Photo: Tree Audio custom 16-channel console and stand built for recording industry legends Richie Podolor and Bill Cooper. Combined, these men have sold a gazillion hit records. Richie Podolor - Record Producer (Steppenwolf, Three Dog Night, Iron Butterfly, Alice Cooper, etc.,). Bill Cooper - Recording Engineer (Three Dog Night, Iron Butterfly, John Mayall, etc.,) About this custom console, written by Tree Audio co-designer/owner, Ian Gardiner: All of the electronics were designed by my partner Steve Firlotte. After Bill and Richie decided to sell American Recording and their Trident A range, they commissioned us to build a console for them. It started out as 16 channel standard Generation I Roots console, but turned into a much larger project. From left to right - Full TRS patchbay. Jared Stansill of Pro Audio LA designed and wired up the patchbay. Next is the 16 channel Gen I Roots console in Altec green. In the upper left meter bridge is an 8 channel monitor section that dumps into the stereo buss. To the right of the main console is a 16 channel 500 series console that holds 2 - 500 series modules in each channel; this also dumps into the stereo buss. Along with the 16 channel Gen I and the 8 channel monitor and 16 channels of 500 series there is a total of 40 channels on mixdown. Above the 500 series console are 8 channels of Langevin passive eqs that used to live in Bill and Richie’s original console and were used on all of their records. My partner at Tree Audio, Steve Firlotte, designed the gain makeup for the eqs (seen to the right of the eqs). Right above the producers desk from top to bottom are two Inward Connection’s phase correction modules, as well as a mix 690, and below that, a rack of 500 series mic pres. Took over a year to design and build and turned out amazing. #RecordingLegends #TreeAudio #AnalogRecording #Tube https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyE-C5BOzq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=teylnsc8y58o
