twoshedsjackson Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Love it. I love the drum sound Ringo achieved on Abbey Road.That's what really blew me away too! His drums sound fantastic. I guess I'm usually paying attention to everything else.I love hearing all the puzzle pieces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If I recall correctly, Abbey Road was the one record where they really dove into all the things they could achieve with eight-track recording. Some of the White Album was done on eight-track, and I think Let it Be was recorded on that as well, but Abbey Road had some other technical/studio equipment changes that gave it a sound distinct from all other recordings by The Beatles. With regards to Ringo's drums, I think they were able to put more mics on his kit and better capture the various sounds and textures of his cymbals and tom-toms in particular. I just love that "thumpy" "pitter-patter" sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Nice. Thanks.What is it with this music? I wouldn't be interested in this sort of analysis for anyone else. The Beatles music is just in my DNA somehow ever since they became the first band I got into in my teenage years. Lucky choice :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 AN ESSENTIAL DOCUMENT FOR ALL OF YOU.Seriously, nerds: you must have this book.Too bad it's so damn pricey. It's a diary-type account of every single recording session the band ever did. And, honestly, it is a freakin' page-turner. Got it as a gift. Thought that it was just a bargain bin cheapie that my sister found for me, but when I started actually reading it (forced to by my insomniac 2-year-old), I could not wait to get back to it every night. Amazing stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 ^^^ I've had my eye on that for a while. Might have to request it for my birthday or Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Don't buy that one (unless you can get it for next to nothing). It was re-released a few years ago. And it is going to be re-released again this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 AN ESSENTIAL DOCUMENT FOR ALL OF YOU.Seriously, nerds: you must have this book.Too bad it's so damn pricey. I got mine a few years back, it was in the discount book section for $12.99. So they can be found fairly cheap these days if you're lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That is awesome.And... agreed as to how essential it is? Definitely. As a huge Beatles fan and a musician this book was a definite must have. I've toyed with getting this one too: http://www.recordingthebeatles.com/ Anyone read it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Definitely. As a huge Beatles fan and a musician this book was a definite must have. I've toyed with getting this one too: http://www.recordingthebeatles.com/ Anyone read it?I have not read that one but I actually do kinda know Kevin Ryan; at least from back in the day on Garageband.com.He is/was an amazing songwriter and musician whom I am heartbroken that he is not making music any more. Seriously.PM me your email and I will send you one of the few recordings of his that I was able to salvage from the site. Also, as to the book itself, I am just not that big an equipment nerd. It would probably go way over my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jknne Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The book on recording the Beatles is a fun read if you skip around. If you try to read it straight through, it gets boring after awhile because it's almost TOO detailed. And I love reading about equipment and general useless knowledge about musicians. But if you can find it cheap, it's interesting to be able to look up a session or a song and see some of how they did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
