Industry expert Glyn Johns has said that The Who was one of the first bands to ever use and record a synthesizer.

Said during a recent interview, Johns explains the difficulties bands in the 1960s and 1970s had towards working with a click. He also reveals his philosophy towards mic’ng a drum kit.

Over the past sixty years, Glyn Johns has become renowned as one of the most influential music producers of all time, working with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eric Clapton and many more.

Now, speaking with Johnnie Walker as part of the BBC radio show, Sounds Of The 70s last Sunday (August 7), the iconic producer has described The Who as being one of the very first bands to record to a synthesizer – stating that this is what set them apart from other bands at the time.

“It was an astonishing example of the skill of the band and the energy of the band, playing to the rhythm that the synthesizers created,” he insists, reflecting upon his time working with the members on their fifth album, Who’s Next.

“Up until that point of time, very very few people ever used a click for the drummer to play to, so if you listen to some of the records that we made in the ’60s and even in the very early ’70s, they inevitably speed up [as the song progresses]! Very few drummers found it easy to play with a click when it first happened,” he continues. “In the case of Won’t Get Fooled Again, it’s mind-boggling how Keith Moon, who plays like a mad bull in a china shop, managed to stay in time with the synthesizer which was providing this regimented time.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Johns also reflects upon how he achieved his signature way of micing up a drum kit.

A method that would later become known jokingly as the “Glyn Johns drum sound”, the music developer insists that simplicity is key when it comes to achieving desirable drum audio. Stating that too many people overcomplicate their methods in modern-day recordings, he says his approach to capturing the right sound was always “incredibly simple”

“Like anything I do, it was incredibly simple. The sound [of all of the drums that I produced], we got that with three or four microphones, whereas now the tendency is to use a multitude of microphones.”

Swedish boutique developer Lindell Audio has unveiled the LiN76 Vintage Limiting Amplifier, a hardware emulation of the classic Universal Audio 1176 compressor. Promising to accurately channel the sonic character of vintage ’76-style FET compressors, the LiN76 is a lovingly made 19-inch unit— and a relatively affordable one too.

READ MORE: Mojave Audio steps into dynamic territory for the first time with the MA-D cardioid microphone

One distinguishing facet of the LiN76 is its capacity to emulate the infamous All-Button mode; a technique discovered by accident that resulted in an aggressive, now-iconic sound used by engineers throughout the 1970s, achieved by pushing all four of the ratio selection buttons (4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1) in at once.

The product of this was a ratio somewhere between 12:1 and 20:1, with a district shift in bias points and a change in the unit’s attack and release times. The resulting compression curve subsequently created an overdriven tone, as well as a lag on the attack of initial transients, creating a distinct ‘punch’ and a particularly gritty, ‘explosive’ response to signals captured by overhead and room mics, particularly when it came to drums.

Lindell Audio said: “As a resident producer at Bohus Sound Recording in Kungälv, Sweden — itself boasting a long and prestigious history that is intrinsically linked to the Swedish recording industry— namesake Lindell Audio founder Tobias Lindell knows only too well what recording equipment works best, boutique or otherwise.

“It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the most classic and respected sounds of dynamic processors live on in Lindell Audio’s aptly-named LiN76, proudly designed in Sweden to recreate timbres and nuances of ’76-style FET compressors — backed by the Vintage Limiting Amplifier wording boldly blazoned across its no-nonsense front and back panels. Put it this way: with LiN76, it is even possible to replicate the infamous ‘all-button mode’ made famous by British recording engineers throughout the Seventies, reproducing a sound that is still popular today.”

The LiN76 carries the vintage aesthetic of 1970s into 2022 with style, weighing an impressive 8kg and boasting analogue VU metering with calibration screw on the rear panel, as well as pleasingly large silver knobs to control input and output levels as well as attack and release times. Its input and output sockets on the rear pa… Read More
