Bill Inglot (Rhino Records) claims his wonderful sound quality was
attributed to correct tape-head azimuth, but I'm guessing he was one
who
dared a "hot" mix via Sony PCM machines.

No, the EQ is still shouting in my ears "HEAR THIS"

You just don't get this, do you.

He never will, he seems to have a 3kHz dip in either his monitoring or
his hearing. Is he still boasting about his $25 Philips headphones,
which have the best sound in the word?

I have suggested this before, but simply A/B'ing his mix against a
decent
commercial recording should be sufficient to enable him not to be doing
what
he is doing.

But I suspect he thinks most commercial recordings sound dull.

Let me teach you people something. Early 90's, EMI introduced Legendary
Masters series CD of particular artists. I know the series well enough to
know what I was about to [pay] download would need audio work. Guess what,
it didn't, someone else did the audio work [I have the CD, just buried
away]. So, it's not just I who thinks recordings on CD sounded "dull".

Let me teach you something, Jack.

The human ear/brain system is most sensitive to frequencies around 3KHz.
It
is completely non linear, it's frequency response also alters hugely
according to the SPL of the incoming audio.

See that dip around 3K? We don't need that boosted, we hear that better
than anything, in fact it is a REALLY ANNOYING part of the spectral
frequency.
It just sounds "NASTY". I can't put it any better than that, but if you
wanted to make a really nasty annoying noise, you would include a lot of
frequencies around 3KHz.


What you are doing is actually BOOSTING your frequencies around this
REALLY
NASTY frequency, so all your mixes sound acutely annoying.

I suspect this is because you have some auditory impediment that reduces
your perception of such frequencies.
Or you just can't be bothered to A/B your mixes with commercial ones.

On the other hand, it is just as likely you know full well what you are
doing, and are simply a Troll, trying to wind us up.

Gareth, the problem HERE is that NO ONE ever brought up this [3kHz] topic,
even if it sounds harsh or whatever. It was I who mentioned it, because I
hear better than most, listen better than most, and you and others have
learned something new. You are just angry and take your frustrations out on
me. That is all.

Thank you!

Jack






Jack, I apologise for being angry at you, I'm just trying to tell you
something.


Cheers,


Gareth.

Gareth, no harm done. Thank you, sir, for your input; apology accepted.

I was just amazed to discover the reason behind what I heard. Just amazing to me, after many years, that is all.

Cheers,
Jack
