The Secret To Great Recordings

Wrong. There are many great recordings of sound effects, having no music at all. The point is the original poster said "great recording" You CANNOT make a great recording with low end problems and comb filtering. Sound effects have no music, but you can hear great recordings. One can ABSOLUTELY judge the recording as great while not caring much for the sound. I can easily pick out the best recording of a man puking, are you saying I can't? I can hear if a recording is in a good room or not no mater what the sound. I can tell if there are flutter echos, low end problems with snearing, EASILY, and it could be a terrible band. Sorry, a good recording is a good recording, meaning you can actually hear the low end of the instruments or sounds without smearing and huge dips in frequency. It has absolutely nothing to do with what sound is being recorded. It is either being presented in an acccurate way, or it isn't and is smeared up with low end problems. I await some links so you can show me how great recordings are made with massive dips in low end frequency and flutter echo with comb filtering. I'll be glad to admit you are right, so just a few links please. Show me some great recordings done with these problems evident.

A great technical recording of something not worth listening to is not a good recording in my calculus. I can give you a fantastic recording of absolute silence, So what? there's no point to it. It's all about the music. Without that, the rest is meaningless. One cannot jusge the recording while ignoring the content, they are a unified whole,"Pro" recording? What does that even mean. there's a whole shitload pf "pro" recordings made in expensive rooms that sound like crap. Wanna bet? If there is a demand for the album and the budgeted time and money are used up, they'll release dog shit on a platter to make money. They might give Ella the needed time and budget, but not everybody is Ella, either.

Look at Taylor Swift. She gets the budgets and the studios and the engineers, but the poor girl couldn't properly carry a vocal tune in a satchel. That is NOT a great recording - I don't care how sonically and technically shiny it might be - if the performance sucks, the recording sucks.

lol, still nothing of any substance, not even one link to a great recording that includes low end problems and flutter echo? Surely you can give me a few links to these great recordings with these massive low end problems, right Greg? Since it's just a great song and great performance that is needed to make a great recording, then we can ask what's the point in any of these high dollar studios, eh? How dumb these engineers are for spending thousands upon thousands to build walls inside of walls, floating floors and bass traps. Don't these fools know that Greg simply says all they need is a good song and good musicians and they could record in any bedroom, since it's all the same as long as the performance and musicians are good with a good song? Right Greg?

And i am waiting for you to give even a hint that y7ou have some brains and are not some teen recording in his bedroom. Uh, just a link or two to any great recordings involving low end problems will do, anytime. Then we can inform the world that there's no need to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars building these great rooms. All the fools need is a great song and great performance, and they would have great recordings, no expensive rooms needed, right Greg?

The entire "Exile On Main Street" album, "Nebraska", just about anything recorded at the original Stax Records, etc., etc.

Sorry, I have exile and no low end problems there, and if there were, it wouldn't be a great recording.
nebraska on a 4 track, and it isn't a "great", or particularly "good" recording I have it too.
 
you are taking on allcomers..you go for it, Ive got money on you!
 
Oh yeah, exile on my headphones right as i type. Sorry, I hear clear low end for the most part, guitar parts are clear in the low end for the most part. Yep, no doubt about it, this was not recorded in a small bedroom and it would be obvious if it was, great songs and musicians or not.

No, you have money on good recordings coming from good rooms, and that's a good bet. I think you know there's a reason thousands upon thousands of dollars are spent building great studio rooms just for that reason. If the Gregs of the world were right great rooms would be meaningless, all you would need would be great songs and great performances. Greg will make them all feel like fools when he lets the world know that great rooms are meaningless and all they need have done was get good musicians and good songs and that is all that was needed. can you imagine how dumb all these sound engineers and studio build companies will feel once Greg tells them the real truth? Wow.

lol, yeah, there's some good arguments Greg. can't wait till you inform the world of how they have been wasting thousands on good rooms., lol.
 
Look. I don't know what's more absurd.
1. Your relentless pursuit of the logical fallacy that rooms are either great or crap.
2. Your laughable 192k mp3.
3. Your apparent, pathalogical inability to be wrong.
4. All of the above.

As for talking recording smack...probably want to ease up on that, slick.

Greg produces some damn solid mixes and Im pretty sure it ain't in a "great" room.:laughings:

I'm gonna go with #4.

As far as my mixes go, I'm sure Phil Spector here will find plenty wrong with them. I mean, he's a real pro, and even if they're good, he's gonna have to talk shit about them just to save face. I've seen and heard it a million times.
