Renting gear for your specific tasks, beds, overdubs, mix, master…
Back in the 80’s and 90’s there was a thriving studio gear rental scene in Toronto. Studios or freelancers could rent almost anything needed for a successful recording session much like the film industry does now.
This being before computers and plugins, analog gear like Neumann U47, U87, U89, Lexicon 480L, AMS RMX16 (reverb) and AMS DMX 15-80 (delay), Eventide H3000, Focusrite ISA 110 or 215 pre/eq modules or the Neve 1073 pre/eq were popular rentals
Not too many people know that LM PRO is very cost effective when it comes to renting specialty items for a session, a gig or a live remote quartet recording.
