Truth: The playback medium is reproducing the master recordings, and if the master recordings sound terrible, the playback cannot sound any better (this applies to all mediums including LP, CD, streaming, or reel-to-reel). False Claim: If the original recordings are digital, they are...

The best part about it is that you merely plug it in, ensure it is the default input device, and run your measurement software. It helps to apply the correct file to the software, which isn't hard to do. Ever since I got my OmniMic, it has become my primary measurement tool mostly because of...

If you only have the USB Mic, then no other electrical measurements can be taken. For instance, if you have an active DSP based crossover, you might want to measure a speaker with no crossover, that speaker with the crossover, and the electrical function of the crossover itself. I have also been...

They are quite good, and each one has its own calibration file to compensate for its imperfections.

I watched the show last night and I gotta say that was one of the most well made advertisements ever. Imagine getting hundreds of thousands of people to watch an hour long opus to the genius of your company! Impressive. That said, 90% of what John Good has to say is well known to everyone in...

He did some incredible session work in Jazz-Fusion genre as well played live around southern CA with some of the best sessions guys in the world and was incredible. Most of his solid stuff was mellow "New Age" style music. But, he was a phenomenal talent.

Been watching the Australian TV series, Underbelly, on Amazon Primeoff and on for quite awhile. Just started season 4 and I'm quite enjoying it.

Enjoying an old, VHS quality recording of Missing Persons playing live at some festival in 1983. These guys were a huge influence on my musical character and it is hilarious to watch one of the most talented and creative bass players of the time playing a synth bass for 90% of the concert! This...

I really, really, really like Rush - but I can only count one hand the number of tunes I could claim to "love". I get bored listening to most of their music, but their musicianship is stunning. Generally, when I listen their music, be it live or studio recorded, I am appreciating the skill and...

Dead Boss on Hulu... I miss this style of comedy!!!

Keep in mind 80% of Drum Workshop's success was paid advertising and classic, well known drum design already employed by all the major manufacturers. Meanwhile, 90% of John Goodall's ideas were fucking stupid. Many drummers, even paid endorsers of DW, feel DW's success happened in spite of John...

This is a pretty well worn video... I've seen it posted dozens of times on various audio nerd social media sites. It is a good design, in general. That particular manufacturing process is surprisingly complex and slow, but I imagine the typical build is an assembly line approach. I believe the...

Did you choose an amp?

Back to the point (pun intended)... I no longer have the printouts, but I borrowed an MLSSA acoustics and audio analyzer back in the 1990s and with some friends measured things like THD, Decay, Cabinet Vibration, and such for a single driver fullrange loudspeaker. We compared the performance of...

So I finally took the time to sit down and listen to the latest album from Flying Colors, and DAMN! This is their best, yet! The recording is pretty damn good, as well.

I've heard about that, but no one has ever explained it to me. Or, maybe they have tried explaining it and all I heard was "blah blah wompa dumdity doo" because I knew it was utter bullshit before they opened their mouth.

No no no... not Spike the cartoon dog! And NO! Not the spikes on the leather fetish garb:

I love the Tribble episode!!!

The only reason I subscribed to CBS All-Access was to watch Star Trek. There are other great shows I got to see as well, like "No Activity", and of the primetime shows tend to prefer CBS over the other networks as they tend to have better written shows - at least more mature writing in terms of...
