Bloody hell. I haven't been able to commit the entirety of RTB to memory yet, I guess. I was wrong about monitoring in "stereo mono":
"Because stereo was behind in England," recalls Geoff Emerick, "...we just monitored from one speaker..."
Oh well. Thanks for the input, everyone!

The problem I've always had with the stereo mixes was the backing instrumental track was hard panned to the left channel and was too weak. Just messing around a few years ago, I tried a 'fix' for this ... Don't let that heresy get out. Representatives of the One True Church of Beatlefandom will sho...

Apologies in advance if this or something similar shows up twice--something's screwy with either the network or me... If you intend on listening to the mono versions, you should listen through one speaker only. Two speakers playing mono, or as I call it "acoustic summing", is not at all the same thi...

As far as which pricey box set to buy, I fall squarely in the "as meant to be heard" camp, if I can't make the stereo do double duty. Believe me, if I could talk my four-month-old into taking care of herself for a month, I'd use the daycare fund and buy both sets. Maybe I have tin ears, but the diff...

Thanks for that--I sort of assumed that with all the "who cares about stereo" remarks from Martin et al that mixing them for stereo was just a panning thing ("Uh, lessee here, not a lot of options...the hell with it, it's just gonna have to be vocals hard right and everything else hard left. Next!")...

Beatles, stereo & mono
Forgive a dumb question, but Larry's glowing review of the stereo vinyl box got me wondering. As much as I want to own both the stereo and mono vinyl sets, I am not in the tax bracket to make it happen. Assuming I have my rig hooked up correctly, if I were to purchase the stereo set, would hitting t...

Neatness and order.
I'm sort of OCD about my room being as neat and tidy as it can be. Really OCD, actually--I just can't work (or think) in chaos. My chaos threshold is pretty low, too. Just wondering what any fellow neat-freaks like to do to maintain order in what can get to be a messy environment. I'm just trolling ...

38%, 47%, whatever it takes...
I know this has been done to death, so I'll try to keep it brief. The details: My room is 27'L x 20'Wx 8'H. The four floor-to-ceiling corners each have (2) 4"x 24"x 48" 703 traps, I have six more of those traps around the room in ceiling/wall corners, and 8 or so 2" x 24" x 48" 703 hi-mid absorbers ...

That wasn't a lot of info, was it? Talk about thinking you could read my mind.... Anyway, just throwing out a suggestion for an article or interview with David Mead. Great singer/songwriter out of Nashville. Makes great pop records wrapped with consistently wonderful production and has made 'em with...

David Mead, maybe?
I know it's been two years since he released Dudes, but he writes such consistently great songs and makes wonderful-sounding records. Might be interesting to hear about going from '90's records with RCA money to making Dudes with Ethan Eubanks--I think-- and a kickstarter fund.

Apologies!
Shit. I did not do my homework--didn't mean for that bored-at-work ramble to be of any interest to anyone other than if stumbling across it. Sorry if I clogged any in-boxes with notifications. I love BB King, though.

I think those are the kinds I should develop ninja abilities with--I don't have high track counts necessarily, but still, mousing around to, say, set up a cue mix--putting a send on every track individually slows stuff down for no good reason. The option key gets me in trouble from time-to-time in t...
