For the records I've been doing this with, I've had the artist print the following on either liner notes or back cover: "This compact disc was mastered at a lower volume in order to retain the natural dynamic range of the final mixes, unlike the majority of commercial recordings." Some have taken of...

I agree SpaceEcho...... the thing that really sucks though, is that Dave Fridmann won a Grammy for the new Lips record as "best engineered record", and to me, that will only validate this blatant problem..... I;ve actually already heard people say "Yeah, but Dave Fridmann does it, and he won a Gramm...

Pigtronix is a great company......I like the ADSR. Nice box.

The Hiwatt echo is a sleeper. Great box that not many people talk about...... and who doesn't love the venerable Klempt Echolette!!??

Sorry to diverge, but I think this record is pretty mediocre...... songs and sonics.... I thought the furst record was way overrated, so I'm not a fan.... but I think it sounds awful..... it's like gratuitous "lo-fi"...... just my .02 I just think the "left field " pop thing is overdone, and pretent...

Just got me a HOG, after loving my POG for a couple years....... the HOG is equally cool, and different. The POG does a lot of things well, but the HOG is really a FUCKO machine..... just fuck things up with it. The chord hold thing is interesting, and the filters are great. Haven't used it a ton ye...

My optigan did similar things when I first bought it, but my tech has done limited work on it. He cleaned all the contacts, and put a line level output inplace of the headphone output, and it sounds far better. The line level output to me is the key, because the built in speaker sounds like shit.......

I normally use limiting and compression as effect more than affect...... that being the case, I compress often...... I usually slam ambient mics quite a bit..... lightly limit the overhead(s), and vocals always get some..... bass gets it almost as a rule, as does guitar..... most people say it's unn...

B&Ws are great speakers..... I've been using "audiophile" Audio Note speakers as monitors for a long time, with very good results.... B&Ws really speak well with a larger tube amp, like an Audio Research or Sonic Frontiers...... One thing I don't like is that some of the higher echelon audiophile mo...
