There's actually a simpler, although disgusting reason for this. I learned all of my basic audio skills in high school from two women who had been producers at NBC during the 1930s and '40s. Most of today's radio and television programming was invented by a Chicago woman named Judith Waller who was ...

However you choose!

I gotta call B.S.!

It is only rightfully up to an artist to decide about making their music available for free or not. That's the only morally acceptable position.

... The truth is that we have more ability to crack down on illegal file-sharing than ever before. ... The truth is that we have always had far more ability to crack down on illegal file-looting than people think. (It's time to stop using the consumer tech industry's message framing. We ARE talking...

Buying used CDs is not illegal. At one point, IIRC, the industry was trying to make selling used CDs illegal. Sueing the Warehouse chain, I think. I'm having trouble googling that though so I could be wrong. . What happened was a chain was selling featured display space to artists for several hundr...

...The way to win us (using this term loosely) back is to provide a service that is WORTH it... Exactly! Say what you will, the bar for what's worth buying has absolutely been raised. The same old stuff for less money is not a solution because for all the glamor, there really never was all that muc...

...I don't know. That's just me. No that's the true music fan's experience of an album! I think live DJs and live music performances are what could reinvigorate music as a business. Live broadcasts and amusement park dance pavilions are what built swing. Live DJs playing the biggest selling records...

...When you say this, I think of Apple basically profiting off pirate mp3s by selling hardware to listen to them (I-pod). Is that what you're talking about, though? I'm talking about what the personal computer industry called "convergence" which was to create a market for ever newer, more powerful ...

The industry shot itself in the foot when it let the world go digital without them. The "free" paradigm was well established while the labels were still trying to sell CDs for $16.99 and suing grandmas. ... While that's the narrative spun by the Wall Street investment bankers behind the personal co...

...I'd like to know what was the main reverbs, delays used back then and what do you think are the pieces of gear you would use to process sounds to achieve that classic beautiful sound... The very same gear used to create the classic rock records of the same era. The difference was who was in fron...

...This plug in seems to overdrive a little sooner than the real thing... but that is my memory talking, so take it with a grain of sea salt... Yes it does! It's a good idea to make sure the signal going into the plug isn't too hot. Tube line stages saturate very gradually and clip at higher levels...

FWIW 57s often sound better than 58s on vocals.

We use short booms with well-balanced weights for the mic attached.........have early Cine Colortran parts [img]http://images. My all time favorite is a K&M three-section combined with their two section boom. A bunch of those, two or three full size Atlas booms, a few sand bags for when I wanted to...

Very few great musicians of any type seem to actually have been self-taught. It's popular for publicists to suggest that people are self-taught but after you strip away the hype, I've almost always discovered anonymous music teachers lurking in the background. At the Tape-Op conference I asked Cosim...

Our producers used to put Marvin Gaye at the very top of his range (in his opinion it was beyond) and then punch in his vocals phrase by phrase. I'm sure this was one of the things that drove him to want to produce himself. The echo (reverb) was a mix of live chambers and an EMT plate. The new convo...
