| In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP In the air tonight done only with the human voice. | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock This is all without any (yes I mean ZERO) instruments and was recorded on a Paris Subway. Naturaly 7. Somebody asked about Phil Collins drums on this song in another thread - well here you can hear drums but it is done all by voice!!! | |
| best rock voices Surely you do not mean album sales?Yep Queen has the record for highest album sales in UK history beating Sgt Pepper. DSOTM, Thriller, OASIS and many others. | |
| Movies in the 70's & 80's was it stereo or mono? It would depend on the movie and theatre. Surround sound started in a big way around the mid 70's with Star Wars using two optical tracks (Dolby Stereo system). Some films were done in stereo prior to that using magnetic tape but this made the fil... | |
| center speaker need help asap I'd suggest going phantom center until you can find a proper matching center (this is because matching tonality is so important with voices). I have ATC 100's and I don't really miss a center channel at all because we are usually only 2 or 3 to wa... | |
| My system is getting worse - now what? Stonedeaf,Your advice is right on. The whispy sound is sometimes sounding as if air was leaking out of the speaker. Another trick I use is to touch the woofer rubber surround very lightly while playing music softly - normally the sound does not ch... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? i don't think philosophy has anything to do with the subject. i detect a tad of obsessiveness with the words "frightening" and "relaxing". You are right, I guess I meant semantics and not philosophy. Nevermind, it just struck me, based on your ma... | |
| Blue Ray Concert discs Robbie Williams Live At The Royal Albert Hall is a must have. It is standard Ratpack "swing" stuff but executed superbly and the sound is awesome. | |
| Active Speaker Question I have active speakers plugged into a conditioner as a precaution but I heard absolutely no difference. Make sure you use a conditioner designed for power amplifiers (high current) | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Mr Tennis tends to asks many philosophical questions of deep meaning. | |
| Fireplace and room acoustic My virtual system has an RPG fireplace which doubles as an acoustic treatment. | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier But the "waveguide" designs in the Genelec monitors bear very little resemblence to a true constant-directivity spherical or bi-radial "waveguide" horn, in both the theory and the way they behave. Good Discussion. Yes but....horns are different i... | |
| Blue Ray Concert discs The beck BD is great. Here is Imogen Heap with her song Blanket | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier The result according to Duke is that sound pressure levels up to 112 dB are reproduced with less than 1 dB of power compression. Although this thread seem to be digressing there have been many excellent comments.Duke's claims are extrodinarily go... | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier It seems to me that the best-sounding speakers are the ones that pay give proper attention to power response, which is indeed rare.Dr. Floyd Toole devotes quite a lot of time to this important aspect in his new book: Sound Reproduction: The Acous... |
