I understand that. I just wanted to know of something that sounded good on his B&W's in particular cause it might sound good on my speakers. Commercial or whatever.
My whole complaint here is finding rock that sounds good on my hi-fi system. Jazz usually sounds great, but rock usually sounds like ass, no dynamics at all, It's all squahed to shit.Have heard a couple Ozzy CD's that were pretty good.
As far as having a link to any stuff that I have done. No not in particular right now. I will go through my stuff here and see what I can pull up. My studio is without heat right now,(FUCKING RACCOONS ATE A WHOLE IN MY ROOF)but I have the computers networked so I can get to my files. I do have allot of crap,... CRAP being the key word here.
Some stuff I recorded well, but the performances sucked, others the performance were good but recording sucked. I never claimed to be some great mixer here. I am a great listener with a good ear. I grew up around Hi-Fi. I just don't always know how to go about getting what I want when I mix multitracked music. I can record live pretty good though.
My background...well...when I was 6 my dad built a studio and I took piano lessons from him. Then I took sax in 5th grade and learned guitar in 10th grade. Then I learned how to play drums and bass cause they were always out in the studio...so why not.
I went with my dad to run sound for bands all the time and he was an electrical engineer so he knew all the scientific stuff about music. I learned everything he taught me and then I went to school for EE at Purdue.
Then my dad made a trade with me for all his old equipment for a car cause he didn't have time for it anymore. He sold me the studio, and I started getting into recording for myself and got into digital shit.
Then I got sick of my computer running digital recording programs like ass and learned about how to build computers so I could make the best instead of looking for a gateway or something that may have a bunch of extra crap I didn't want. With the knowledge I learned from that I figured I would start my own business selling custom computers to people like me.
Then I had a couple lab jobs in the mean time and got sick of it. Got a job at the TV station, worked on some commercials and stuff, ran camera and mixed, and then ran engineering there. Got sick of the bullshit got another lab job at Crown Audio where I met a guy that does reviews for speakers and got turned on to the speakers I have now.
Then I hooked up with my dad doing sound analysis for different places putting in sound systems.
So now I know how to play music, I know the electronics, I know the computer shit, I have the equipment, and FINALLY getting around to learning how to mix RIGHT. I have done a bunch of other superfulous shit too.
I used to play sax 2 years for Pine Top Perkins, I don't know if you have heard of him but he's an old blues legend REALLY old. I was never on an album with him but I have allot of bootleg stuff from the clubs. Uh... I've worked with a guy that had a Killer studio that got all kinds of commercial jobs and I got to help out alot. Been around music and science all my life. All aspects of it.
I'm in a cover band right now and run my own business. I make computers basically, networking, web design and graphics. I'm just sick of driving all the time, especially in the winter. When summer gets here I get back into playing shows and take a break until I can get back out in the studio after all the work is done.
Then PLAY time begins.
