Sometimes I return less than 100%.  Overdriving the plate can be an interesting effect.  But it's a specialty effect only.  In the whatever works category.

Musically might not be your cup of tea, but Allen Sides used plate almost exclusively (and they were the old United and Western plates) for all that he mixed during my work with him in the '90s.Eric Rudd

Don't forget the API 550A and the 90ms predelay!

Ha ha!!! Yep....I was actually thinking about that very thing on the drive in this morning!!! It's a beautiful morning in Chicago today....you'd think I'd be enjoying it more instead of "thinking shop."

For those interested, years ago Allen procurred a bunch of Ampex DDL's to use as predelay for the plates. They were originally used for the preview head on a cutting lathe. If I remember correctly they were 50kHz sampling rate? Two channel (obviously) and adjustable only in increments of tenths of seconds. Oh, and they're about the size of a large microwave oven.

+4/12.5k shelf on the API, 90ms on the delay.

Ahhhh, the crapload of information we carry with us through life.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This is the second funniest thing I've heard all day. Which is amazing considering that it's not even 10:30 here.

Thank you.
