Sonic Youth studio gear
 

I was wondering for quite some time, what kind of gear SY use in Echo Canyon, I mean, do they record to Laptops (digital) or they keep it analog tape? :confused:

I think, as far as I know, they often use(d) Dat tapes as a medium, but as you can see in the demonlover-soundtrack-making of, jim is working on a Mac (?!) beneath the huge soundboard.
so I would think they will use at least digital mediums for non-sound-influencing production processes.
oh my god, do anybody understand this?

they're using mac's, and they're recording digitally.

but is their soundboard digital too? I would say "no", correct me if I am wrong

their soundboard is a superb custom made neve analoge desk if i recall correctly.

whats custom made about it?

yes. i am wondering what Echo Canyon is like: console/tape/outboard... et cetera.

there has to be something somewhere? a TapeOp interview? something???

yeah Bal is correct...

the closet, general information i came across was in a Wharton Tiers Tape Op interview becuz apparently he assisted in the Echo Canon build.

any link?
