How the Times
Change
BY
J OHN G ATSKI
hen PAR launched the annual
Gear Guide in 1998, the pro
audio world and magazine
environment were, shall we
say, quite different. The Internet, as a major
information conduit, was still a few years
away; big recording studios were still the
way to put down your tracks, and powered
speakers for line arrays were pretty rare.
DAT machines and CD-Rs were the dominant way to store stereo tracks, and most
microphones were still made in U.S.,
Germany and Japan.
I thought it would be interesting to go back
to that first Gear Guide in Feb. 1998 and see
what the trends were. The cover included the
future forward-looking Otari Advanta digital
console TASCAM’s double DAT DA-302,
Fostex’s D-90 hard disk recorder and
AudioControl’s newly- launched IASYS digital measurement system. Hafler Pro supplied
us with a pair of its powered TRM-8 studio
monitors and EAW loaned us a live sound
speaker for a cover shot.
In the Gear Guide's new products section, Denon and Otari introduced new studio MiniDisc recorders, and Apogee Sound
revealed a new linear array for the concert
environment (no self-power then). Shure
also had just announced its new line of
mini-condenser boundary mics.
In celebrating his 35th years in the recording
business, Tom Jung was pushing the new frontier of high-resolution recording with DSD and
other formats that would bring both increased
quality, as well as stereo and multichannel listening from one system. He is still pushing.
The Gear Guide’s advertisements from
1998 were a prime indicator of the industry’s
current state-of-products. For example, in the
six pages of B&H ads, readers saw several preAvid Digidesign products including Pro Tools
version 4.0. Judging by the sheer number of
models displayed in the B&H mega-spread,
DAT decks and portables were still very popular — with models from Sony, Panasonic,
HHB, Otari, TASCAM and Fostex.
CD-R was just catching on, as HHB was
pushing its top-of-the-line recorder, the CDR-
W
8
800 for a mere $2,195 (I still have the Fostex
version). Other products of note included
Mackie’s (made-in-USA) analog consoles,
the SR24x4 and the small format VLZs.
Most of the advertised-in-PAR studio
monitors were passive in 1998 with Hafler
Pro being the lone exception. Digital effects
rack processors were all the rage within the
B&H pages, including tc electronic Wizard
2000, Sony DPS-V77, Lexicon MPX-1 and
Alesis Quadraverb. Eventide had its own
page with the DSP 4000.
The tube gear craze was still in its zenith
with ads from Manley, Aphex, Bellari, DW
Fearn, Millennia Media and others. During
the 1996-1999 period, I remember publishing numerous tube mic/mic pre, EQ and
compressor reviews.
Another interesting trend was the recording media ads, especially CD-R, that ran back
then. You saw ads from Sony, HHB and
BASF on ADAT, DTRS (Hi8) and analog
cassettes and open reel tape. CD-R was really
ramping up then, but the media was premiumpriced (more than $5 per disc). Today, with
CD-Rs a few pennies per disc and new DAT,
DTRS and S-VHS tape-based machines all
but gone, you hardly see any media ads.
Though analog tape still lives in specialized tasks, the DAT and DTRS and SVHS-based recorders have been replaced
by computer-based machines that record
onto low-cost, high capacity hard drive or
high density media. The portables record
and store the audio on internal or removable Flash Card media at capacities that
were only a dream in 1998.
In another 10 years, we will take another
look at the Gear Guide to see what current
technologies have given away to new ones.
Hey wait a minute... In 2016, I will be 56
years old. Maybe there will be a replacement technology for me by then.

