The Beatles did not even use 8 track tape decks until 1968 (White Album) and that was not at Abbey Roads because Abbey Roads did not have an 8 track until later.
Makes one realize how much even a "cheap home studio" is no excuse for recording good music.

As I watch this my wife is holding her head in her hands as she sees my Beatles geekdom hit a new level lol . Great video. Thanks.

This was absolutely riveting listening.Thanks Claudio and Jerry. For me, it'll be Beatles forever. Because of them, I grew up dreaming that "one day" I too might be in a band and experience the power and magic of music creation and playing live. Well, even though the horse has bolted, my dream is still alive! And always will be, thanks to them.

Great video Dr Mix! One thing people often don't know is that all records in the Beatles era UK had to play on AM radio with around only 5kHz bandwidth. The aim was always to make the tunes sound good when the radio signal couldn't even reproduce a cymbal or hi hat sound. The tunes were always mixed to be clear and audible in the mid range. A by-product of that was they always sounded great when played on also better equipment.

Personal top 3: * Strawberry Fields Forever * I'm the Walrus * Tomorrow Never Knows. Special mention for * A Day in the Life

5 People thumbed this down? I'm guessing they've never heard any recordings by The Beatles then? As for top 3 recordings...

01. Come Together (For Lennon's vocals)
02. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (For George's vocals)
03. Blackbird (For McCartney's vocals)
04. (Honorary Mention!) ~ A Day In The Life, because it featured both John and Paul about equally on vocals, and was incredibly adventurous in terms of recording and mixing techniques for the time.

Geoff Emerick used the C12 in figure 8 and kept it at a distance of 4 to 6 feet from the bass amp on Sgt Pepper. Geoff was always keen to add ambiance to Paul's bass. When he took over as engineer he would try to add some chamber reverb to Paul's bass, but Paul would always tell him to take it off. He finally was able to achieve the added ambience, without offending Paul, by distant micing the amp, as well as having the mic in figure 8 to pick up some extra room tone. And Geoff has refuted that he ever recorded Paul's bass DI. That was possibly done by other engineers during the White Album and Abbey Road.

What a great show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Whether we know it or not, the Beatles influenced everything we do in music, from the writing to the recording.

Am a lifelong Beatles fan...
Some mics I have got and or used to have. AKG C414 XLS, Beyerdynamic M69, Shure sm58 and Shure sm57, I used to have a Neumann U47, dunno what happened to it though. An AKG drum mic kit, and a PZM mic... too many to mention really.
Really interesting interview with Jerry, thanks Claudio... :)

A Lesson in Music History. Thank you. 👍

The mixing console used at Abbey Road during the Beatles' era ended up in Caribou Ranch in Colorado about 10 years later, eventually being donated to the music studio at the University of Colorado - Denver. I had the opportunity to help a friend record on that console about 15 years ago. It was a thrill!

Excellent Episode Bros!!! You can never go wrong with The Beatles writing and recording techniques!!

[dmcgwhisper]

Can't give you 3 favourites. I like them all. A Day in the life...Eleanor Rigby...Strawberry Fields...A Northern Song. Also after the Beatles, 2 songs that give me chills are When We Was Fab and Free As A Bird (especially).

[GeoZero]

Just bought the books after coming across the video. Thanks Doctor!!

[petercastle]

This is a very good surprise, The Beatles who broke the recording techniques boundaries are The Godfathers of Audio exploitation. The technology they got the EMI engineers to create and the rules they broke no one or group comes close.

[ztendxb]

You are the best doctor, I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!

[MRFThorne]

Great video presentation - a fascinating interview. The Beatles career was marked by so much progression - as musicians, artists, songwriters, and of course, this is mirrored in terms of the production techniques through their 8-year recording career.

[ferrovocho]

Very good stuff in this video. I think my top 3 Beatles songs are I'm only sleeping, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, and Blackbird. Oh there are many others hehehe.

[tweguitartutorials]

both of you, that was great. Thanks so much.

[RenatoPernett]

To me, And I Love Her, Yesterday, & Walrus.
