Honestly the pre is what type of flour should I use in these cookies, it makes a difference, but drums, drummer, room & mic make a bigger difference. Yeah it matters but I'm not going to argue with either. With Neve the iron seams to be the key, when pushed the real deal old Transformers just make things big and exciting, I wish I could find a modern build that gives me what my 8 ch of Dan Alexander reproductions with Recycled Transformers brings. I sold My CAPI's a while ago because I knew I could still easily get that sound from more CAPI at any time and have the sound of old API. Having both is the way to go, damn I want me some Heiders! I remember that moment for me: "it's the room, stupid." And it was a Heider room! That's one hell of a room to teach that lesson!

I got the same lesson recently. We did two songs in Omega Studios Studio C (or was it studio B?).
Just an absolutely different vibe in the room compared to my drum den recordings.
There was a lot of sweet gear too but I think the main difference was the room. We were playing loud and it sounded great in there.
First time I've ever tracked in a "real" studio...

Giving this a bump as it is a must listen to test. I still dig the AMS-Neve units by quite a bit over the others. I was hoping the Don Classics NV73s would be the same but they dont do what the AMS units do. Doesn't look like the files are there anymore, unfortunately. Ah yes, Dropbox changed something on using public files recently. I just pasted in a new link to the same file in my original post. Hope it's working now

Yeah. Tracked a weekend in the one decent bigger room locally last year, I thought, "I have more and better gear than this place, I don't need gear, I need a better room."
