The dumbest things' I've heard Audio
engineers and Studio Owners say (or do!).
But for now how about this one.... "I can hear 1/2 db difference at 20=
,000
hertz".
Told of course by an Audio Engineer who has never worke=
d on a
'major' project.
and does his work in digital... and thinks it so=
unds great,
thinks he's great too.
Same guy walked into a Control Room and said confidently and with authority=
it
was up 6db at 300 hertz...
but when measured it was down 6bd at 300 hertz!
Wow! The Golden Ears of Cotton!
or... Can you help me=
...
I want my voice to sound like John Lennon on Rubber Soul
what equipment do I have to buy to get that vocal sound=
?...
a 'real' request from the 'Prodigy Professional forum...
Hey...You aren't John Lennon... you will NEVER sound like him.
everyone thinks if they just buy the same gear they will sound
just like
whoever they want.... yet they have no talent, no skill, but what the hell.=
..
isn't that what ProTwels is for - to allow
non-talented folks to pretend to be musicians???
the best and most constant one is (of course)
"It sounds like a capacitor going out..."
or
"It should be easy to fix."
Recently a guy emailed me and told me that he could tell which tape
recorder
was used on any record he heard - even on FM radio !!!<=
/span>
Well this is honestly impossible - you can NOT tell which tape recorder
recorded what
over FM Radio which has it's own compression, EQ, noise, distortion on it's
own,
let alone someone 'knowing' that say an Ampex M=
M1000
was used for the basics,
a MCI for the guitar overdubs, a 3M56 for the vocals, and all of this mixed=
to
a 3M M56 two track then Mastered via an Ampex
440B....
geeze what was this guy thinking.... but there =
are
folks out there who will tell you they
have a set of Perfect Ears, and are the greatest Audio engineer ever, and c=
an
hear a pin drop on a pillow 1,000 feet away
Likely the same guy who pretends to be a 14 year old girl in chat rooms!
