Clay Blair is the head engineer and owner of Boulevard Recording in Hollywood-and a huge Beatles fan.
In this video, Clay set out to capture the tones heard on The Beatles’ Abbey Road; more specifically, those found on “Come Together.” He did so using many of the original instruments, microphones, mic preamps, and miking techniques, like AKG D19s and Chandler REDD.47 valve preamps. The Chandler amps are faithful reproductions of the 47s found in EMI REDD.51 consoles at Abbey Road Studios!
Unusual by today’s standards, Clay recreated engineer Geoff Emerick’s drum miking techniques which were used on nearly everything from Sgt. Pepper’s to Abbey Road. The setup consisted of a modest 7 microphones: five AKG D19s, a D20, and a Neumann KM 56 (a 54 was used here). One D19 served as an overhead; one was used on the hi-hat; and the remainder were positioned on the bottom of the toms. The D20 was placed on the kick, and the KM 56 miked the snare-also on the bottom! Who are we to argue with Geoff Emerick?
While the recording setup varied slightly from song to song on Abbey Road, “Come Together” was recorded on a 4-track tape machine. The 7 drum tracks would have been summed to a single track with a Fairchild on it, and that was that! There weren’t even any room mics used for the drums. Any room tone heard was actually bleed from the guitar, bass, or vocal microphones. The Beatles, like many great bands of the era, tended to record live as a band, with each member baffled off from the other…far from the isolated performances we tend to capture these days, and yet it sounded incredible! Now, we’ve come to associate the sound of bleed with bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, whether we’re consciously aware of it or not.

Hey Guys ! Just a comment about the REDD Preamps and the TG desk misconception. From Recording The Beatles "Geoff Emerick also notes that the solid-state TG desk simply didn't allow him to record the drums the same way; he recalls being particularly frustrated at not being able to capture the same bass and drum sound as he had in the past. In fact, large portions of the album (Abbey Road) were tracked on the REDD.51 desk in Studio Three, but the TG certainly had an effect when mixing" Come Together was indeed recorded in studio 3 and ACTUALLY the famous 3M 8 track machines used on this album were not available so it was also recorded on the J37 tape machine. It was then dumped to the 8 track machine in studio 2 for the guitar solo, hand claps and the Rhodes piano solo. Hope this answers any misgivings ! Happy to answer any other questions I can as well regarding this session.

AMAZING bass sound you captured during this session!! Question: is that a modern Rickenbacker or a vintage bass? I have re-read Geoff Emerick's book many times, and it's important to let people know of his contribution to The Beatles' sound. Great video all round - well done to everyone involved.

@BoulevardRecording 6 жыл бұрын

It's a Rickenbacker 4001C64 which is their reissue of the Rick bass that McCartney had. The 64 vintage Rickenbacker basses are VERY rare.

The irony is that the Beatles thought the REDD consoles looked awful, old, like a RAF bomber...they were actually into modern looking stuff, and would have been happy recording with an iphone. Now we have the iphone and of course we like vintage...those REDDs look so cool to us.

If you cut drums, and set up other mics such as the gtr amp mic, the bass amp mic, piano mic, just to get the bleed, or the “cheap bleed”, then you need to process those tracks just as you would if those tracks were “real”. Meaning you would have to process the gtr amp bleed mic the same as you would process the gtr. And pan it as such. Your options are incredible with the “cheap bleed” (as far as panning, eq, compression, volume, reverb) but the beauty about bleed is your stuck with it on there (after you’ve gone through lengths to minimize it) and then the bleed falls where it may. (Once you process and pan and place the other tracks). This to me that is the true beauty of bleed. There’s is much haphazardness involved that the lack of control, after recording, is special. Great video. Cheers

Songs from Abbey Road that were recorded in Studio 3 at Abbey Road using the REDD.51 Desk NOT the TG Desk : Come Together, Oh Darling, Octopus's Garden, Something, The End.... "20 of the 36 tracking days were done in Studio 3 during Abbey Road." So even overdubs were done on the REDD desk on some songs as well. The only song NOT MIXED on the TG desk on Abbey Road was "She's So Heavy" Which was actually recorded at Trident but MIXED on the REDD.51 desk in studio 3.

abbey road was the first album with the tg solid state desk but i think the only one was in studio two so all the songs done not in studio two would have still been the redd desks the mixing was mostly done on the tg but alot of that sound from the redd desks are still in there i have a question also which redd desk from waves would be more beatles time period and more used by them the 37 or the 51 and for a beatles vibe would you reccomend using the redd or the tg?

@BoulevardRecording 6 жыл бұрын

Id say the REDD for Beatles vibe as 95% of their records were tracked on them. The 37 and 51 were used a lot. If you mean the REDD 17 plugin, that desk was only used on the first LP Please Please Me and used V72's instead of the REDD.47 preamp and lineamps, bit of a softer sound.

i ment did they use the 37 or the 51 more because one the wave version both are in the same plugin but u can toggle back and forth and i was wondering should which one was more authentic

another quick thing is Ringo played all 3 toms on this song, you can hear it especially on the new mixes. and they were defiantly full tea toweled on top, not hanging off.
