Show Us Your Junk! Ep. 10 - John Vanderslice (Tiny Telephone Recording) | EarthQuaker Devices
Музыка
“I’m a sick person,” confesses John Vanderslice.
He’s not wrong.
Vanderslice suffers from a terminal case of G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and it’s spreading. One recording studio became two, and then two became three as Vanderslice continues to salvage and rehabilitate only the finest pieces of vintage analog recording equipment for his Tiny Telephone recording empire.

I love this dude. He actually responded to my email with advice for handheld recording devices to purchase. That meant so much to me. 😍Thanks J.V.

@@stagnatic yeah I'm curious too!
Holy cow, I could've probably watched another three hours of this. The space has just such an inviting feel, even through the computer screen haha.
probs my fav studio out of this whole series
I recorded here once. I definitely remember a giant (empty) jar of weed in the break room.
I love the confidence he has in his work and his studio. He intuitively knows what works and what sounds best and only a hell of a lot of years experience brings that.
An analog music wonderland.

This is definitely the spot. More studio owners like this please.
"that things fucking baller" god I love john vanderslice. Def one of the more underrated musicians of the last few decades.
Boldness and violence in recording. ABSOLUTELY. YES ❤️

Ironic because Dana Carey is from the bay area and based garth loosely off his older brother
Never really thought about how annoying recording on a DAW is, all I wanna do now is record on tape. Also Earthquaker, these videos are brilliant!❤

we recently made the switch to all analog & once you get away from the distraction of a screen & fucking with a mouse you can really focus in on whats going on with the band, at least that my very humble honest opinion to be taken with a grain of salt. Cheers from SATX!
Being a Bay Area guy, I’ve always wanted to record there. John’s episode of the Working Class Audio podcast is a classic.
Vanderslice is incredible and Sorensen has worked on so many of my favorite indie records of the past 10 years, great vid
Interesting comparison between tape and digital, and spot on. Digital being visual, involves the eyes, which triggers the brain thru an additional path, affecting much of the imaginary properties. Long live Analog!

You guys are awesome ! Keep doing that ! :)
I'm, by no means, affiliated with Softube, but I was watching this today, and if you're like me and can't afford to use tape, much of the stuff he's talking about losing when you move to a computer as the recording-medium can be somewhat addressed with the Console1.
HAL 9000 marvels analog Recording🤖
LOVE the facility, DIG the kitchen!!!!! it sure would be nice to record there!!!!, i feel almost criminal with my home PT8LE rig...... :( John is a VERY nice guy...... he has had a couple of rough spots in the road the past couple of years, but he is strong and focused..... i hope yall have a wonderful future ahead !!!! i sure enjoy these Show Me Your Junk tours!!!!
I want to live here !!! great gear but more importantly great creative beings
I like that rug under the double bass. Really ties the room together! ;)
Vanderslice is the man!!! PLEASE DO DAVE FRIDMANN TARBOX ROAD!

Holy *&^% what a great studio!
I recorded my album at Tiny Telephone. :) A very cool place indeed.
Great episode of a cool studio- free tape?!? Long live tape!
Fond memories of failing to make a record at TT (my fault, of course). Great space and great people. I wonder if the toilet is still shared with the mechanics next door? Interesting that Vanderslice, who I could listen to all week, holds the purity of the analogue signal path so dear, but is cool about guitar (and various other things, judging by the awesome TT aesthetic) passing through pedals with pretty lo-fi digital components.
I actually recorded here in 2006! It was a really special experience. It's fun to see all the upgrades and improvements that have happened since then

thanks for watching, Leo! I've got serious gear envy over here. I need a few Ampex 351 pres and that Neotek console in my life. Oh, and a few Josephson mics, and probably that tympani drum, and a couple dozen synthesizers...
I think a youtube video of John playing acoutic version of his song white dove, randomly in my feed...introduced me to John 9 years ago or so.

Saw him play at Chronic Town back in 08, great intimate show.
Audiophile mindset.. And he is right about tape vs digital recording such as protools and how it affects many when they record.

hmm,.. didn't see much "junk" there
I have lots of walkmans, 4 track tape recorders, reel to reels, tape loops, and weird misc broken shit. Come over, I'll show you my junk!
awesome
Man I have never heard of this dude but I tell you I want to record there
Holy freaken snikeez!!! Free coffee! Hell to the yeah! Is the weed not a distraction? All the albums come out sounding very paranoid and food-centric.

I get most of what Dana Carvey says here, but to say that protools "sounds bad" is very odd to me. A lot of people said the same thing about early digital gear and now it's highly sought after if you know its strengths and know in what context to use it. Same goes for the tape vs protools debate.
Let me record their now!!!!!
Timpani and concert drum!? That's awesome. I had a stupid budget on an indie record one time and nobody in Jacksonville would rent us any. Obviously it's Jacksonville.
I'm not 100% convinced this isn't Dana Carvey under a pseudonym.
Wow, this place is amazing! It would be my dream to record here. How much for a 4 song demo hahaha

@earthquaker devices what is the song that starts at 8:50?? Super good!

I agree with John V. on the good old recording boldness and violence, and the fact that protools can turn you into this anal, ocd sound geek, but I think one ought to (and can be) pretty wild using software that allows you to be punk - that is, just record shit at home! Who owns these kind of reel to reel heavy duty machinery anyway? Other than that, hell yeah, go classic!

Yeah all these guys say it is so punk to record to tape. Would love to record in a studio like that but probably not in the cards. Recording into pro tools in your basement is as punk as it gets.
