I think if you have the resources to make a great sounding recording and you dont utilize that….whats the point?

i guess this boils down to…..what is a "great sounding recording"? personally, i like to hear a few pops and hisses..and a missed note or two. but i’m sure alot of bands don’t think that way. they think that perfectly played totally sterile clean sounding recordings are perfect..

in the end, it is up to the folks making the music. tons of "big" bands could record their stuff at muscle shoals on sweet vintage equipment…but choose not to.

i have to agree with likea……chet’s singing bums me out. however, if you have room on yer jazz vocal mix, put "eat that chicken" by c. mingus on there. i love that tune…..that is one of my fave mingus albums ("oh yeah")

first evidence that musical training affects brain development in kids

i totally understand where yer coming from, RJ, and agree with you on all fronts. but……..one great byproduct of the "evolution" is that alot…..i mean A LOT more musicians are having their music heard…and that is a good thing. sure..i would love to have a classic analog studio to record in any time the muse hit me, but alas, i’m pretty sure that will never happen. but now…if i hear a cool riff in my head, or a cool melody…i can fire up my computer and record it in an instant. when i first started writing songs i taped them using the built-in mic on my boombox. and (holy shit is this funny) to add tracks, i would get another boombox and record the bass track over the original..hehe. (some stellar recordings in those days..). when i got my first four track i thought i had died and gone to heaven. sure, if i ever have the means to record an album proper, i will do it as low-tech as possible, but until then i’ll gladly take the results of this evolution and run with it. ok…that’s it for my rant.

if this has nothing to do with yer original post, i’m sorry..but i’m totally baked.

so if anyone cares…..after much hand wringing and deep contemplation, i scrapped the whole laptop idea and bought a new desktop. you can just get so much more bang for yer buck with a desktop, and still have room to upgrade when the time comes. haven’t decided what i’m gonna do with the old machine…any cool mad scientist-like ideas are welcome…