Pro Audio Review – February 2006
PRODUCT CAPSULES
THE NEW GEAR GUIDE
elcome to the annual 9th annual Pro Audio Review Gear
Guide. This year the ol’ Gear Guide is a bit different than in
years past. When we started the Gear Guide in 1998, there
was nothing like it. We filled it with pages upon pages of micro-listings of
gear, based on category and specs, and we had the best damn manufacturer directory in the business.
At that time, the Internet was but a fledgling and Reader Service numbers were still the rage in all the magazines to get manufacturer info.
Today, the magazine world is quite a bit different. Besides the reliable
print edition, Internet and web-based information from manufacturers is
everywhere.
So starting in 2006, rather than focusing on the nearly-endless lines of
existing equipment and software of past Gear Guides, we have added
extra focus to the new stuff.
The New Gear Guide issue contains more highlighted new products
than in year’s past and, for the first time, color images. Every one of the
NGG’s 2006 Product Capsules includes a color photo, as well as detailed
descriptions, retail price and manufacturer web site.
The web site address is important because of Pro Audio Review’s
newly implemented digital delivery option. The PAR New Gear Guide is
available for the first time via our digital edition. It also is available on our
web site, www.proaudioreview.com.
For the digital edition, more than 50,000 digital links are sent out
monthly (to subscribe, go to the Pro Audio Review web site). The PAR
web site, receives nearly 70,000 visitors monthly. The New Gear Guide
will be available on the PAR web site as a PDF download for an entire
year. After you download, you can search it like any other PDF document,
and the manufacturer links are also live.
One other important element of the 2006 New Gear Guide is that we
have made our manufacturer directory bigger than ever. Since the manufacturer info database is updated annually, the directory has always been
a popular contact resource. And for the first time, the digital edition recipients and web side PDF downloaders (is that the same as freeloaders?) can
access the manufacturer web sites directly from the directory. Pretty cool
— if I do say so myself.
So enjoy the sampling of new products in the 2006 Pro Audio Review
New Gear Guide. And let me know what you think. E-mail me
your comments to: [email protected].

Pro Audio Review – February 2006
what’s it take to coordinate frequencies?
you’re looking at it.
With Audio -Technica’s 4000 & 5000 Artist Elite ®
wireless systems’ built-in IntelliScan™, this included cable
is all you need to link receivers and create automatic
frequency plans for multiple wireless systems.
What’s the big deal about that? Check the
manuals: Other wireless systems require routers,
networks and add-ons just to link receivers and coordinate
frequency plans. That means more stuff to buy and more
time to spend figuring out how it all works.
With Artist Elite wireless systems, you don’t need any
add-ons to coordinate frequencies. Intelliscan coordinates
all your frequencies with a simple linking cable. You’ll
only need a router/network if you want to access the
highest-octane features of Audio-Technica’s 5000 Seriescomputer control with complete setup, monitoring and
diagnostic tools.
Ready to link and go live? Everything you need is in the box.
Artist Elite wireless. It’s that easy.

HSSeriesPoweredMonitors
The new HS Series powered monitors were designed to be true studio
reference monitors in the tradition of the famous NS10MS. That means,
mixes that sound good on Yamaha HS speakers will sound good on anything.
In fact, that’s the ultimate test of a reference monitor. Even better than
that, HS series speakers not only sound good, they look great, too.
The HS10W powered subwoofer complements the HS speakers and easily
handles today’s bass-enhanced music or the most dramatic surround effects.
The HS10W subwoofer uses a bass reflex design cabinet that maintains high
efficiency and low distortion. You can combine HS50Ms or HS80Ms with the
HS10W subwoofer to create different 2:1 (stereo) and 5:1 surround sound
systems. So check out the new standard in near-field reference monitors at
a Yamaha dealer near you.

Pro Audio Review – February 2006
Exclusive Review
BY
D AVID R ITTENHOUSE
e have all seen the big, powerful, digital mixing consoles,
and want one for ourselves.
But the price and power might
be more than we need. We want the power
of all the dynamics, the effects and the wonderful ability of moving things around in the
digital realm if not even for the coolness factor but to save space. Well, both worlds may
have just collided-so you can have your cake
and eat it too without paying a designer
wedding cake price!
W
Yamaha M7CL Console
F EATURES
The M7CL is the new “middle child” of
the Yamaha Commercial Audio family. The
M7CL comes in 32-input or 48-input configurations with four stereos and three miniYGDAI card slots. This means you can have
a total of 40 or 56 channels. Now the card
slots can be utilized for more than just
adding inputs. There are cards for CobraNet
connections, ADAT, TDIF, and AES/EBU.
Output-wise the M7CL has 16 “omni” outputs. This means that none of the standard
outputs are hard wired. All outputs have to
be routed to an omni out. There is no dedicated matrix, stereo or aux outputs; but you
can route any output, including direct outs,
to any omni out.
When you receive the console from the
factory the default setting is setup so all of
the standard outs are routed to the omni outs
but you have the ability to change this at
will. There are also eight DCAs (Digitally
Controlled Amplifier) for the assignable
ease of mixing.
The console comes with dual power
modes. This means the console has its own
internal power supply but can also be connected to a PW800W power supply unit

