This is one impressive title.
Chico Freeman – Spirit Sensitive
The recording is about as 3D as you can imagine.
Tape Machines: An Ampex 440, 8-track, operating at 15 ips, was the mastering deck, and an Ampex ATR 102, operating at 30 ips, was the mixdown deck.
Microphones: An Electrovoice RE 20 was used for the sax (it captures the robust sound of the instrument and Chico liked it) and assorted AKG condenser and Beyer ribbon mice were used for the other instruments.
Mastered at The Mastering Lab with Tube Electronics by Gavin Lurssen and Ron Lewter
