Haha I feel like I can’t say this without coming off as a twat, yet at the same time I think it’s worth noting both that Kramer is South African and that there’s no one British accent as such, or rather, they’re infamous for their many regional accents. I’ve read somewhere that the U.K has the highest number of accents per square mile in the world, or something along those lines, but that sounds absurd and hard to quantify.
@@artonion420 No that makes sense, I mean we (assuming you live in the US) have many regional dialects. Some of which are scantly documented. The UK is much older, therefore they’ve had a long time to examine and understand each and every dialect. So I get what you’re saying.
Toni Fisher, "The Big Hurt", 1961 or so...featured the first attempt at phasing. At times, she sounded as if she was about to drown in an intense rainstorm...but it was a huge hit for her.
@@Paul-D-Hoff 4 or 8 tracks to create MAGIC that LASTS for decades. How many tracks do we get now? How many effects do we have at our fingertips ..... blah blah blah ..... Don't be so butt hurt man lol. NOTHING in my statement says 'there isn't anything going on today'. There's still lots of great music being made. And not all of it is homogenized in regards to its sound. Go check out CINDY LEE's new release "DIAMOND JUBILEE" ... A great album with its own sonic footprint. ymmv.
@@Paul-D-Hoff To be fair... if you're engineering (esp for a 'bigger' band), it's not very often that they're gonna allow the engineer to go hog-wild.. so far hog-wild, in fact, that that engineer becomes, for all intents and purposes, a new member of the band. THAT used to happen more often... Not that they were more talented than their current day counterparts, just that they were given permission and million-dollar toys to do it with.
It's the "whooshing" sound that you hear on the outro guitar solo from Jimi's song "Bold as Love". Immediately after the first guitar solo, you can hear the effect on Mitch Mitchell's drum roll, then on Jimi's lead guitar, and on a piano part that is layered underneath. Basically, the recording engineer would play back a recorded sound on two tape machines at once, while physically sticking their hand on the flange of the tape reel to slow it down. The combination of the original sound and this slightly-delayed signal cancels out certain frequencies and generates the dramatic whooshing effect. In the 1970s, guitar pedals were introduced that could create the effect using delay circuitry, but in 1967, Kramer was doing it by the original "manual" method. The Beatles used this effect, and it was also used on the Small Faces song "Itchykoo Park". Kramer and Hendrix were first though, in using it on a stereo recording.
Why does the elderly gentleman not mention the engineer by name? (ie. "one of the guys we were working with"..) Forgetful or actually been taking credit, for the last 50 years, for something he did not do?
I think that you took this literally. Eddie was implying that Sir George wasn't letting on how he found out how to achieve the 'secret' by his suggestion of reading an obscure or as you pointed out, non existent book.
@@derosabikehate to disappoint you, but I would not call BBC Engineering Publications "obscure books". Besides, the specific info can be found in the BBC's Engineering Division Monograph nr. 51 from November 1963
Kramer recalls an anecdote from 50 years ago. It wasn't a "Radiophonic Workshop book", it was a publication on "Radiophonics" in a BCC Engineering journal. However Martin intended it, this couldn't have been very useful to Kramer. But it's interesting that A. it's an actual paper I just found online, and B. Martin was able to reference this 5 year old technical paper off the cuff.
The brilliant Eddie Kramer sharing priceless knowledge, thank you!
The master that we’d all love to watch explain his craft, really excited to watch this and take notes 🧡
Yes! Can’t wait
This guy sounds cool I gotta check out his work.
Now THIS is what I call "a Master"!
🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did a British guy make a slightly more British accent to mimic Sir George Martin lol

Yep - Eddie is SACS Old Boy.

They created masterpieces
The days when engineers were TRULY, ADVENTURERS !! Exciting times !!
OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! As if there isn't anything going on today.

"i want that shit on everything" 😂😂😂 #amazing
Met him once at Berklee in Boston. He seemed like a very nice guy.
And we’re all… bold as love…
Bald as love 😅
Just ask the axis
eddie kramer is my kind of guy.
WHERE would guitar Pedals Be NOW, weren't it NOT for HENDRIX??
fantastic
"Take '69" by Ricardo MadGello on BandCamp
I would love to hear the struggles in mixing the electric lady land album?
Man, Jimi sure looks different these days.
Come again?
the best phasing Ive heard was tom lord alge on Sums 41 - fat lip
could someone explain to me what phasing is

How old are you?
The BBC Radiophonic Workshop was formed in March 1958, so it's most unlikely that George Martin referred to a book from 1949 😊

@@ghostexits was just kidding, thought the pomposity of my comments gave it away; I'm not a technician or so, just a fan of the subject✌️🙃
People go on about how there is processing going on today, as if they never did what they could do before to the sound in the GOOD OLD DAYS.
people ,eh!