you have a standard 12 space rack that you
can fill with various types of EQs (31band, boost or cut, cut only, stereo 15band, etc.) or effect units. The effect units
are based off of the widely renowned

It definitely beats sitting in the shop having to rack all that gear up and having to

input channel to the adjacent one. All inputs and omni outs are
on balanced XLRs.
Yamaha has also provided an editing software package with
the console. This allows you to set up the console from your laptop or desktop. You can even connect your laptop directly to the
console via Ethernet and have all the parameters follow in real
time. The true advantage to the software is that you can build
your show anywhere, i.e. on a plane or at home, and store to a
USB thumb drive so you can walk in on a fly date with your
entire show in your pocket. The software is as intuitive as the
console itself. All routing, assignments, and even labeling can
be done before you even arrive at the venue. The layout graphically is just like the physical console so there is no long learning curve or even functions that can’t be accessed. It is truly all
at your fingertips.
IN USE
I had the pleasure of having a demo of the M7CL in December
for RCI Sound Systems. The show was the Pageant of PeaceNational Christmas Tree lighting. This was a very high profile
show with multiple music acts, President George W. Bush speaking, and lighting the tree at the end. Now with only receiving the
console about two days out from the load in we opted to put the
M7CL to use as the primary recording console. Yes, I know that
this is not the consoles’ primary intended function, but if the preamps sound good, the routing functions and ease of control live up
to its hype then why not? And I really needed a console for the
truck.
As with all recording affairs, I had given the engineer duties to
one of our top men, Eugene Yoder. With very little time, and a lot
of previous PM5D experience, Eugene had the console set, routed and ready. Over the next two days, through rehearsals and
show, the M7CL performed simply wonderful. Mr. Yoder said,
“The only difficult thing to get used to was the touch screen and
only two page accesses.
Coming from the PM5D background the touch screen was
totally different, it was much like British consoles but without
multiple layers; however, once I got used to it everything flowed.
Having a fully digital console that is very user/learner friendly is
a plus for someone who may not have extensive digital experience. The total flexibility of the omni outs is a great plus. If I had
to use the M7CL again as a recording console the only thing I
would change is that I would buy an additional output card. You
can never have too many outs when working a recording.
Needless to say the show and console were flawless. Everyone
was happy, from the President on down. The only sad part was the
next day the console left our shop to be shown elsewhere. No tears
were shed but the cry to get one back still echoes.
S UMMARY
Yamaha has now proven to be the contender in the digital realm.
From the PM1D, PM5D to the O1V and the M7CL right in between,
this family of consoles has longevity and enormous promise in the
years ahead. Even with this new console right out of the gate I
would have to give the early “rookie of the year” award. The cake is
cut; now don’t miss your piece.

ack in 2002, Electro-Voice laid
the groundwork for its new networking topology with the introduction of a first-generation IRIS
V1.0 software platform for the EV RL
Series of remote controlled amplifiers.
IRIS (Intelligent Remote Integrated
Supervision) comprises an Ethernet-based
audio control protocol and bidirectional
interface for interrogating and controlling
all parameters within the attached RL
Series amplifiers. With the introduction of
NetMax N8000, a comprehensive digital
audio system controller, Electro-Voice has
now unveiled the next stage in the development of full matrix systems.
Concurrently, the company’s engineers
have revved up IRIS with IRIS-Net, a
comprehensive software platform that
encompasses a large array of control
options. Now, multiple NetMax N8000
controllers can be interconnected to provide simultaneous signal processing,
supervision and signal routing control for

