My band recorded in Studio 2 last year and it was INSANE to walk into that room.

1977-1996 I spent in radio, these microphones are simply amazing!

I'm so glad to hear the amount of time and effort that goes into getting the plugins right. I just bought the Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain, and it sounds great — but I wouldn't know if it sounds and acts like the real thing if it weren't for people like Marek.
@grelch
The full episode of this short is fantastic. I'd encourage people to watch the whole thing. It's a tour of living history.
@fortierma64
What a great video! I had the privilege to spend an evening in AR studio two years ago they almost had to drag me out. Incredible, magical place.
@biot_travel
priceless videos on abbey road - i hope you get to go around to some other classic studios and do some in depth vids
@Shaft-Industries
Great interview Rick. I'd love to see a little more tech and gear stuff like this. Pretty cool.
@TheEnlightenedFool
fantastic collection, inspiring knowledge, great video!
@daveuk1324
Proper fascinating - great stuff - thank god for dedicated people!
@REDOPTICALCORP
I loved this video!!! I love the history of audio equipment and just watched your visit to the chicago music exchange! Keep the videos coming!!
@CharlieNaebeck
It is cool to see the history and hear the tech specs, but what I really hoped for in perusing this video was to see the mics fired up and used on something.
@trevormorgan1205
I loved this episode.
@Skinnyorangemusic
Rick, I love your videos. It is always fun learning more about the music I love. Especially for a nerd like me. Subscribed.
@Skinnyorangemusic
Mic and pre-amp in the same shell?! Cant wait to see this be a common thing in 20 years, genius.
@MirlitronOne
I was delighted to acquire two STL "Ball and Biscuit" (actually, the BBC called them "Apple and Biscuit") microphones in a house sale several years ago (inspired by the White Stripes song of the same name) and was even more excited when somebody told me "You know, they used to use those at Abbey Road." My enthusiasm was slightly tempered when I later discovered that they were used for studio talkback and not for actual recording... However, they are still good omnidirectional microphones!

WAY, way back in the 1950s my mum was nursing the great Mantovani, of popular strings fame, in his last illness and he bequeathed her a box of stuff incl 2 wall lamps we had in our house.. Anyway, in the bottom of the box was a seating plan /mic placement plan for his orchestra, of course I didn't see the significance of this until later when I myself started to train and study a whole bunch of different musics, wow, I wish I still had the document, but I do remember with hindsight how the attitude was 'omnidirectional rules' and old Mantovani certainly knew a thing or two, f'rinstance the back of a string instrument (maple) produces more tops than the front (close grained spruce, it's similar to the AAA grade stuff they use for high end acoustic guitars), so you can place a mic behind and close to floor level for violins to get that 'silver sound', or have the players standing a la modern chamber orchestra.
What a great channel you have here Rick! I very much enjoyed the recent stuff on Sting and The Police. Wonderful. 🎶🌟👍
@CarloPiana
Really fascinating stuff even if I only know the basics in a kind of sketchy way.
@ricardoostos2406
So interesting even though I am not into mics/gear so much I learnt a lot about those classic ones - almost a tech history.
