Hard News: Review: Lana Del Rey, 'Born…, in reply to nzlemming,
Her polygons need tweaking.
Down boy.
;-)Anyhoo. When I was a junior sound engineer, too many moons ago to mention, limiting and compression were two of the best tools we had at our disposal. Back in the day, as they say, we all got our new sounds from the radio, in most cases the kids listened on a pocket transistor radio, the better ones having a "huge" 2.5 inch speaker. The only way for it to sound "good"was to compress the fuck out of it. We had what was known as a squawk box in the studio, a "massive" 3 inch speaker in a cardboard box, if it sounded good on that, it would sound good on the radio.
That was then and this is now, these days producers trying to get that 60's sound will miss the point completely and make stuff sound like the old stuff played on a good studio system which, as you all can guess, sounds like shit.
These days, of course, we have "Autotune"..... God help us. -

It’s a great walk that way, over to the Port Levy Saddle
Do they really have GIANT foxgloves up there? that one must be at least 3 metres tall.

Chairman, he say “Southern water is plentiful, northern water scarce. If at all possible, borrowing some water would be good.”
Well, as you can probably figure out for yourselves this is a brilliant idea because once you have used the water up north it flows back down south again thus creating great production for the Peoples Republic.

Credit where credit is due, an all that.
Roger is actually a Lamp made by a very good mate of mine called Andrew Palace who has a business called “Metal as Anything" in Grey Lynn behind Countdown on Williamson Ave. He has many such wonderful lamps, robots, spaceships and indescribables. -
Our local supermarket is selling DVDs I wouldn't even consider downloading for $24.95.
It seems that the distributors of such wares are relying on those incapable of using current technology and haven't heard of video hire shops.
How much longer can the dinosaurs survive? the situation is madness itself, I can't imagine another industry that appears that determined to kill itself.
