In Topic: What's your favourite track/album to listen to from a engineering/product...

16 February 2012 - 11:29 AM

I regularly pull up the song Detours by Sheryl Crow from the album of the same name. For me the vocal is about as loud as a lead vocal can be on a track without being too loud. Its a good one for when A&R people are asking for more and more and more lead vocal. The bottom end on that track is really well controlled while being nice and full. I'm a fan of the way Bill Botrill goes about making records and think this is a really good example of his work

In Topic: What are your thoughts on Music Piracy?

13 January 2012 - 06:02 PM

I love the idea of Spotify but have to wonder if it is a good thing or a bad thing in the long term. My main beef with consumers being able to "take" music for free isn't so much the amount of money which is no longer in the pot to make records but more that the value of a piece of music is diminished greatly cause the consumer hasn't had to pay for it. I'm not sure Spotify helps with that so much.

My other big beef with the Piracy debate is from people who blight about our business loosing money because people who steal music and have computers filled with crack software. Kinda takes a little bit of power from our side of the please don't steal my work argument :)

In Topic: Recording Non-Conventional Acoustic Guitar

17 December 2011 - 10:33 AM

I cut a guitarist recently who played and also spoke like this bloke. Record chain was U87-1073- CL1B plus a KM54 -1073- CL1B with very fast attack and release but compressing quite gently. Used the Waves C6 whilst mixing which allowed for almost forensic compression of the thumpy bits while keeping the rest of the sound intact. Also treated the 87 and the KM54 quite differently in the mix stage so that when the 87 channel was compressing hard the KM54 channel was barely working and vise versa. Ended up sounding like an acoustic guitar in a room
