style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Led Zeps "Whole Lotta Love"
is not record groove bleed over, but is called tape print through.
That's where a freshly recorded magnetic impression transfers through
the back side of the tape onto a place it does not belong-one reel
revolution. To alleviate this tapes are to be stored "tails out" which
the recording engineer obviously forgot to do...in 1969. So that has to
be the coolest recording accident of all time.
</SPAN></FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have known many home
listening "audiophiles" in my life, some I would call friends. I was
always amazed at the money that they spent on their home systems that
was at times more than what it would cost to put in a "studio" system.
As a professional musician and a professional sound man, the entire idea
of recording in a studio was to make your guitar or the drums sound like
YOUR guitar, or your drums. When I stood in front of my <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Marshall</st1:place></st1:City> tube amp
cranked up to 11, I wanted that sound on my final product-be it a record
or digital recording. (Pehaps I will discuss guitar tube amps and the
reason for their existence at a later date). I cannot begin to explain
how difficult that task actually is. I will say it is much easier now
days.</SPAN></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Analog recoding studios
really sounded good. 2" wide 24 track tape spinning at 30 inches per
second. That is what it took to keep the tape noise level low and to get
the most accurate reproduction AND each machine and tape brand had to be
calibrated before each recording session to ensure accuracy. Remember,
what you are listening to is what the muscian wants you to hear, so
audiophiles and listeners do not even get a vote yet on sound
quality.</SPAN></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The 2" tape 24 track
"Master"changed my guitar sound a bit. Then that was mixed down to
stereo 1/2 track 1/4" tape format called "Half Track Master". That
change my guitar sound a bit more, but still okay. The Half Track Master
then is sent to a pressing plant to make the actual vinyl record. First
you had to find a pay an expert "Master-er" to get to vinyl. This guy
held you and your recording by the Nards. Why? Because analog vinyl
technolgy was so screwed up. The Half track master that sounded great in
the recording studio had to be Re-equalized by this record master-er to
compensate for his equipment and how he knew it would change your
recording-that you just spent $5000 on. It also had to be compressed
(musically not like MP3-more later) so it would not violate groove and
needle physical capabilities. If the Master-man sucked or did not care,
so did your record. If you were a big time rock star (I was not), then
you could hire Bob Ludwig, and he would make 5-6 wax pressings so the
musician could hear what he changed and choose what they liked best. Me
I had to take what I could get. In reality very few muscians ever
approved of their vinyl recordings because they sounded so different
from what they put down in the studio.</SPAN></FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> Yet old audiophiles
with their Harmonically distorted tube amps and super crappy damping
factors, needles that once again change the sound and wear the grooves
down, changing the sound, and worst of all "colored" speakers tailored
so any fool got a decent balance of bass and highs, claim
superiority-calling this "warmth".</SPAN></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Digital Mixers, with digital
recording and digital media by far produce the truest reproduction of
what the muscian intended. What I discovered when I recorded digital was
that what used to sound "full-warm" was in fact much less accurate. The
"full-warm" sound that was missing was harmonic crap that filled up the
spaces in the mix. What you could then do with digital is add more
musical parts to fill the gaps and you could hear all the detail.
Listen to Led Zep records, then listen to a Led Zep CD which was taken
straight from the Half Track stereo master. One thing that you will
notice right away on CD is how much reverb is present on the CD that you
cannot hear on a vinyl record. I used to think as I bought CDS that the
CD has reverb added on top of the original recording. Not so, it is just
that it is 2X louder because the vinyl cannot reproduce such a subtle
sound.</SPAN></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Digital compression like MP3
.....is DATA compression that is uncompressed before it becomes ear
capable analog. Records "Squashed" compressed music volume for needle
physical reasons, Radio uses "infinite" volume compression-to appear
louder than other stations and to keep from violating broadcast
bandwidth-even worse....but hey, my brother thinks radio sounds
great...he must be an audiophile..... </SPAN></FONT><BR><BR><FONT

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Also...On Monday I am going
back to the recording studio..first time in 12 years. I am making the
studio pull out and dust off their antique 1/2 track analog machine (an
the studio had to calibrate it-as usual). I have about 10-11 songs that
were mastered a on 1/2 track tape and guess what..I and going to burn
some digital copies. My first album was so F-up by the vinyl record
that I look forward to hearing what I actually recorded in
1985......</SPAN></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
