Where is it this week, month, day?

So, what is your forte'?

Do you ponder in psyco. acoustics with the elctro acoustical transformations we call loudspeakers and their acoustic environments? Or are you into wire, cable and juice, or more into how the magic of several thousand and different recording studios with a plithora of different set-ups and engineers can even achieve something remotely resembling music, on an vastly greater number of combinations that consumers enjoy daily?


Just wanting to open the floodgates and see where your main intrests of study in this vastness is focused lately?

For me, the Macro and Micro differences are all affected by the final mastering...making the most unimagitivly expensive and thought out reproduction systems, have wild variances.

This all weighs on the shoulders of the Acoustic environment and your proximity to the actual source.

Should we hear as the musicians hear during the performance, as the conductor, or audiance?

Would you prefer to listen to a drum kit as the drummer hears it...panned toward the drummer, or as the audience hears it?

It is massive in its scope..so all BS aside...one will have to finally admit to themselves, everything to do with reproduced sound comes down to actual ART, with science as an interferance.

Science truly can get in the way of the art.

The science is needed to verify what the art is displaying mostly to scientists...artist rarely give a fuck.

Howdy

I've always enjoyed music, I was in band for 8 years, piano for 10, organ for 2, played trombone, clarinet, trumpet, tenor sax, sung in church choirs, etc.

Also I built analog and digital synthesizers and took a lot theory of music as well as classes like Computer Aided Sound Sculpturing.

Till recently I had a lo-fi system with a lot of CDs, but when I caught the SACD bug I got on the upgrade spiral and have been enjoying the ride for 2 or 3 years now.

I've always enjoyed a wide range of music and like to have a system which can be enjoyable with many differing genres.

I've also enjoyed tweaking and like to find rationalizations which can guide me in choosing the most likely next thing to play with. But I have to admit at this point that I'm mostly just enjoying the music.

Too heavy...well I thought it could have brought out some interesting thoughts.

Thanks for attending Ted, I know you are in in.

I do mastering...because no matter what, this is where the true control is. Extrapolation of watering down for all of it..is the definition.

Fortunantly, I do high fidelity mastering for those who care. Few do anymore...but to thje ones that do care...ooohh la la.
