<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Speaking of the Strat, a long ago boyfriend
of my Daughter's left a 60's vintage Strat at my house for a few months
(this was back in the 70's) and every now and again I would pull it out
and play it and after a while I discovered that I didn't like the action.
Never could figure out what all the raves were about. I had a Birdland and
wasn't all that cranked up over that either, but it was valuable. I traded
it for a second hand Fender Rhodes keyboard which I ended up giving away.
Lost a bundle on that fiasco.Speaking of Classicals and Electrics I
currently own 2 electrified cutaway Classicals (I love the Cordoba) and I
dont play classical, I play Jazzzzz !!!! Yeahhh !! "20's to 80's
Standards. The stuff you guys are talking about AIN'T music. It's some
kind of unregulated noise (now you know how old I am ). Even the
lyrics don't rhyme. Where's the artistry in that??? [ <EM>That ought

I have recorded about 25 original songs and the interesting thing
is that my recording time frame spans the cross over of analog to
digital, that is 1985 to about 1995.</SPAN></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">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=sans-serif
size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">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 Marshall 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=sans-serif size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">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=sans-serif size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">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=sans-serif
size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif"> 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=sans-serif size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">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=sans-serif
size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif">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 face=sans-serif

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>
