| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Hey I just saw that HDTracks (David Cheske's label) has the Beach Boys HI Rez "Sounds of Summer" with a bunch of extra tracks. He has all their hits AND multiple tracks from my favorte BB out of print "Surf's Up" 88.2K/24 Bit. This looks like a... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Ken Kriesel of M+K, another good one. I also thought of Sarah Jaroscz: been nominated for Grammies for Americana several times. The engineer she uses is amazing, Gary Pacosza. He's does amazing work. | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Im sort of shocked no one has mentioned three companies who specialized in this and achieved some commerical success: Telarc and the modern ioteraction of Telarc: Five Four Productions. This was Michael Bishop (chief engineer) who won more grammie... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? In regards to Epstien, yes he was not an engineer- that was Emerick (and a talented one at that). But I think you are missing the "vibe" on an english studio of the early to mid 60s. The engineer was a technician in a lab coat, saying what they co... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? What an interesting thread. Amazing how different people's perspectives are. Funny enough, I was never interested in Pet Sounds when it came out, I was in love with the Beatles. I was young so there was a bit "are you a Beach Boys or Beatles Fa... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno That monitor in the video is pro version of the SCM40V2 for home. The key in pro is it must be small and portable. The 40 is in many ways BETTER than the pro version, the 40 has the new ATC tweeter and has a sealed low end cabinets so they go l... | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please I think the issue with subs is its far more complex than it appears: 1) SOURCE MATERIAL has varying bass levels. The deep bass in source material is all over the place, and its not your fault. It's not consistent at all and we find a large varia... | |
| Question about speaker angle Good post twoleftears! Is that a Yorkshire related coat of arms I see? Brad | |
| ATC SCM 50A active towers review I am so happy you are digging your ATC's. You are in good stead with some of the best artists in the world who swear by them! Brad | |
| Question about speaker angle All these brand related suggestions are meaningless. Each speaker (sometimes within a common brand) has a unique dispersion angle in the horizontal plane. This is what you are addressing with toe in. You need to know what that is, both by reading... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) Next step is first reflection absorbers-this will improve imaging quite a bit. Get the 4 inch deep panels if you can. Just get two and start with that. I forgot to ask about stands -very important. High mass ones work best. Brad | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and ryder I'm convinced this "don't sound good at low level" is a some myth started by someone who doesn't understand what they are doing. This myth is in direct opposition to what the entire professional community already know about ATC: its sounds... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole BTW, I reread the teo_audio post, wow what a great read. I would have never expected to read something like that here. I found it very insightful in bringing the two worlds (the scientific world and spiritual world) into a complete thought. Many ... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and digsmithd: wise words. I go in and out of major recording studios and also stores with speaker displays; set up is a HUGE issue that affects everyone everywhere. The biggest surprise to me is how people do not experiment with different speaker pla... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) That sticky stuff on some drivers is a dampening material, like a tar if you will, that is used to improve the driver response. It is tacky on purpose, as you sort of paint it on the cone. You cannot clean it- dust is a problem-but fortunately d... |
