Rhodes & Keys,Thunder & Lightning.

Peter Peters a couple weeks ago working it out on my lovely 1979 Mark 1 Rhodes Electric Piano.
I love the sound of this instrument, everyone that gets on it loves it.

Recently I have been running it through the 60's Ampeg jet with a touch of chorus and reverb.

My mic of choice for the Rhodes is a vintage EV RE15 that I won on ebay out of Canada.

Really great tone.


Sundays session was cut short by an electrical storm that came out of nowhere.

Even though I have all kinds of surge protection, nothing really helps against a lightning strike.

However we still got lots done.

Peter brought his ancient Yamaha Keyboard and we ran tracks on 2 songs. The Yamaha actually sounds quite nice going through the DI's of the API3124 mic pre's, nice and phat.

The first song was song #1 that I had spent the morning mixing. Peter was blown away by the mix. He put some finishing touches with the keyboard that I will mix in tonight then that song is done. I should have song #2 mixed by the time he returns on Wednesday evening.
Hmm, I have to return the Prototype Lucas Microphone this week to Compass Point Studios.
Much Thanks to Terry Manning.
