Totally wrong! Producers, IMO, play an important role whenever a band is in the process of recording an album by suggesting what or who to add or subtract to each song recorded in the studio.
Have you ever listened to Christopher Cross singing "I really don't know anymore" and then hearing...
No one is saying that you are evil.
You have openly admitted that you pretty much get drunk every night in the midst of posting here at HR. Once upon a time here at HR, there was the SAS forum.
Perhaps it's time that HR Administrators should resurrect the SAS forum or create a similar sub...
I have to admit that this thread caught my interest because of the photos that Sweetbeats posted and the measurements of that rubber covered pinch roller, which is only what? 3/8" or 1 /2" wide. The left and right side diameters measured .015 mm (.006" ) less than the center of the pinch roller...
And there you have it! That is the key thing!
Get it right before you press the bright red Record button. There has been many times, in the past, I recorded a crap track.
I concur, with one caveat. It was more than obvious from the get go that Mr. Recycle was the most recent alias indentity created by a priorly banned HR member.
I agree with Grim that the the thread, itself, wasn't all that harmful.
I'm guessing that when Mr. Recycle was removed, the removal...
I have to agree with Rob. In most live band settings, the drummer is centrally located, which amounts to (in my mind) that a very narrow range of right to left panning is necessary when recording drums.
I must have just missed whatever it was posted before it was edited (once again) by Mr. Smithers. Posting "It's Crap" and "Goodbye" in the recording techniques forum is flat out weird.
Nearly everyone here (long time members) have had disagreement with others in the past.
And every year...
I still have a reel to reel recorder that I used years ago to record and I still have the tapes of what I had recorded years ago.
I digitized a few recordings from those tape recordings only to discover that there was (for lack of better words) a loss of the fluidity and fullness that tape...
There's an even longer list of names who Fagan and Becker employed and hired.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a Steely Dan fan, with one exception. Fagan and Becker never performed as a duo in front of a live audience, which was the norm for Seals and Croft, and other duos back in the day.
This thread piqued my interest because I have a friend who is a drummer whose first experience in a recording studio changed his approach to tuning his acoustic drum. My friend was the drummer for a progressive rock band. They recorded. In the control room listening to what had been recorded...
That's what I was thinking because " You all know the rest of the story" doesn't cut it and it isn't the first time used to describe an incoherent and incomplete story.
Paul Harvey would tell complete stories, and then always say, "And now you know the rest of the story."
It's possible that there is a soldering problem.
Here's a good read how as to how someone else experiencing the same problem of fade in/out eventually discovered what caused the problem and what he did to fix it...
