So... The difference is that in once case they just took lyrics, and in this case they take lyrics and "musical ideas"?

I think Irwin Chusid wrote about this kind of thing in Songs in the Key of Z...

I haven't tried it on pick noise yet, but maybe spectral repair could work? Seems to do the trick on string squeaks...

Dear god, FUCK the "rules". Regulate this, enforce that, blah, blah, blah. Read up on and worry only about HOW to build it right rather than what some dickless bureaucrat thinks about it. While I appreciate this sentiment (I lean toward being an anarchist at heart), unfortunately building it correc...

My uneducated wild as a lion in winter guess... You are using a different input in each software. Check your settings in your audio drivers/ control panel. Cheers My guess too. I'll bet one of the recorders is defaulting to the built in computer mic. Bingo. Check your prefs. Also: Try tapping the m...

The biggest obstacle is probably the lack of allies.

I can't overstate that enough.

Definitely possible for two mics of the same model to sound a little different. It's possible for two anything of the same model to sound audibly different, but those differences tend to be the greatest with things that are the hardest to make well: Namely, transducers . (Capsules, diaphragms, speak...

Damn. This is really fantastic. Should help clear up so many common misunderstandings about sample rates, bit depth, and digital audio in general.

A must-watch for anyone who wants to be able to have an intelligent conversation about digital (or analog) sound capture. Go Monty!

I haven't really listened to the song closely...and when I have heard it it was on tv or radio and ultra compressed for broadcast. I'm not a big fan...i cant take the lyrics. just trite pop bs, but the dude has serious pipes and the band sounds solid. I read In Rolling Stone that his drummer is his...

Ah -- a podcast with chapter markers. Smart workaround! I like it.

You can't really take one long MP3 file and insert track markers, no. You can however, take the dozen mp3 files that make up an album and give them specific track numbers. This can be done in iTunes, or with a program like MP3Tag. Here, try this: http://www.sonicscoop.com/2013/02/21/sound-informatio...

all recording is artificial. The fact of recording is artificial. which is fine. It is what it is. Sure! Which brings me back to my original point: It's worth noting that sound can not truly be "captured" -- ever -- whether on wax cylinder or solid state hard drive. Sound exists only as momentary v...

He said he could hear Caruso breathe and the release of the pedals. That speaks to realism. That speaks to compression! : ) Those early acoustic formats were quite compressed by nature. Very limited dynamic range with a very non-linear responses. (In the modern era, hearing those things could also ...

One of the most amazing musical moments i've experianced was when a collector of victrolas played me a caruso disk on one of his wind up machines. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck. i could swear caruso was in the room with me. My ears didnt have to 'squint" at all. i could hear caruso brea...

If you can't tell the difference between a 388 and a 1" machine, you won't notice any improvements using a nicer pre with the 388. Another idea might be to invest in room treatment and better monitors. It's not that I can't tell the difference or hear a difference. I'm saying that, for the aestheti...
