Lasers reveal how guitars create music
Sunday, May 29th, 2011I found this post on io9 pretty interesting, I think you will too: Lasers Reveal exactly how guitars create music. Click through to the original BBC News article for more info and photos.
What’s the difference? (sample rate/bit depth test)
Monday, May 23rd, 2011Test yourself. Create a new session in your DAW at 96kHz/24 bit. Import this file.
The bit depth and sample rate change with each sample. Can you hear the difference?
The source is a an original piece of music played by an orchestra (in a fairly bad room) captured with Neumann mics into Nagra 6 HD recorder at 96/24. Edit/mix/master by me.
4 versions were rendered from the mastering session with highest quality resampling mode and Ozone 4 MBIT+ dither.

“I don’t make music to impress engineers.”
Sunday, April 24th, 2011The other day I saw a post from Brandon Drury where he was responding to criticism of the source material for his analog summing shootout.
No one likes to see complaints about the things we’ve devoted our lives to.
One thing he said was “I don’t make music to impress engineers.” and I thought that was awesome it made me think. At a certain point in our careers, we know that we do good work. And at a certain point we have to trust ourselves and really not worry about what anyone (other than the clients of course!) thinks about our recordings, mixes, songs etc.
Don’t try to impress anyone except yourself (and your clients). If you know you did your best job, there’s no reason to second guess yourself. I don’t mean you should be arrogant, just confident in your abilities and the work you do.

A few random photos from the blog are below.
