Description: Philip Weinrobe is one of New York’s most prominent engineers, whose work has long been associated with attention to detail and respect for analog sound. In his first educational series for MWTM, he returns to the recording of Adrienne Lenker’s “Anything” and makes a live mix-down of one of her songs directly onto ¼-inch tape.
The song was recorded in a secluded cabin in Massachusetts and reflects everything that Lenker is valued for: a subtle sense of form, unusual harmony and a distinctive guitar style. Weinrob shows his own process step by step: from building an arrangement and preparing instruments to choosing microphones and processing chain. He pays special attention to binaural and omnidirectional microphones – tools that allow you to look at the space and intimacy of sound in a new way.
Then he rebuilds the track from scratch on a vintage API console, using outboard devices familiar from classic studio sessions. Working with EQ, compression and manual faders turns into a way to emphasize the emotional tension and nuances of the performance rather than a technique for him.
