Engineer Richard Chycki records the latest Rush CD Snakes and Arrows

Recording engineer Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Mick Jagger, Rush, P. Diddy, Pink, Seal, Shawn Colvin) gives us a look at how he recorded Alex Lifeson’s guitar tracks on the latest Rush record Snakes and Arrows. “The R-121 has been a staple for my electric guitar miking since I learned of Royers years ago working with Aerosmith (and Joe Perry knows guitar!!). I’ve used them on pretty well every electric guitar session since!”
Richard Chycki.
