analog
http://www.alansondheim.org/152.mp3 analog recording with 1971 Sony TC-152SD cassette recorder and Radio Shack Stereo Electret microphone from the same era, using TDK high bias SA90 tape. this is fed through Audacity into a .wav file fed into Audition where normalization and studio reverb are added and outputted as .mp3. the reason for all of this is analog's ability to handle high-onset/format sound, resulting in greater fidelity to the overall envelope of the instrument, even though the high end cuts out around 15hz. I've been fascinated by the results: this is what I 'hear' in the room or directly through headphones. the tape is edited to bring out oud, sarangi, pipa, and cura cumbus. the sarangi could have been better; I've been bleary. I've been working with harmonics and 'grating' the bow. oud, pipa, and cura cumbus are fine. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
