Rick and the RACK OF DOOM

Hey there! I got something for ya. Here’s a pile of 30-second tracks from the sessions we did recently with Briana Tyson. Every signal on this recording was recorded direct via an ADL 700 or ADL 600 preamp. Because we could.

No other processors were used in these recordings. The guitars were recorded with Shure SM57s and Royer R-121s, and the bass was ran direct into an ADL 700. The stereo sources—keys, drum overheads, and two room mics were ran through the ADL 600s.

Here’s the mic list for this session:

Kick (Shure Beta 52)
Snare (Shure SM57)
Hi Tom (Sennheiser 421)
Low Tom (Sennheiser 421)
Stereo Overheads (Neumann K184′s)
Stereo Room Mics (AudioTechica 4080)
Bass Guitar (Direct)
Electric Guitar (SM 57)
Electric Guitar (Royer 121)
Female Vocal (Brauner VM1)
Keyboard (Yamaha P100 direct)

These tracks are available via SoundCloud for download. Help yourself to them and do with them what you will. Mix ‘em up! Or down.

We hope you think they sound as amazing as we do.

Here’s the tracks:

Here’s video of this session:

The ADL 700 Channel Strip, and Where to Get it.

Bellsauce — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:00:44 +0000

[UPDATE: Here's a handy PDF of all the ADL 700 dealers. You're welcome!]

No compromises. This is, hands-down, our finest tube preamp to date. And while we hope you believe us, fact is that “must be heard to be believed” really is true. So, we’d like you to check out the following video starring PreSonus Artist Briana Tyson her cadre of usual suspects from around the PreSonus office. This video, a very special episode of PreSonus LIVE, feature the entire band running through ADL 600 and ADL 700 preamps. Guitars, keys, bass, overheads—everything.

We recognize that YouTube’s streaming audio quality is going to be a bottleneck here, so we are encouraging those interested in the ADL 700 Channel Strip to find one at their nearby US PreSonus dealer. We’ve arranged an elite team of dealers who have agreed to set up in-store demo units of the ADL 700 so you can pop in and experience it for yourself. They are:

PreSonus LIVE starring Briana Tyson and a TON of ADL series Preamps is up on YouTube

Bellsauce — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:42:48 +0000

Hey! If you missed this incredible presentation, it’s no big deal. Because you can see it on YouTube. Or heck, just click that familiar little triangle-shaped “Play” button below.

We flew Briana in to Baton Rouge, assembled a killer band, and had them track a few songs using Rick’s monster rack of ADL 600 and ADL 700 preamps—because we can. EVERY channel of audio in this production was run through the ADLs. How do you think it sounds?

Grammy Winning Producer/Engineer Warren Riker Doubles Down on the ADL 700

Bellsauce — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:15:28 +0000

[This just in from three-time Grammy winning Producer/Engineer Warren "WAR" Riker! He's using using two ADL 700's on Anders Osborne's latest recording at Dockside Studio in Maurice, LA. He says...]

“Damn, these sound awesome on acoustic guitars! Can’t wait to start recording vocals!”

Warren working hard at Dockside, but we have more to come on this story in the coming weeks as production on this record continues. Stay tuned!

Rick is up to Something Big…

What do you suppose he’s planning for THIS rig?

ADL 700 Vocal Demo from SonicSense Pro Audio

Bellsauce — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 19:26:37 +0000

The coolness just doesn’t STOP with SonicSense Pro Audio! Following up their killer bass DI demo of the ADL 700, now it gets put to the REAL test: vocals!

And when I say a REAL test for vocals, I mean it’s tested with none other than Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” which is like the hardest song to sing ever, as p̶e̶r̶f̶o̶r̶m̶e̶d̶ knocked out of the park by American Idol finalist Mathenee Treco.
