Well, if you think all cds sound bad, then their reputation as classical music monitors isn't a plus! I listened to the first mvmt of the Koncertstucke and I think the re-eq is sincere. The solo horns probably sound more like what it's like to be near real horns (really near!) than the raw tape, but at the cost of integrity in a recording that didn't have much to spare. Losing the high end to eliminate tape hiss is a nose-spite-face deal. How does it help harmonic balance to eliminate those higher partials? I only eliminated the partials that were boosted by the guy who mastered the 3 3/4 open reel Well, the shoe's on the other foot now. How do *you* know what the source material really was? Stephen Because I know what instruments sound like BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Obviously not! and the capabilities of mics and tape decks. You haven't got a clue. That mp.3 destroyed you for good. If record companies presented flat recordings there would be a revolt. Not many people use obsolete equipment like yours anymore. Have you checked whether there's any foam left in your driver surrounds? It probably rotted away 10 years ago and that would explain your horrible "mix". Look at thre **** I am gettting. BAAAHHH! Poor little baby. Comes here looking for support but decides to disguise it as "need opinions please" hoping that the link to his website will convince everyone of his status as a major player in the biz and consequently give an automatic heads up. Too bad houses built of hair don't hold up in the wind. That other guy was right on the money. You're an incompetent charlatan with substandard equipment. It is unfortunate that by coincidence my mp3s of the week featured poor sources. It is not coincidence, you dunce. You "re-engineered" it. You claimed it was something "better" when in fact it is laughably bad compared to anything besides SW radio. You are clearly incompetent and people recognize it. If I was that boss of yours, I'd kick the crap outta you for unveiling the company skeletons that have resided in the closet since the get-go. Surely your bosses little mouthpiece operation needs a better mouthpiece than you. Believe me, whatever "Music" was on that open reel, I found it. I agree. You found it and ****ed it up. I think that your entire mouthpiece operation must be what people call "snakeoil" and "flooby dust" in these circles. Cheers, Margaret |

As a designer of the highest quality of sax mouthpieces I'd really like to try your mouthpieces, but I can't affor them. My setup is a Yamaha YTS-62, a Brillhart Ebolin (the size escapes me right now) for concert band and a Berg Larsen 100-2 stainless steel for jazz. VanDoren reeds. For jazz I like flexiblity and mellowness, ala Ben Webster. it appals me that CDs are eqd so badly. So much so that Digital is given the bad rap and not the incompetent mastering engineers . These engineers have been listening to recorded music for so long they haven't a clue as to what instruments realy sound like. Yeah, it's the producers too. The media and the hardware are not the problem. I am not sure whether CDs sound the way they do to please the masses or because of incompetence. With statements like the above I lean toward incompetence. How else could Bill Inglot become tops in his field His R n R stuff is abominable but did you hear his Jazz for Atlantic. Giant Steps of mids and highs. Not Trane Opinions please I think it's producers who care more about the bottom line than music. They go for shock value, first impressions. These days they're under pressure, with falling sales due to file sharing, etc. TB |

I do live recording of acoustic instruments and voices just about every weekend. What label do your recordings appear on Arny? They're on LatrineT Records. You can find them everywhere you'd never think to look. Nothing like a little class envy to start the day, eh Carl? Arny's got one of those cushiony soft toilet seats we all wish we could afford. I have no idea what you mean by class envy arny but how about answering my question. Have you actually recorded anything that has been released that I can listen to? Or do you mean amateur? It's not an insult. Carl |

"ansermetniac" wrote in message ... Opinions please Jeffrey "Abbedd" Powell Chief Engineer/Acoustician Dave Guardala Mouthpieces, Inc. Below is a direct downloadable link to a MP3 music file I created this file from a 3.75 ips commercial recording similar to what Abbedd says he did It is Columbia DT 779 - Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia - Trumpet Voluntary 4Track/2Channel 3.75 Equipment is a AKAI 747, Extigy Soundcard, Sony DTC-700 DAT used to digitize, Burwen Research DNF1200A used to reduce tape hiss. MP3 is 192 written with Sony Sound Forge 7.0b No effects were used after the fact. This is the best I could do from the tape It demonstartes how bad open reel mass produced tapes really are But ... I extracted the music from the file without filters and re-eq. It is warts and all, as they say. It does not suffer from a bad response curve, has about 55db of S/N, and virtually no flutter. I submit that this file sounds considerably better than the one submitted for opinion by Abbedd http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/40dba242...NO2UBB0nwwhGWM Carl |

Arny Krueger wrote: When reproduced over a modern system, these recordings tend to sound nasal, raspy, lacking in presence, with too much upper bass and not enough deep bass. I can't help but suspect that were they were mastered based on listening with modern speakers, they'd sound quite a bit different. It also could be that they kludged the micing and/or the mics are just not very good at lower frequencies. I've seen some awful equipment in studios. |

I asked for an opinion on why cds are juiced If all cds but one sound bad to me, I'd take another look at my equipment. Digital had some growing pains, but one surprise for me when I substantially upgraded my system was how good certain early cds sound. You haven't mentioned your source, but it could be you are using a computer and sound card. This can work, but there are inherent drawbacks that have to be overcome, fan noise and the like. As for pop and jazz,learn who the 'good guys' are. These names aren't guarantees of great sound but you stand a better chance when you see Steve Hoffman, Vic Anesini, Fine, et al, just as I think twice about an Inglot or Peter Mew or Jon Astley. On the other hand, you may have succeeded in eq'ing to your satisfaction on your system. Bravo, but don't expect the results to translate to other systems. Stephen |

Just your pompous attempt to establish some credibility with your multitude of mickey mouse titles and name dropping that all went up in smoke with a single piece of actual evidence of your presumed ability - namely the laughable MP3. I merely pointed out that you were an incompetent windbag just like several other people here did. Your low self-esteem could not deal with the fact and you started to act like many men of your stature and appearance do. I'm glad you keep in touch with your mom, only a mom could love a fat little furball like you. Cheers, Margaret |
