The card for your repro head sounds like it's dead too, so it needs a lot of repair. Maybe nothing major. Recap...

He he he...Husker Du as produced by Albert Camus. But in all seriousness, I've gotten that response, to which I'll say something like, "Eh, it [the track in question] is just sort of there . What do you think it should sound like?". Whenever possible, I'll try to get them to point to specific examp...

http://www.tapeop.com/blog/2012/06/15/what-are-words/ :lol: Please, let's not discuss "the brown sound" (what, in light of the possible use of a "sound gun" here in Chi during the NATO conference was a fearful and present threat indeed.)

demystifying (or further convoluting) the silly words we use
I'll start with some classics: "warm" - rolled-off high end, slightly accentuated midrange. term usually applied to ribbons, tubes, tape, and band-limited older gear.

My question, however, is what I can do with the space between the couch and the rear wall (directly behind mix positio...
