    Fairchild Recording Equipment 670 Compressor Telefunken CEO Toni Fishman made waves at last year’s AES convention when he announced the formation of Fairchild Recording Equipment, LLC and the launch of its first product, a reissue of the legendary Fairchild 670 tube compressor.  With its lightning-fast attack and variable release settings, simple but versatile controls, and flattering tonal character, the Fairchild 670 has been a staple of high-end studios for decades. The venerable 670 and its sibling, the Fairchild 660, have inspired modern clones like the UnFairchild, HERCHILD, and Mercury 666 as well as plugin emulations from Universal Audio, Waves, and others, but never before has the unit seen a licensed reissue.  Continue reading →

    Five Sounds With Aaron Dessner
    Aaron Dessner of The National sitting down and playing an acoustic guitar in a recording studio. Multiple Grammy Award-winner Aaron Dessner wears many hats in the studio—guitarist, keyboardist, bass player, composer, songwriter, and producer. He moves through each role with ease, and it’s no surprise because he’s spent the better part of the last two decades becoming one of the most prolific artists in contemporary music. He’s released ten studio albums with his band The National and collaborated with artists like Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Icelandic performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson, and, most recently, Brian Eno & Fred Again. If that wasn’t enough, he co-wrote and produced two history-making records during the pandemic with superstar Taylor Swift.  Continue reading →
