Interview with Dejablues

  1. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  2. A: both, we can have the magical fizz of analog with the clinical control of digital. why we need to choose?

  3. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  4. A: We have 14 channels available, 4 from the UA 4-710, 4 From the Brunetti, 3 from Warm Audio '73, 2 Unison Preamp from UA and 1 line. Normally we mic drums with 7 mics, kick in and out, snare top and bottom, one mic on every tom and a mono overhead; the bass uses the Ampeg PT-50T which is an amazing tube amplifier. Guitars are record trough a Fender Princeton Reissue and I use a personal IR system that I built myself, consisting in a load box, an IR loader from Tc and a cool DI. Keyboards are recorded in mono if playing electric pianos, stereo if grand.

  5. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  6. A: We do recordings mostly of full band. We have 14 channels available, 4 from the UA 4-710, 4 From the Brunetti, 3 from Warm Audio '73, 2 Unison Preamp from UA and 1 line.
