Seriously, so many great, old videos posted there.

One example: The Temptations recording "My Girl". There's Smokey Robinson in the back!

A good trick is to check out what playlists it's part of (the bottom of the right column the page). Endless fun!

Barbara-Ann by the Beach Boys, last chorus (is it the chorus? I just remember the laughter.) I think that track is off Beach Boys Party! , which is a "live" (in-studio, with overdubs) album. So, if it sounded like it mistake, it might've been...or it might've been deliberate. I don't know if it was...

I'm going to bite the bullet and be the first one to admit I've downloaded a lot of music illegally. I used to do it more, but I now have access to a lot of music through legitimate means now, so I do it less. That being said, I will add the caveat that a significant portion what I download illegall...

Sorry to be so tangential, but isn't this weird? I saw it as an ad on their site. Parents' Resource Music Center, yikes...

From a recent patent submitted by Apple: http://static.flickr.com/36/94488372_69474aed86_o.jpg "Another patent in this mix- is a music mixer. This mixer is like the tablet described above - a touch sensitive screen with a virtual mixing panel (see picture at bottom of story). 'An electronic apparatu...

The idea is that the candle will create a vacuum and suck out the gunk.

Of course, it could very easily be damaging to your eardums. I wouldn't mess with it. This study on PubMed isn't impressed with it, nor Health Canada.

It sounds to me more like an issue of artistry than recording. While it sounds like his approach won't leave him with many mixing options, if he knows what he wants and can make it work, it doesn't really matter. I've heard Casio keyboard auto-accompaniment used before on records and you can make it...

my first 4 track experiences were on a yamaha mt120... damn that thing SUCKED... small and neat yes.. sound quality was horrid though.. Really? That's so weird that you say that. I've tracked acoustic guitar and electric bass on it and got some very flattering, usable results. What kind of cassette...

So I was being all mic-envious and looking around, and noticed that Heil Sound has some (new?) large diaphragm dynamics -- the PR-30 and PR-40. Has anyone had any experience with these mics? I wonder if they'd be usable in similar ways as other broadcast fixtures like the SM7B and RE20.

Lots of places both on and off the board which talk about this: http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=14075 http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=14075 http://arts.ucsc.edu/EMS/Music/tech_background/TE-14/teces_14.html You might also want to find Acoustic Techniques for the Home an...

From http://www.digital-recordings.com/publ/pubrec.html#general : The process for digitally coding sound by computer was first developed in 1957 by Max Mathews of Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill (Mathews, 1963). Other advances in digital electronics and microchips led to the development o...

There's a still-active thread called "laptop thoughts" which talks about Powerbooks and iBooks. You might want to try searching for "portable setup" or something to that effect, or "firewire usb" on the board. It's probably safe to say that most people use Apple computers for portable recording, if ...

1. It depends. 2. Maybe. 3. It could. 4. Possibly. 5. Yes. OK, just kidding, but you might want to at least check out other threads that sound similar to yours, and search the board and Google before asking a barrage of questions. I'm sure some of them can be answered by a quick look at either. That...

Actually, now that I think about it, 9.5 IPS doesn't sound right. I think it's centimeters per second, not inches. So more like 3.7 IPS, which is pretty slow, but again, works.

At 9.5 IPS, you can get it to sound surprisingly decent. I think it's probably on the mellower side in terms of bass, but it's there. It works out if you run the bass elements a bit hotter as well.
