Actually the Brit spelling, analogue.
Oh. Derp! I'd read the article, but didn't recall exactly how it was spelled. Just knew it wasn't "ANAL."
Yeah, I know. Wasn't intending it to contribute anthing to brutal beating of that dead horse. Just posting it as the most "unfortunate Facebook crop" I'd ever seen.

Arrgh, my minds eye...I will never get it clean again
I know, that's what I said too!
Double-take at it's ... most insquidious?

What happens when the system reaches the necessary quality level is that all the "inner" sounds separate out and become fully identifiable, and consistent in their own spaces. One analogy is that the playback systems unmixes the final waveform and sends each sound track to a separate set of speakers in your listening space, dedicated to that particular sound component. So, yes, the band jumping into the swimming pool would be easy to pick, as that unique event. That is the result, subjectively, when the playback is good enough - you hear everything, and can easily shift your focus to one particular thing happening, and lock onto it if you choose to - the cocktail party thing ...
Very complex pop "orchestrations" unravel in that fashion, so something like 20 sound elements occurring at one particular moment will all be "seeable", each as an individual contribution. This is very satisfying to listen to, like indulging in a very complex and rich desert ...
But my point is, after Trevor Horn and JJ had spent months ripping the original song apart and feeding it through the CMI it just sounds like white noise (hint its the sound after they shout 'hey'). I love the track but you can't use it as a measure of transparency or accuracy. But the 12" is a masterclass on how to build up a complex mix.
But hey what do I know. I use the 12" of motorheads killed by death on occasion as a test record
I like the cut of ur jib sir.
[I make up words all the time ... and can speak in a lang that only a 'select' few have the historicity an' veracity to follow ...]
Yes, you can,
. You're "measuring" the ability of the playback to resolve all the inner detail, without "losing it" at higher volume levels. If something just sounds like "white noise", then that's a fail - good reproduction means that at even room, or house filling volumes that all those subtle little "things" happening in the mix are still crystal clear - if the sounds blur or stew together in the listening then it's a marker that there's work to be done, the level of competence of the playback needs to be raised.
Hmmm ... I've just listened to one, clean, YouTube grab of that Relax track, from when I did it previously - there are duds on that site, the idiots posting it think they're clever, pushing it heavily into clipping, - and even in the really mediocre sound of this laptop the quality shines through, the jump into the pool is clearly heard, sounds nice and watery, and also occurs a number of times earlier in the track ... hmmm ...

As a fan of school for scandal as well as Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll I love a good malapropism of an evening.
And my desert island poem is this from EE cummings (can you tell my favourite English teacher was from across the pond). I hope poetry is allowed in the lounge?

And start with naught, the question is do you use lines through to disambiguate 1 from 7, 0 from O, etc. I have since a third grade nun (the one who always used naught instead of zero) taught me to.

The answer is yes, Scott, but then I'm a pernickity sonofabitch. What's your excuse? Nun fetish?
11 years working with Finns where they draw '1' as I draw 7 means I always use the lines now. Comma vs decimal point still catches me out sometimes when reading hand written stuff from my continental co workers.
Nice to see Yello there - amazing stuff on CD too; massive sound, distancing to forever ...
Yes, a real goody is
... spectacularly huge, reverb creating enormous soundstages, stretching vast distances from one's house ...
