Wait a second. There's not even a debate here: Literally anything that can be done on a computer can be done on tape machines Note the term 'Literally', which means take these words exactly as they are written. I responded to this statement with a list of completely factually correct items. However:...

The first is Moore's Law. How is a studio supposed to be profitable when it has to buy really expensive new hardware every 18 months? When has this not been the case for anyone in the field of audio? Go back to the early 70s when multi-tracks went from 8 to 16 to 24 tracks in a few years. The same ...

Literally anything that can be done on a computer can be done on tape machines What can you do with a computer that you can't with tape? Edit without destroying the media. Undo multiple edits non-destructively. Redo multiple edits non-destructively. Change pitch without changing time. Change time w...

hey I'm also interested in this, but more towards the realm of Stompboxes, any suggestions that way? Anderton's book is all about making stompboxes, but it is also about 20+ years old. It even comes with a flexi-disc with the audio examples for each project, which I thnk might well be the last in p...

We have endured quite a few inept Commanders-in-Chief, and some how managed to not have some great leaders fill the office. I like Zachary Taylor. Any kno...

I saw that the original Doublevision video is now on DVD, which is a nice contradiction between the amazingly gritty, grainy, low-fi source and the crisp digital format. I pretty much agree with placeholder about their career taking a...

the problem, then, is not the tools but the laziness of hte people who make digital recordings. not that there aren't problems with the tools... but really, if you record properly and resolve not to be an edit monkey, there's no reason it should take longer. It is simply the lack of thought about t...

I hesitate to do another analog v digital with Steve (it's been about 7 years since I last did that), but the difference he might be referring to could be the total time spent editing and not the physical activity of making a single edit. The advent of digital editing has ushered in an age of relian...

From the description you have given, it sounds like the problem comes from trying to reconcile the way your band was recorded with the 'usual' method of band recording. The error, if it can be called that, happened before tape even rolled by not recognizing how the choice in recording style would af...

He's had major retrospectives over the past year, and everyone seems to be hailing him as the most influential designer of the last quarter century. Right now, I am attempting to get the CD and cards from his retrospective and also reprints of FAC1 and FAC3.
