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. <BR><BR>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:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Marshall</st1:City></st1:place> 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> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR><BR>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 l
ow 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> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR>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> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR>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 b
alance of bass and highs, claim superiority-calling this "warmth".</SPAN></FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR><BR>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> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR><BR>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..... <BR><BR>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 r
ecorded in 1985......</SPAN></FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR><BR>Merry Christmas Pattern dudes........ <BR><BR><BR>Gray Fowler<BR>Senior Principal Chemical Engineer<BR>Radomes and Specialty Apertures<BR>Technical Staff Composites Engineering<BR>Raytheon</SPAN></FONT> <o:p></o:p></P>