ranging from concert halls, through
hotel/casinos to multi-environment convention centers. Fundamentally, the new
N8000 serves as the central cornerstone
in an IRIS-Net topology, and offers a
flexible hardware platform that allows
field level customization for multiple
applications - a level of adjustment that is
said to go far beyond that available from
competitive platforms.
Uniquely, the new NetMax N8000
offers a choice of distributed or central
processing. In other words, IRIS-Net
enables all or part of the audio signal to be
processed in a central component like the
NetMax N8000, or remotely at the amplifier. (The latter configuration would make

run locally or via a remote that includes
a real-time impedance check for each

ing, for example, large line arrays and
delayed clusters.
Prior to its introduction, the EV system
hardware and software underwent extensive testing. The company has some 13
months of real-world practical experience
to back up its claims. The recently completed Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany
boasts a fully networked sound system that
utilizes some 21 N8000 controllers linked
via CAT-5 cabling to 142 RL Series power
amplifier channels. (Prior to release of
IRIS V1.0, Alabama’s 2003 Farewell Tour
used EV DSP-controlled amplifiers, in
addition to the 2002 and 2003 MTV Music
Awards. Similar components are reported
to have been used during the 2004
Olympic Games in Greece.)
The open-architecture IRIS-Net user
protocol also allows for seamless integration of third-party devices. In addition, it
is expected that IRIS-Net will be incorporated into other Telex Communications

A clock/calendar enables scheduling of
time-based single programs and recurring
events at daily, weekly or even yearly
intervals. Using this event control, reactions to user-defined events or system
states can be configured, including changing system parameters at the touch of a
button or according to a preprogrammed
schedule. Faults and other events are
recorded within an internal log against
date and time, including user-defined situations. Used in conjunction with RL series
amplifiers, the NetMax system can monitor each amplifier, loudspeaker line and
loudspeaker through an elegant impedance
monitoring protocol.
In addition to RL Series amplifiers,
other DSP-Controlled amplifiers can be
integrated into an IRIS-Net topology; for
example, EV’s CPS Class H High
Efficiency Series can be used where
onboard DSP and supervision is not
required. All four CPS models are capable
of remote control activation with

Pro Audio Review – February 2006
A-Line Saves!
Save Money — World-class powered and
unpowered systems priced significantly lower than the
competition.
Save Labor — Set up in half the time compared to
conventional systems. Safely adjust speakers under load with
EZAL™ (Easy Alignment) system — no need to separate and
reattach speakers.
Save Time — Enclosures attach to rigging right from
dolly — they’re aimed and flown in less than ten minutes.
AL10 System
Save Space — With 4 wheel boards stacked 4
high — up to 16 cabinets can be loaded inside the width of a
standard trailer and take up only three feet in length —
half the space of conventional speakers.
Advantage EZALTM
Quick and Easy Set Up
A-Line’s exclusive patent-pending EZAL™ (Easy
Alignment) system saves time and risk of injury
by allowing one person to position any cabinet from 0-5° while coupled and under
load. It consists of integrated sidemounted high strength steel brackets
with lever adjustment, four pushpins
and top-mounted swivel tabs with
holes for connecting cabinets. Sixteen enclosures may be attached and
flown. Set on a fulcrum, the desired
angle is secured by pulling out and
reinserting pins on each side and
positioning the metal bar over holes
spaced in 1/4° increments for the first
2° and 1/2° increments from
3 - 5°. Further adjustment to 19° is possible
by selecting alternate attachment holes.
Review comments
“Incredible sound via premium components…I was amazed at
the clarity of sound and evenness of frequency dispersal.”
“We attacked the EZAL angle adjustments, and actually focused
the array-to-room in a span of only eight minutes.”
“…I could not believe how much labor time we were saving…”
“The ease of transport, two stacks of five taking up less room in
the truck than one level of four conventional speakers, was
amazing.” – Will James, Pro Audio Review, April/05

