrument as far as offset design and tones are concerned.. I've heard ALOT of hate for the 'hawk over the years into the present and some of the shit I have heard regarding this model can be construed as being deserved by Gibson for failing to market it properly and for failing to highlight the vast array of tonality that can be easily achieved using these pickups in the configuration they chose to make standard on these Nighthawks.. Man, they are seriously such badass instruments and its a damn shame they never really got the chance to win players over in the grand scheme of things.. NV And now they're most closely associated with Nancy Wilson of Heart and that's just fucked as all hell for this model. Should have gotten a really respected name such as Paul Gilbert or John Petrucci to adopt this model exclusively, to the point where those guys would be identified by the fact that they only play Nighthawks, back when the model debuted in the early 90s.. If that was the case I promise these
    motherfuckers would be iconic as fuck and unaffordable outside of a small fortune nowadays..
    Anyway, that's all I had to offer and will get little into the sunset now..

    At around 4:08, you see a multi-track machine (either 8 or 16 track...can't tell) using an Ampex Quadraplex video tape deck as the transport. These decks were the first to use 2" tape for video, long before 2" tape was used to record audio.

    "Stairway To Heaven" was not recorded at Sunset Studios; it was recorded at Basing Street Studios in, with some overdubs dinner at Olympic Studios (Barnes). Robert wrote the lyrics at Headley Grange in Hampshire.

    Fantastic videos Norm! Thanks for letting us see this. A little tip is to use a mike from the camera so it's easier to hear you when there is background noise. Anyway, I love your youtube channel. One of the best there is.

      @rexterrocks 8 лет назад +6

      +TheOldOakSyndicate It's great to see someone thinks as I do. Digital may be easy to use but I love analogue and use tape machines. My own personal guitar/bass rig is all analogue too. Digital has no soul :-)

    • @TheOldOakSyndicate
      @TheOldOakSyndicate 8 лет назад +3

      Paul Evans Awesome man! Interesting you mentioned your bass rig, I think the bass guitar (and drums) suffer the most when recorded digitally. I can barely hear the bass guitar in most modern recordings, and if you can hear it, it doesn't "boom", or "drive" like it did in years past. Listen to any early Rolling Stones track and you'll see what I mean. Keep up the tradition friend!

    He spent his whole life trying to get the cleanest sound and then came all the compression and distortion . It must have drove him crazy.. Don't know if it is true or not ,but was told he traced an old parlor sized guitar for his Les paul body. if that is true ,I would like to see the guitar used as a template.

    It's tragic that the government didn't unite with the private sector and try to build a museum and put all of Les Paul's stuff in it and preserve it for prosperity. Why did they auction all his stuff off? A very important piece of American history has been destroyed- lost forever.
