"The Death of High Fidelity"


Just received the new issue of Rolling Stone in the mail today. It has an interesting article: "The Death of High Fidelity." It deals with dynamic sound compression, reducing "the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in a song". Various sound engineers and producers weigh in on the subject. It's worth picking up a copy.

It is also that Pop artists use to record in large professional studios. Now that digital equipment is cheap and does not take up a lot of space, a lot of them have their own studios at home. I wonder if the same care is taken by whoever monitors the equipment in these home studios? Evidently not a lot. I also wonder about the acoustics in some of them?

A good friend has a nephew who is a producer in Nashville with quite a few production Grammy's. While he does have his own studio in Nashville, He also does make "house calls".