Recording The
Not Brothers
BY STROTHER BULLINS
t wasn’t long after multi-instrumentalist David George began playing
with The Not Brothers, an eclectic
group of acoustically-based musicians from western North Carolina, that
he began to record his group for purely
promotional purposes. But not for “a real
CD,” George insists. “I had made a demo
or two before — just recordings to give
away to get jobs and whatnot, but this was
the first time we recorded a real CD and
only the second time I’ve recorded and
mixed a CD release by myself.”
I
RECORDING EXPERIENCE
A lackluster and supposedly “professional” recording experience prompted
George to purchase his first recording rig,
a Fostex VF-08 eight-track digital multitracker. Although primarily a musician,
experience as a college front-of-house
engineer and the fact that he was “always
tinkering with sound equipment” sufficiently prepared him for his move to being
a self-recordist.
“But what really did it for me was when
I was in a bluegrass band years ago,”
The Not Brothers, left to right: David George, John Dearmin, Jim Smith.
George recalls. “We went to a ‘real’
recording studio, which I won’t mention.
And I was totally disappointed with the
way the project sounded. The music was
great, but it wasn’t captured right on tape.
I thought to myself, ‘I can do better than
that,’ so I bought my first recorder and
played around with it for a while.”
A CD of firsts, Imagination is the
highly impressive Americana-esque
debut release by The Not Brothers and
features the first songs ever penned by
lead vocalist and guitarist John Dearmin
alongside one song both written and sung
by vocalist and acoustic and electric guitarist Jim Smith. “The arrangements
developed over time as we kept playing
them,” explains George of the nearly alloriginal collection of songs. “We hadn’t
heard most of the material filled out; we
had performed everything with just two
guitars and bass — I play bass. So it was
trial and error the whole way. I was
flying blind.”
Sans bass guitars recorded direct, the
entirety of Imagination is acoustic instru-

mentation and one electric guitar amplifier recorded with a total of three microphones: a Shure PG81, Shure PG52, and
a Nady SCM 900 — all affordable yet
flexible selections. “I used the PG81 for
all the instruments,” explains George. “It
runs on a AA battery and is the affordable version of the SM81. I used the
PG52 on the bass drum. For all vocals I
used the SCM 900, a large diaphragm
condenser. I paid about $50 for it. I’ve
had it for years; they’re low noise and
very affordable.”
Recorded and mixed via a Fostex VF160 EX 16-channel digital recorder/mixer
— an upgrade from George’s eight-track
version — Imagination was compiled
fortable with. The Simon & Patrick is
used on the solo I played for ‘Yesterday, A
Hundred Years Ago.”
Plenty of other acoustic sound sources
— two dobros, two mandolins, six various electric basses, percussion, drums, a
banjo, and great vocals — were recorded
elsewhere. “I used a Breedlove F-style
and a Tacoma mandolin, all banjo tracks
— performed by guest musician John
Boulding — are performed with a prewar

with low-cost technology, but features the
best in instrumentation. “I was recording
$3,000 to $4,000 guitars and $50,000 banjos through a $100 microphone and a $10
cable,” offers George in jest. “And still,
when you listen to it each instrument still
sounds just like itself. I didn’t do a lot of
noodling with the EQ, just rolled enough
off to get rid of any roar.”
BIG GUITARS
Subtractive EQ mainly occurred while
George mixed various dreadnought-sized
guitars made by luthiers including
Tacoma, Simon & Patrick, and a custommade Gray Burchette. “On ‘Any Day
Above Ground,’ a fingerpicking song, we
used the Burchette because it has more of
a ‘bell-like’ quality,” he explains. “Jimmy
played his Tacoma on every track, which
is what he always plays and is most comPro Audio Review – February 2006

