Retro Recordings XR

Patch the bay. Thread the tape. Push the faders. The golden age of recording studios, rebuilt in VR with Unreal Engine.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Studer 900 Series.

Swiss engineering built for one purpose: absolute transparency. The BBC's orchestral desk of choice through the 1980s and '90s.

The Sinai coast in February 2013, then one saturated day on the Nile at Luxor ten years later: Karnak, the ram-headed sphinxes, a felucca under full orange sail. Sound on.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Midas PR System.

Britannia Row ran 106 channels of Midas to mix Pink Floyd's The Wall tour on this modular system.

The recording studio, in five eras: label-owned rooms, tape-era independents, multitrack, automation, artist-owned compounds. 42 studios in the archive, grouped by era.

No headset required.

Retro Recordings XR now also runs on a flat screen: mouse and keyboard, or a controller on the couch. Walk up to the desk, step into focus, turn a knob. VR stays as it is.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Euphonix CS II.

Digitally controlled knobs and faders, fully analog signal path — total recall at a fraction of an SSL. Used at Record Plant LA and across Nashville.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Soundtracs Jade.

Soundtracs' flagship analog desk — the one Leftfield mixed Leftism on, one of the defining electronic albums of the 1990s.

@cyannick @Biggsism Will it add proper handtracking as well?

[Past nor Present @pastnorpresent]

A dragon painted on a wall in Bogotá, and a man went past at speed just as I raised the camera — red shirt, flowers in his mouth matching the graffiti behind him. One frame, flash, gone.

Three weeks across Colombia, Andes to Caribbean.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Auditronics "Son of 36 Grand".

Built in Memphis by a former WWII radar technician. Named after the price of the desks before it. It ended up at Stax and Ardent.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: AMEK 9098i.

Rupert Neve no longer owned the company with his name on it, so he designed this one for AMEK in Manchester. The last great analogue desk, arriving just as the industry went digital.

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Quad Eight Model 2082.

In the early 1970s this was America's most widely used console brand — Motown's LA rooms, A&M, Capitol, the Record Plant. Almost nobody remembers the name.

I just open sourced my threejs prototypes I have been working on for the past month

- Poseidon (FFT ocean simulation)
- Gaia (procedural grass generation)
- Dryad (procedural tree generation)
- Tiamat (particle based fluid dynamics)
- Demiurge (tectonic based procedural planet generation)

New devlog: how do you make a virtual mic behave like a real one — bleed, nearby speakers, maybe feedback? No raytracing. The honest version, built vs still just an idea.
