Dutch Radio Streams
That depends on your taste.
I listen to Dutch Radio because I like to listen to my native language. This is pretty cool since I live in the USA.
The weirdest thing is the traffic information. Currently they have a Road Block on the A28, this is on the other side of my world.
I will set up some links to kewl Dutch Radio Streams

Well I made a tape for my daughter with Melissa Lefton, Britny Spears, Nobody's Angel, Madonna, Debbie Gibson and Go Go's. I have this on my hard drive and that is what I use because it is light hearted pop stuff. And if a design can deal with the toppy highend and the super compressed bass drum it can usually deal with most anything. Now when I grab a CD I usually get some 50's stuff that used real mics. like Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington or 70's stuff like jeff beck.

SO SORRY....
Ah,
A man that knows the recording chain always catches my attention...
Gone are the days of the glorious RCA, Neumann,Shoeps and AKG mics along with my last AC701K TFK tube.
Let's organize a funeral,
So saaad,

Jeff Beck
I still remember his hit with "Love is Blue"
www.jeffbeck.com
"Jeff Beck began his musical career following a short stint at London's Wimbledon Art College. He earned a reputation by supporting Lord Sutch, which helped him land the job as the Yardbirds' lead guitarist following the departure of Eric Clapton. Beck stayed with the Yardbirds for nearly two years, leaving in late in 1966 with the pretense that he was retiring from music. He returned several months later with "Love Is Blue," a single he played poorly because he detested the song. Later in 1967, he formed the Jeff Beck Group with vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ron Wood and drummer Aynsley Dunbar, who was quickly replaced by Mickey Waller; keyboardist Nicky Hopkins joined in early 1968."
What you think is guitarist Jeff Beck's best album?

Re: SO SORRY....
"So Sorry" you mean about having to listen to Spears and Gibson..?
I really have grown to like the stuff!
As for the mics, my Boss, Aspen Pittman, has a HUGE vintage Mic collection. he has every Telefunken and Neumann, RCA44. you name it! Boy when he kicks it that will be some garage sale!

Hi Robert,
Yep,I know.
Tickle him a bit...😀
He bought quite a few VF14 and AC701K for those mics through me.
They go over a 1000 USD a pop so GT won't be down the drain that soon...😎

Hi Robert!
Tell me when the time has come! I'll be there!!! I wouldn't miss it for a million $ .
😀 😀 😉 Just kidding, I don't wish any harm to your boss of course.....
Frank, about the funeral for these mics, I wouldn't be that sure...... High quality condenser tube mics are still built and used in studios. I think the "unnatural sound" of modern pop recordings that many audiophiles hate so much has other reasons:
1. The tracks are often recorded on digital machines rather than good ol' big studer 2" tape machines (they'd perhaps need a nice funeral 😉 ).
2. Lots of samples are used.
3. Mastering mashes up all dynamics to have maximum average loudness.

REQUIEM FOR A MIC
Hi guys,
I second that.
You're right about the recording of most pop records being overproduced.
For classical music,jazz etc I always could tell what mic was used,they're not perfect either.
A good recording engineer would pick the best mic according to location and type of music.
Anyone remember the Decca tree with just two crossed mics on a boom?
What I deplore Bob, is that a lot of the principles of sound recording are not used anymore,everyone seems to go for multimike,multiple feed,equalizers,close mic setups and so on.
A lot of the magic of these mics was due to the tubed electronics used by them.
Unfortunately most of these little miracles are long gone or just sitting in a collectors' vault.
Ciao, 😉

Hey Frank,
Forgot that one.fdegrove said:
I agree that the real old babies probably have parts in them that are no longer used or even fabricated. And I can imagine the differences between vintage and modern circuits also affect the sound......fdegrove said:
You're damn right, especially american high- class studios have tons of vintage mics and outboard equipment and collect 'em to make sure they won't run out of any..... I've read a story in a audio magazine by some finnish guy who visited several studios on the east- and westcoast of the US. Some of them appeared to have vintage equipment collections that included e.g. old Urei compressors and Pultec tube Eq's etc. - and man, they don't have only one in stock, but 3 or 4!!!!!!!!!!fdegrove said:

RE:REQUIEM FOR A MIC
Hi,
Well,it's not all bad news really.
Some recording studios do still know how to get it right.
David Manleys' recordings were pure analog,taken from his own fabulous mics and all tubed electronics.
Dynamic range and tonal purity were just beyond belief!
He really put all the digital stuff on the spot with those!
Dave Wilson made some very fine recordings as well and I recall one that actually explained in detail how and with what gear the were made.
The characteric tonal deviations of each mic could clearly be heard on these,you heard the acoustics of the environment (in this case a church) and even the traffic noise outside that church was there.
IMHO,the best specialist studios still use the Pultec stuff and a lot of this gear is still made to this day using....tubes.🙂
Cheers,😉

Yeah,
It's mostly them old guys like Bruce Swedien or other nerds that still make the best sound in the world with those stylish old pieces of equipment......

Hi Bob,
Do you feel there is enough interest in this topic to carry this over to a new thread?
I'm very interested in anything even remotely related to the better studio gear and the art of recording.
Other folk may feel we're threadjacking here.