Gibson Mastertone, and the two dobros
are one prewar and one made by my friend
Brad Harper.” Basses include models by
Music Man, Kubicki, and Fender.
“There’s a Fender Bullet, Fender
Musicmaster, and a Fender Precision fretless on there. My Music Man is my ‘funk
bass’ — the midrange is incredible. My
old Musicmaster has more of a ’51 P bass,
muted sound, which was used on ‘Any
Day Above Ground.’ But mainly I
switched back and forth in between the
Music Man and Kubicki. The Kubicki has
incredible intonation, and for songs that
just flowed along, I used it.”
Each track was built from a trio-performed scratch track, with spaces left for
instrumental solos. Then overdubs were
done on location at each musicians
respective digs. “I was first, putting down
all my bass, I went to Jimmy’s to record
all his guitar work, I went to Johnny’s and
recorded all his singing, the we came
back here for harmonies, guest musicians,
and percussion. I monitored the whole
thing on headphones; I didn’t have any
studio monitors. I went to Target, bought
$25 Sony headphones and monitored
through those.”
Staying technologically minimalistic,
the production of Imagination keeps listener attention where it needs to be — on
the songs, the voices, the instrumentation.
Much of that can be credited to — of
course — great songs and performances,
but according to George, capable yet
uncomplicated equipment coupled with a
good set of ears helped the project, too.
“The Fostex is really easy to operate
and I didn’t even have to crack the
owner’s manual to figure it out,” George
explains. “It records miked instruments
I didn’t have any studio
monitors. I went to
Target, bought $25
Sony headphones and
monitored through
those.
really well. But you can have millions of
dollars worth of equipment, vintage and
great sounding instruments, and still make
it sound like crap. If anybody is going to
get into this recording thing, the most
valuable thing you can have is a good set
of ears. That’s essential.”

Over 100 Grammy , Dove, and CMA Artists
Trust Their Sound To ADK.
®
“After hearing the TT , I was not surprised that Johnny Matthis and
Gladys Knight as well as Mr. Charles, selected two of the TT Valve
Mics for their vocals. That the TL Decca Tree worked so well on
Ray’s Steinway Grand was a nice bonus! But what surprised us the
most was how many uses we found for the original Model “ S ”. From
Guitars to Drums, Horns to Violas, ADK Mics were everywhere on
the “Genius Loves Company” CD. Most mic companies give you
one or two good mics. With ADK, you get an arsenal!”
–Ter r y Howard, Multiple Grammy® Winner : Ray Charles,
James Taylor, Michael McDonald, Gladys Knight, Barbra
Streisand, Willie Nelson, Duran Duran, Merle Haggard,
Ellis Hall
TT-CE
“I used the ADK TC microphone to record vocals for one of my
artists I usually use a Neumann® U87 or a Telefunken®
251 on. It blew me away. I love the "proximity effect" of this microphone. The body of the sound, the presence in the midrange, the
smooth top end; I couldn't believe it! If this is any indication of the
quality of the rest of the ADK line, you have a serious hit on your
hands!”
LE Vienna
–Bob Rosa, Grammy®-Winning Mixer/Engineer :
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Ednita Nazario,
Paulina Rubio
“The Vienna is an absolutely beautiful sounding microphone! It
has all the warmth of a rare vintage mic, but adds a slight presence boost in the high end that just screams 'expensive'! A producer could have a closet full of ONLY ADK mics, and still be
ready to record ANY session in ANY style! How many mic manufacturers can say that?”

Ron Isley, Bob Dylan, Bur t Bacharach, Young MC,
Chicago, Kellie Coffey
“ADK Commemorative Tube Mics are a Gas! We used them
with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and our Vocals Really
Soared!!”
–Tim Hauser, Vocalist, Manhattan Transfer
TC
“I've now used the ADK Model “ S ” on almost everything including
vocals, guitars, and drums. They remind me of very expensive
German mics I have tracked with before.”
–Adam Kasper, Producer/Engineer, Cat Power,

R
The Oxford Plug-ins have revolutionised the world of
professional mixing. Meticulously designed by the creators
of the Sony OXF-R3 digital console, with only the highest
possible quality in mind, the Oxford Plug-ins are being used
by professionals in lm, post, broadcast and music, to give
their mix the polished sound that it deserves.
Simply. Quality.
Now available with huge savings in the form of the Oxford 6
Pack, there really is no excuse why you can’t also own the
highest quality plug-ins in existence.

