Hang in there Willy. Now that a vaccine is on the horizon, I predict that things all around will be much better by next summer. Until that time, it's all about hanging in there and trying to keep your head above water, any way you can. I lost most of my income a few months back and have been trying...

I engineered for many years back in the 80s on all analog. 1", 2", 1/4". It can sound wonderful, but digital sounds great too. Many, many, many tests have been conducted and the results speak for themselves. People can't tell the difference. Scott Henderson's hearing probably ends at...

Yeah, it makes sense when you think about it, but in practice, nobody can tell the difference if it's a good recording. As far as recording and mastering completely in the digital domain, the same holds true...

http://www.artandscienceofsound.com/mcts/OC Ah, good find. It was posted on Vinnie's website for a few months. I think it cost around $1,200 to attend the two day recording workshop with Alan Parsons. Pretty good deal considering who and what was involved, but I can't help but wonder if the days of...