“I found the PR-30 and
PR-40 to be two of the most
natural and pleasant
sounding dynamic microphones that I have ever
encountered. I would be
equally impressed even if
they had a price tag two or
three times greater.
-Russ Long,
Pro Audio Review 2005
The PR 40 looks like a
condenser, but is the
first new dynamic
technology in years.
Smooth like a ribbon.
Big like a condenser.
Affordable, reliable
and final assembled
in USA

Stevie Wonder
“Shelter In The Rain”
Single: “Shelter In The Rain”
Album: A Time To Love (Motown)
Date Mixed: August 2005 at Conway Studios in Burbank, California
Single Producer: Stevie Wonder
Single Engineer: Femi Jiya
Mix Engineer: Neal H. Pogue
Mastering: Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Los
Angeles
Other Projects: Pogue has engineered and mixed projects for such
varied artists as OutKast, the Transplants, Citizen Cope, and Earth,
Wind, & Fire.
Single Songwriter: Stevie Wonder
Mixing Console: Solid State Logic 9000 J Series
Recorder: Digidesign Pro Tools|HD
Mix Monitors: Anthony Gallo Acoustics A’Diva Ti, Yamaha NS-10M
Mix Processing: GML 8200 parametric equalizer, Lexicon 480L digital
effects system, Eventide H3000 Harmonizer, SSL J Series equalizer,
Neal H. Pogue’s 2005 five-song agreement
with Stevie Wonder was more than just another
mix gig; for Pogue, it gave birth to his close working relationship with a respected childhood hero.
“He’s a musical pioneer and a legacy,” explains
Pogue. “But he walks in and makes you feel comfortable. He tells jokes, makes you laugh, and is
just a really cool person. Here’s this legend that
I’ve admired since I was a kid and he’s so nice
and so laid back to work with.”
Of the five songs mixed, “Shelter In the Rain”
— an inspirational ballad used as both a single
from A Time To Love as well as a profit-source for
Wonder’s foundation for Hurricane Katrina victims — came together easily, insists Pogue. “That
was the last of the five I mixed,” he recalls. “By
the time I got to the fifth track, Stevie just trusted
me. He didn’t really want me to touch it, which
was really a compliment. His only request that I
recall was that I ‘darken’ the track; I had used a
GML 8200 EQ on the overall track to brighten it
a bit, and he wanted me to pull that back.
Besides that, it was done.”
Pogue mixed “Shelter In The Rain” on an
SSL J Series console — “I’m a big fan of the
J,” he offers — and listened via Anthony Gallo
Acoustics A’Diva
Ti loudspeakers
with incredible
results. “At first
Anthony (Gallo)
was a bit iffy,”
explains Pogue
on their use in
the recording
studio. “He had
made them for
the home. But I Neal Pogue
knew that I had to try them in the studio. They
worked great; they’re warm, transparent, and
you can hear everything.”
Judging from the short list of outboard processing cited by Pogue, “Shelter In The Rain”
required little more than a great console and
great set of monitors. “For Stevie’s voice, I used
a large room (reverb) from the Lexicon 480L
and an Eventide H3000 for a micro-pitch shift
— that always widens the voice a little bit,” he
explains. “That’s about it. I didn’t use much EQ
at all. It was recorded really well and sounded
great alone.”

Pro Audio Review – February 2006
This Little Unit
Can Do BIG Things!
Our new AP-3 is the perfect HD Processor:
SETTING UP FOR HD RADIO?
The Vorsis AP-3 digital processor is
the ideal tool to shape your sound
exactly the way you want it
— cleanly and efficiently.
Built around a multi-band compressor
with complementary AGC, the AP-3
replaces a whole rack of dedicated
units. VORSIS pre-conditions your
signal (HPF, LPF, notch filter, de-esser,
expander), then let’s you apply 3-band
AGC/compression and 4-band parametric EQ (signal chain reversible)
before going through a final stage
zero-overshoot peak limiter.
With real-time spectrum density
readouts and full metering, our
included PC graphic interface
software makes operation of the
AP-3 direct and easy, offering
complete control of all audio
parameters, presets, monitor
functions, system settings
and security— all through
a single RJ-45 ethernet
connection that lets
you control one or
many AP-3 units.
